I'm looking for a collection of open-source frameworks/projects for the iPhone platform.
I've found quite a few good frameworks and resources. Such as ASIHTTPRequest, DrawKit, and Cocos2D 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.
Is iOS open source or closed source?
Apple's iPhone/iOS platform is generally classified as a closed ecosystem because Apple has complete control over both the software (the operating system and apps that can be installed) and the hardware (the phone itself).
Is Apple open source or closed source?
Google's Android is considered an Open Source mobile OS, while Apple's iOS is considered closed source and each has its own benefits and issues.
Does Apple have open source projects?
Open source software is at the heart of Apple platforms and developer tools, and Apple continues to contribute and release significant quantities of open source code.
Is iPhone closed source?
Android (Google) is an Open Source Operating System and iOS (Apple) is a Closed Source Operating System.
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."
