Another great week has gone by for iOS developers, and the upcoming release of iOS 5 is coming closer.
There was a definite increase in the number of great resources shared this week, and it was difficult to pick and choose which to feature on this site.
This week’s resources include a massive collection of useful iOS libraries that is really a must bookmark, a library created to replace Three20, a free augmented reality sdk – that actually works well – and more.
Here are the resources shared in order of popularity:
