I think the best approach would be a combination of NSDate, NSCalendar, and NSDateComponents.
You could create an NSDate for the first of each month (1/1, 2/1, 3/1, etc.) and then use the components:fromDate: method on NSCalendar with the NSWeekdayCalendarUnit constant to get the day of the week for the first of the month. That comes out as an int from 1 to 7 (1 is Sunday, 7 is Saturday, so Friday would be 6).
