Google has released an eclectic set of tools for Mac and iPhone developers called “Google Toolbox for Mac” in an attempt to share some sample code, conventions, and tools that Google believes Mac developers could use for inspiration. The toolbox is licensed under the open Apache License 2.0 and includes:
- A Google Objective-C “style guide”
- Geometry libraries to manipulate NSRect, NSPoint, and similar.
- Gradient-based shading code
- Additions to NSBezierPath, including GCPath conversions, round rects, and shading
- Login item manipulation (Mac specific)
- gzip for NSData
- XCode configurations
- and.. a lot more, naturally.
Google promises that more tools and updates will come along soon. Enjoy!
P.S. We need your help! As an aside, we are planning to run a feature soon on XCode customization and configuration. If you have any XCode configuration or customization tips or advice, please get in touch with us or leave your ideas as a comment on this post! We will give you credit, of course.
