A while back I mentioned Update Engine, an open-source API offered by Google for adding “Check for updates” functionality to your OS X apps. Along those lines, some folks might be interested in Google Toolbox for Mac, which they describe as “a collection of source from different Google projects that may be of use to developers working other Mac projects.” It’s chock-full of goodies; highlights include the following:
- Spotlight Importers, which allow you to use Spotlight (the built-in searching tool in OS X) to index and search through all your nerdy code stuff (source code–including AppleScript files, Xcode projects and metadata, the contents of Interface Builder .xib and .nib files, etc.).
- iPhoneUnitTesting, which you can use to, um, unit test your iPhone apps.
