Using Blocks:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

typedef void (^CompletionBlock)();
@interface SampleClass:NSObject
- (void)performActionWithCompletion:(CompletionBlock)completionBlock;
@end

@implementation SampleClass

- (void)performActionWithCompletion:(CompletionBlock)completionBlock{

    NSLog(@"Action Performed");
    completionBlock();
}

@end

int main()
{
    /* my first program in Objective-C */
    SampleClass *sampleClass = [[SampleClass alloc]init];
    [sampleClass performActionWithCompletion:^{
        NSLog(@"Completion is called to intimate action is performed.");
    }];
   
    return 0;
}

Declaring String Constants:

If they are specific and internal to a single class, declare them as static const at the top of the .m file, like so:

static NSString *const MyThingNotificationKey = @"MyThingNotificationKey";


====================================================================


If they pertain to a single class but should be public/used by other classes, declare them as extern in the header and define them in the .m:

//.h
extern NSString *const MyThingNotificationKey;

//.m
NSString *const MyThingNotificationKey = @"MyThingNotificationKey";

Detect screenshots in Objective C:

NSOperationQueue *mainQueue = [NSOperationQueue mainQueue];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:UIApplicationUserDidTakeScreenshotNotification
              object:nil
               queue:mainQueue
          usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note) {
             // executes after screenshot
          }];
         
         

Base64 Encoding and Decoding in iOS 7.0:

NSString *plainString = @"foo";

Encoding:
---------
NSData *plainData = [plainString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *base64String = [plainData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0];
NSLog(@"%@", base64String); // Zm9v


Decoding:
---------
NSData *decodedData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:base64String options:0];
NSString *decodedString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:decodedData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@", decodedString); // foo
