iOS Recipes: Tips and Tricks for Awesome iPhone and iPad Apps
Take your iPhone and iPad apps to the next level. You've seen cool features and tricks in other apps, but haven't had the time to really look into how they're done. We've got the answers for you. This book walks you through clean, reusable solutions to a wide variety of problems and patterns common to iOS development with Cocoa Touch and Objective-C. With these recipes in your arsenal, your next apps will be more polished and more maintainable than ever.
iOS Recipes begins with a tour of UIKit. Former Apple Evangelist Matt Drance and expert graphical-systems programmer Paul Warren show you how to write splash screens and embedded web browsers that are easily dropped into any project. You'll explore techniques for building complex table views without losing yourself in a sea of code, and see how to add some unique visual touches to any table--even the ones you've already built.
Next you'll explore Quartz and Core Animation, and you'll walk through a number of fills, transforms, and animations that will breathe life into any app or game. You'll also learn about gestures, transitions, and custom controls to take your user interactions to the next level.
You'll tackle networking with a few basic techniques to prevent unnecessary repetition in your codebases, and address some more complex problems like uploading large files to a web server. Finally, you'll see some simple disciplines and ideas that will make architecting, debugging, maintaining, and ultimately shipping your application easier every single time.
By the end of this book, you'll have expanded your iPhone and iPad development knowledge and be well on your way to building elegant solutions that are ready for whatever project you take on next.

IPA Library
ONE Jailbreak IPA Library is a well-organized collection of downloadable IPA files—covering jailbreak tools, tweaked/++ apps, emulators, utilities, and more—designed for iPhones and iPads. Updated regularly with labels for version, compatibility, size, and release date, it lets users easily sideload apps without needing the App Store. No jailbreak required—simply grab the IPA and use any sideloading tool (like Sideloadly, AltStore, or TrollStore) to install. It's one of the most reliable and safe sources for third-party IPA apps.

Good stuff for iOS Developers. I hope Matt continues to update and expand it.
