Description

Ideal features:

  • Browse list of protocols within the app, sort of like Classes
  • Search for specific protocols
  • See which protocols an object conforms to
    • Possibly have a switch or option to hide protocols U and V if T conforms to <U, V>
  • Dedicated screen for protocols
    • List methods and properties grouped by optionality
    • See which protocols this protocol conforms to

Research direction
Investigate how the app currently lists classes (e.g., FLEXClassesTableViewController) to understand the pattern for browsing protocols. Check comments on issue #249 for any updates. Look into using Objective C runtime functions to enumerate protocols and display them. Consider creating a new view controller similar to the existing classes browser.
