Learning Objective-C
Here is a list of some resources for learning Objective-C and iOS programming:
| Title | Author | Link |

| Programming in Objective-C | Stephen G. Kochan | Amazon |
| Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide | Aaron Hillegass | Amazon |
| Apple's Developer Documentation | Apple | Apple |
| The Core iOS 6 Developer's Cookbook | Erica Sadun | Amazon |
| iOS 6 Programming Cookbook | Vandad Nahavandipoor | Amazon |
| The New Boston Video Tutorials | Videos by Bucky | The New Boston |
Also: unofficial iPhone Dev SDK forum and Stack Overflow.
Setting up Theos
Follow this guide to set up your Theos environment by installing Theos, getting your headers, and creating your first project: Theos/Getting Started. These links may also be helpful: guide on Stack Overflow and this Theos documentation by theiostream.
Finding example projects
Here is a list of just a few of the many open source projects that can be used as examples: Open Source Projects.
Not finding what you are looking for? Try searching through GitHub for iOS Tweaks with a simple trick, "extension:xm".
Example:
extension:xm SBAwayController
Using the above code will search GitHub for all files with the extension .xm (because Theos by default creates a Tweak.xm file when creating a new tweak). The example above will result in finding tweaks that reference SBAwayController. Not all developers use the .xm file extension, but a large number do, and this will help you in finding those examples.
Prototyping a tweak
You can use Cycript to explore running processes. For a demo, see Adam Bell's JailbreakCon talk (example code and slides).
Publishing your package in a default repository
When you've completed a project (including testing), you may want to submit it to a default repository for distribution. These are your options, with links to information about submitting:
If you aren't sure which to pick, look up what your favorite developers use, or ask other developers for suggestions. If you have questions, email is usually the best way to get in contact with repository managers.
For questions about the Cydia Store system for paid packages, you can ask your favorite repository manager; they've helped many developers figure this out.
