Xcode plug-in to autocomplete name for image and Color

Xcode plug-in that provides autocomplete for imageNamed

Can't remember whether that image you just added to the project was called button-separator-left or button-left-separator? Now you don't have to, because this will autocomplete your imageNamed: calls like you'd expect. Just type in [ NSImage imageNamed: or [ UIImage imageNamed: and all the images in your project will conveniently appear in the autocomplete menu.

Facebook iOS app for iOS7 without left side bar !

If you have used or seen the new iOS 7, then there is one risky think apple has added to the OS. That is system wide swipe gesture ie swipe left to go back ! Why is it so risky ? It is because when we left swipe most of the app will open the side menu ! The example is facebook !!!

Now lets look at the new Facebook app for ios 7 which easily solves the slide side view menu problem, and goes native to iOS with tab bar controllers !

But this is only a test UI not a final UI hence it looks like a quick and dirty fix rather then a final flat iOS7 style design. Lets say its a functional design rather then graphical one.
