open-source framework for iPhone platform I've found quite a few good frameworks and resources. Such as ASIHTTPRequest, DrawKit, andCocos2D just to name a few. I'm just curious about the minor, or unknown frameworks that have yet surfaced or that I'm unaware of. Do any of you know of frameworks that are not mentioned in the following link? Some of the frameworks that I've found and utilize in some of my iPhone applications can be found here (list of iPhone frameworks). I'm not limiting the scope or type of frameworks/projects all are welcome. iphone open-source frameworks link|improve this question edited Aug 9 '10 at 12:24 Bill the Lizard♦ 86.8k51217425 asked Dec 23 '09 at 15:48 Tammen Bruccoleri 1,44911017 100% accept rate

Duplicate of stackoverflow.com/questions/1905407/useful-iphone-libraries – notnoop Dec 23 '09 at 16:19 @ notnoop, I'm aware of these other SO questions. I've gleaned alot of information from them. The particular question that I asked is about unknown frameworks/projects that are not on the beaten path or are really not known. – Tammen Bruccoleri Dec 23 '09 at 16:45 DrawKit is not an iOS framework – Andy Dent Dec 23 '11 at 8:03 Was this post useful to you?

This is a pretty cool library: "ASIHTTPRequest is an easy to use wrapper around the CFNetwork API that makes some of the more tedious aspects of communicating with web servers easier. It is written in Objective-C and works in both Mac OS X and iPhone applications." - http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/ Also, here's a list I stumbled upon in my travels: http://code.google.com/p/iui/ (UI library for Safari iPhone apps) http://iwebkit.net/ (another UI library for Safari) http://code.google.com/p/oolongengine/ (Google engine for iPhone) http://www.smartfoxserver.com/labs/API/ (SmartFoxServer multiplayer engine details for their new iPhone/iPod Touch API) http://code.google.com/p/cocos2d-iphone/ (Objective-C based 2D engine for the iPhone) http://www.unity3d.com (3D engine for iPhone and other platforms) http://blogs.unity3d.com/ http://iphonedevelopment.blogspot.com/2008/12/updated-opengl-es-xcode-project.html (OpenGL template for Xcode) http://www.garagegames.com/products/consoles (2d and 3d engines for iPhone) http://www.garagegames.com/products/torque-2d/iphone http://www.stonetrip.com/ (3d development tool) http://code.google.com/p/cocoahttpserver http://sio2interactive.com/HOME/HOME.html (free open source 3D engine for iPhone) http://homepage.mac.com/aglee/downloads/appkido.html (great alternative for the class/library browser) http://code.google.com/p/simple-iphone-image-processing/ http://code.google.com/p/appsales-mobile/ (locally built app for gathering metrics on your app) http://ioquake3.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Tech_3 http://unifycommunity.com/ (community for Unity3d development) http://www.fmod.org/index.php/products/fmodex (music/audio engine) http://code.google.com/p/simple-iphone-image-processing/ http://groups.google.com/group/cocos2d-iphone-discuss http://monoclestudios.com/cocos2d_whitepaper.html http://www.neverreadpassively.com/2009/03/review-of-iphone-3d-engines.html http://code.google.com/p/bullet/ (physics engine) http://www.box2d.org/ (physics engine) http://digitalbreed.com/2008/3d-engines-on-iphone-ipod http://wiki.slembcke.net/main/published/Chipmunk (physics engine) link|improve this answer edited Dec 23 '09 at 19:20 Dave DeLong 83.7k10137215 answered Dec 23 '09 at 15:54 Mr-sk 3,9671025

Yes, ASIHTTPRequest is a cool little library to have in your bag of frameworks/projects. – Tammen Bruccoleri Dec 23 '09 at 17:05 feedback

Here are the sites from were you can find reusable components 1) http://cocoacontrols.com/ 2) http://open.iphonedev.com/ 3) http://cocoaobjects.com/ Here is the twitter account where you can find popular reusable components on github about iPhone or iPad 4) https://twitter.com/#!/github_objc as answered here Is there a gallery of reusable iPhone components on the web?
