google-objc-avoid-nsobject-new

Finds calls to +new or overrides of it, which are prohibited by the Google Objective-C style guide.

The Google Objective-C style guide forbids calling +new or overriding it in class implementations, preferring +alloc and -init methods to instantiate objects.

An example:

NSDate *now = [NSDate new];
Foo *bar = [Foo new];

Instead, code should use +alloc/-init or class factory methods.

NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
Foo *bar = [[Foo alloc] init];

This check corresponds to the Google Objective-C Style Guide rule Do Not Use +new.
