Quickly testing iOS and objective-c code

Question

I was wondering if is there any way to quickly check iOS/objective-c snippets or new code inside my xcode project without having to compile the whole app for that, open up the simulator just to get the NSLog message traced on the console.

I remember when life was easier using ruby's irb or node command for node.js :)

It just gives me the impression that on iOS development you have to learn how to deal with this high complexity and dependencies all the time, but I am just starting on this new world. so any help would be appreciated.

thanks a lot

This timely blog post should help; I'm using it often already.

Update: there is also Code Runner available in Mac App Store - this supports many languages, including Objective-C.
