MAObjCRuntime is an Objective-C wrapper around the Objective-C runtime C APIs, providing an object-oriented interface for querying and manipulating classes, methods, and instance variables. It supports tasks like listing subclasses, swizzling method implementations, creating classes at runtime, and dynamically sending messages.

Use cases

  • introspect Objective-C class methods and ivars at runtime
  • enumerate all subclasses of a class
  • swizzle method implementations
  • create new Objective-C classes programmatically
  • dynamically invoke methods discovered via the runtime
  • get the true class of an object bypassing -class overrides

When to avoid

  • you target Swift-only or non-Apple platforms
  • you need actively maintained code with recent updates
  • you only need basic runtime features already covered by modern language APIs
