新特性：

Modules：用XCode5新建工程默认支持modules编译，老项目需在Build Settings里查找modules，找到的Enable Modules选项设置为YES。

对应新增语法：@import，导入系统头文件，例如：@import MapKit;  或者库的部分头文件：@import UIKit.UIView;

优点：不需要再在Build Phases里的Link Binary With Libraries添加系统framework文件；缺点：不支持自定义或第三方库

新返回类型：instancetype，用在构造函数返回类型上，建议以前用id作为返回类型的都改成instancetype。

好处：有更严格的编译类型检查，便于编译时即可发现潜在的问题；

NSArray：新增函数： -(id)firstObject; 但只要ios4以上都可以用

NSData：新增Base64编码，相应的函数有：

 

- (id)initWithBase64EncodedString:( *)base64String       options:(NSDataBase64DecodingOptions)options; - ( *)base64EncodedStringWithOptions:      (NSDataBase64EncodingOptions)options; - (id)initWithBase64EncodedData:( *)base64Data       options:(NSDataBase64DecodingOptions)options; - ( *)base64EncodedDataWithOptions:      (NSDataBase64EncodingOptions)options;

 

 

NSTimer：新增函数：

 

- (NSTimeInterval)tolerance;- (void)setTolerance:(NSTimeInterval)tolerance;

设置tolerance对于启动若干个fireDate相近的NSTimer有用，节省CPU唤醒时间

 

NSCharacterSet新增函数：

 

• + (id)URLUserAllowedCharacterSet
• + (id)URLPasswordAllowedCharacterSet
• + (id)URLHostAllowedCharacterSet
• + (id)URLPathAllowedCharacterSet
• + (id)URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet
• + (id)URLFragmentAllowedCharacterSet

 

新增类：

NSProgress：进度通知类

NSURLComponents：可把其视作NSMutableURL，例子：

 

NSURLComponents *components = [NSURLComponents componentsWithString:@"http://nshipster.com"];components.path = @"/iOS7";components.query = @"foo=bar";NSLog(@"%@", components.scheme); // @"http"NSLog(@"%@", [components URL]); // @"http://nshipster.com/iOS7?foo=bar"

CIDetectorSmile & CIDetectorEyeBlink：图像微笑和眨眼识别，例子：

 

 

CIDetector *smileDetector = [CIDetector detectorOfType:CIDetectorTypeFace                                context:context                                 options:@{CIDetectorTracking: @YES,                                           CIDetectorAccuracy: CIDetectorAccuracyLow}];NSArray *features = [smileDetector featuresInImage:image options:@{CIDetectorSmile:@YES}];if (([features count] > 0) && (((CIFaceFeature *)features[0]).hasSmile)) {    UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self, @selector(didFinishWritingImage), features);} else {    self.label.text = @"Say Cheese!"}

 

 

 

AVCaptureMetaDataOutput：支持二维码及其他类型码识别，例子：

AVCaptureSession *session = [[AVCaptureSession alloc] init];AVCaptureDevice *device = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];NSError *error = nil;AVCaptureDeviceInput *input = [AVCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice:device                                                                    error:&error];if (input) {    [session addInput:input];} else {    NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);}AVCaptureMetadataOutput *output = [[AVCaptureMetadataOutput alloc] init];[output setMetadataObjectTypes:@[AVMetadataObjectTypeQRCode]];[output setMetadataObjectsDelegate:self queue:dispatch_get_main_queue()];[session addOutput:output];[session startRunning];

#pragma mark - AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate- (void)captureOutput:(AVCaptureOutput *)captureOutputdidOutputMetadataObjects:(NSArray *)metadataObjects       fromConnection:(AVCaptureConnection *)connection{    NSString *QRCode = nil;    for (AVMetadataObject *metadata in metadataObjects) {        if ([metadata.type isEqualToString:AVMetadataObjectTypeQRCode]) {            // This will never happen; nobody has ever scanned a QR code... ever            QRCode = [(AVMetadataMachineReadableCodeObject *)metadata stringValue];            break;        }    }    NSLog(@"QR Code: %@", QRCode);}

SSReadingList：添加URL到safari阅读列表中，例子：

NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://nshipster.com/ios7"];[[SSReadingList defaultReadingList] addReadingListItemWithURL:URL                                                        title:@"NSHipster"                                                  previewText:@"..."                                                         error:nil];

AVSpeechSynthesizer：文本转语音，例子：

AVSpeechSynthesizer *synthesizer = [[AVSpeechSynthesizer alloc] init];AVSpeechUtterance *utterance = [AVSpeechUtterance speechUtteranceWithString:@"Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?"];utterance.rate = AVSpeechUtteranceMinimumSpeechRate; // Tell it to me slowly[synthesizer speakUtterance:utterance];

MKDistanceFormatter：距离格式化为本地文本，例子：

CLLocation *sanFrancisco = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:37.775 longitude:-122.4183333];CLLocation *portland = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:45.5236111 longitude:-122.675];CLLocationDistance distance = [portland distanceFromLocation:sanFrancisco];MKDistanceFormatter *formatter = [[MKDistanceFormatter alloc] init];formatter.units = MKDistanceFormatterUnitsImperial;NSLog(@"%@", [formatter stringFromDistance:distance]); // 535 miles
