objc-diff

objc-diff generates an API diff report for an Objective-C library, similar to those provided by Apple for the system frameworks. It assists library developers with providing their own diff report and verifying that no unexpected API changes have been made.

Examples:

• Example report
• Apple Platform SDK API differences
• XCTest API differences
