A comprehensive style guide and coding conventions for Objective-C projects, building upon Apple's Cocoa guidelines.
GitHub's Objective-C Style Guide is a set of coding conventions and best practices for Objective-C projects. It builds upon Apple's Cocoa guidelines to provide additional rules for whitespace, documentation, declarations, expressions, and control structures. The guide aims to standardize code style across teams and improve readability and maintainability.
Objective-C developers working on iOS or macOS projects, particularly teams seeking consistent coding standards. It's also useful for individual developers looking to adopt industry-aligned conventions.
It offers a well-structured, community-vetted extension to Apple's official guidelines, reducing ambiguity in style decisions. Developers choose it to enforce consistency, avoid common pitfalls, and align with patterns used by major open-source projects.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Specifies tab usage, newline endings, and vertical spacing to logically organize code, reducing formatting ambiguity and improving readability.
Enforces Tomdoc-style comments and 80-character hard-wrapping, ensuring consistent and clear documentation across the codebase.
Recommends object literals and dot-syntax for idempotent methods, aligning with contemporary Objective-C best practices for cleaner code.
Advises against exceptions for flow control and promotes NSError or ReactiveCocoa signals, enhancing code reliability and maintainability.
The README states the repository is no longer active, meaning it may not reflect current Objective-C developments or community standards, limiting its relevance.
Mandates specific conventions like tabs over spaces and strict curly brace placement, which can conflict with other team preferences or automated tools.
Requires manual adherence or custom tooling for compliance, unlike integrated formatters, increasing maintenance effort for teams.
