Understand that this is opinion only ... I have no idea if this is accurate, but ..... :-)


As long as you don't try to declare additional instance variables (which is definitely not allowed in categories), and your new initializer first calls the class's designated initializer before doing its own thing, I don't think you'd run into any problems.

  Try it and see what happens. :-)

Can a category declare a new initializer for an object?

ie,

@interface Foo (MyCategory)

- (id) initWithSomeNewArgumentList:(Bar *)bar :(Baz *)baz;

@end

If this is possible, is this considered good/bad practice?
