A curated list of awesome iOS ecosystem, including Objective-C and Swift Projects
A massive, community-maintained list of iOS/Swift/Objective-C libraries, tools, and resources sorted into dozens of categories — networking, architecture, charts, ARKit, databases, you name it. It's a bookmark dump for iOS developers who need a starting point on a specific problem, not a library or tool itself.
Wide category coverage that goes beyond the usual awesome-list suspects — things like Code Injection, Passbook, EventBus, and ARKit get their own sections, which is genuinely useful when you don't know a space yet. There's real CI gatekeeping on contributions: a Dangerfile and a quality_check.py script run on PRs, so it's not a totally unmoderated link farm. Still actively pushed (last push 2026-08-27) with 53k stars and 7k forks, so it keeps getting new entries rather than being a frozen Swift 2-era snapshot.
Nothing ever gets pruned — long-abandoned Objective-C libraries sit right next to actively maintained Swift ones with zero signal about which is which, so you have to click through and check each entry yourself. There's no metadata beyond a one-line description: no last-commit date, no star count, no SwiftUI-compatibility flag. The PR checks validate formatting and alphabetization, not whether the linked project is any good or still maintained, so inclusion says nothing about quality. At this size it functions as a search index you still have to vet yourself, not a set of recommendations.
