If you are looking for notifications within a process, give NotificationExplorer a look.

Some NIC templates here.

And a repository there: uroboro.github.io/repo.

Late hooking

UI usage

If you need to use UI elements, you have to wait until the application is ready.

Using callbacks:

static void notificationCallback(CFNotificationCenterRef center, void *observer, CFStringRef name, const void *object, CFDictionaryRef userInfo) {
	// UI is available, use UIKit here
}
 
%ctor {
	CFNotificationCenterAddObserver(
		CFNotificationCenterGetLocalCenter(), NULL,
		notificationCallback,
		(CFStringRef)UIApplicationDidFinishLaunchingNotification,
		NULL, CFNotificationSuspensionBehaviorCoalesce);
}

Using blocks:

static id observer;
%ctor {
	observer = [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:UIApplicationDidFinishLaunchingNotification
		object:nil queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
		usingBlock:^(NSNotification *notification) {
			// UI is available, use UIKit here
		}
	];
}

//if a destructor existed or you don't need to track the notification anymore
%dtor {
	[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:observer];
}

Dynamic bundle loading

Same applies if a class you want to hook is dynamically loaded by a bundle.

Using callbacks:

static void notificationCallback(CFNotificationCenterRef center, void *observer, CFStringRef name, const void *object, CFDictionaryRef userInfo) {
	if ([((NSDictionary *)userInfo)[NSLoadedClasses] containsObject:@"targetClass"]) {
		// Target class has been loaded
	}
}
 
%ctor {
	CFNotificationCenterAddObserver(
		CFNotificationCenterGetLocalCenter(), NULL,
		notificationCallback,
		(CFStringRef)NSBundleDidLoadNotification,
		NULL, CFNotificationSuspensionBehaviorCoalesce);
}

Using blocks:

static id observer;
%ctor {
	observer = [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:NSBundleDidLoadNotification
		object:nil queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
		usingBlock:^(NSNotification *notification) {
			if ([notification.userInfo[NSLoadedClasses] containsObject:@"targetClass"]) {
				// Target class has been loaded
			}
		}
	];
}

//if a destructor existed or you don't need to track the notification anymore
%dtor {
	[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:observer];
}

Collaboration and cross-platform compilation

When doing group projects you might find that each contributor has a different platform and possibly a different Theos installation path. To prevent make errors caused by the theos symlink, some may consider blacklisting it from the revision control software (git or svn). It doesn't matter if you do or not, the threat of a missing or incorrect symlink still exists.

Having worked with other developers with an Apple computer, while myself working with my iPhone5,1, I found myself "fighting" this annoyance. After a couple iterations I've made this snippet to fix this "problem":

__SYMLINK := /$(if $(filter $(shell uname -s)-$(shell uname -p),Darwin-arm Darwin-arm64),var,opt)/theos
T := $(shell [[ "$(__SYMLINK)" != `readlink theos` ]] && { rm -f theos; ln -s $(__SYMLINK) theos; })

To use it, place it anywhere before all includes, be it at the top of the Makefile or just before include theos/makefiles/common.mk.

Previous iterations.

Alternatively, add this instead, only in the main Makefile:

T := $(shell sh symlinkfixer.sh)

And save this as symlinkfixer.sh:

find . -name Makefile -exec dirname {} \; | sed 's_$_/theos_' | xargs -I SL bash -c 'platform=$(uname -s)-$(uname -p); _THEOS=/`[[ $platform == Darwin-arm || $platform == Darwin-arm64 ]] && echo var || echo opt`/theos; [[ $(readlink SL) != $_THEOS ]] && { rm -f SL; ln -s $_THEOS SL; }'

Wondering what looks better:

To "wikitable"...

JSON style XML style

	entry = {

		defaults = "com.your.tweak";
		label = "Your Tweak";
		key = enabled;
		default = 1;
		icon = "/Applications/Preferences.app/[email protected]";
		PostNotification = "com.your.tweak/preferences.changed";
	};
}

Maybe collapsing?
