objc-property-declaration

Finds property declarations in Objective-C files that do not follow the pattern of property names in Apple’s programming guide. The property name should be in the format of Lower Camel Case.

For code:

@property(nonatomic, assign) int LowerCamelCase;

The fix will be:

@property(nonatomic, assign) int lowerCamelCase;

The check will only fix ‘CamelCase’ to ‘camelCase’. In some other cases we will only provide warning messages since the property name could be complicated. Users will need to come up with a proper name by their own.

This check also accepts special acronyms as prefixes or suffixes. Such prefixes or suffixes will suppress the Lower Camel Case check according to the guide: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CodingGuidelines/Articles/NamingBasics.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001281-1002931-BBCFHEAB

The check will also accept property declared in category with a prefix of lowercase letters followed by a ‘_’ to avoid naming conflict. For example:

@property(nonatomic, assign) int abc_lowerCamelCase;
