Loadable bundles are bundles which contain code that can be loaded at runtime. [9] Loadable bundles usually have the extension .bundle , and are most often used as plug-ins . On macOS, there is a way to load bundles even into applications that do not support them, allowing for third party hacks for popular applications, such as Safari [ 10 ...
Rhapsody evolved into Mac OS X, and the Yellow Box became Cocoa. Thus, Cocoa classes begin with the letters NS, such as NSString or NSArray. These stand for the original proprietary term for the OpenStep framework, NeXTSTEP. [2] Much of the work that went into developing OpenStep was applied to developing Mac OS X, Cocoa being the most visible ...
Core Foundation (also called CF) is a C application programming interface (API) written by Apple Inc. for its operating systems, and is a mix of low-level routines and wrapper functions.
It initially served as the UI framework for NeXTSTEP. [2] Along with Foundation and Display PostScript , it became one of the core parts of the OpenStep specification of APIs. Later, AppKit and Foundation became part of Cocoa , the Objective-C API framework of macOS .
Calendar, previously known as iCal before OS X Mountain Lion, is a personal calendar app made by Apple Inc., originally released as a free download for Mac OS X v10.2 on September 10, 2002, before being bundled with the operating system as iCal 1.5 with the release of Mac OS X v10.3. It tracks events and appointments added by the user and ...
The original Mac OS used Pascal as its primary development platform, and the APIs were heavily based on Pascal's call semantics.Much of the Macintosh Toolbox consisted of procedure calls, passing information back and forth between the API and program using a variety of data structures based on Pascal's variant record concept.
Core Data is an object graph and persistence framework provided by Apple in the macOS and iOS operating systems. It was introduced in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and iOS with iPhone SDK 3.0. [1] It allows data organized by the relational entity–attribute model to be serialized into XML, binary, or SQLite stores. The data can be manipulated using ...
Apple has changed the interface since its inception (in OS X 10.5) through the official launch of GCD (10.6), Mountain Lion (10.8) and Mavericks (10.9). The latest changes involve making the code supporting pthreads, both in user mode and kernel, private (with kernel pthread support reduced to shims only, and the actual workqueue implementation ...
