The New York Times' Objective-C style guide documenting coding conventions for their iOS teams, covering naming, spacing, error handling, and other style rules. It is now officially deprecated with no further development.
Use cases
- adopt consistent objective-c coding conventions for an ios team
- learn objective-c style best practices
- reference naming and formatting rules for legacy ios codebases
- compare objective-c style guides before writing a team standard
- onboard new developers to an existing objective-c codebase
When to choose
- you maintain or read legacy Objective-C iOS code and want a well-known conventions reference
- you want a battle-tested style guide from a large engineering organization
When to avoid
- you are starting a new iOS project in Swift
- you need an actively maintained or enforceable linting tool rather than a document
