Where can I obtain a complete listing of all NS-based classes (Cocoa)?

Question

Where can I obtain a complete listing of all NS-based classes?

Answer 1

Xcode -> Help -> Documentation: look under AppKit Reference and Foundation Reference. I'm sure there's similar documentation on apple's dev website.

Answer 2

As far as I recall, the Foundation, AppKit and Core Data frameworks contain all of the non-deprecated NS* classes. You can find the references for Foundation, AppKit, and Core Data on developer.apple.com or in the documentation installed locally with the Apple Developer Tools (use Xcode's Help->Documentation). For a list of all of the "Cocoa" frameworks, start here.

Answer 3

You will find an overview of both Foundation class hierarchy and Application Kit class hierarchy (grouped by topics) in the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide.

Answer 4

There is a free app that Andy Lee wrote that is very useful for quick method reference, called AppKiDo:

It gives you the option of including individual frameworks in your search results.
