Some Useful External Objective-C API

The followings are some iOS API that I found useful.

• fmdb. A Cocoa / Objective-C wrapper around SQLite   Instead of use sqlite C interface, use this API to make your life easier.

• MBProgressHUD.                                                                          A modal progress view. You can use it to tell that users login/download/loading is progressing
• ASDepthModal.                                                                            A modal popover view container Use it to popover a view and get the nice blur effect.
• ASIHTTPRequest. A nice http and network API             This is a nice alternative for NSURLRequest. ANd it comes with a good tutorial.
• cocoacontrols. A website where you can find tons of open-source iOS UIs

I have to say, spending time on searching external APIs on Github will really save your time later. Though you may want to pay attention on Licensing if you are doing a commercial project.
