Property reflection in Objective C for iOS

ios, objective-c

Solution

May be this will help:

You can get the list of properties in a class using class_copyPropertyList

objc_property_t * class_copyPropertyList(Class cls, unsigned int *outCount)

and then from each property, you can get the property name using `property_getName` function and the property attributes using the `property_getAttributes` function (if you need to filter read-write properties).

Problem

I would like to be able to use reflection on a classes within Objective C to determine what properties are available at run time. I do something similar for classes right now using ``` NSString *str = NSStringFromClass([object class]); ``` What I would like to do is use this result to go back to the class and see what properties are available as well as what type these properties are.
