I imagine I'm not the only one who would like to know when Cocoa throws an uncaught exception. Are they documented anywhere?

Not consistently. Some methods are documented as throwing exceptions, and others aren't. Similarly, some method documentation specifies what the error return value would be, and others don't specify anything about error handling.


I find Apple's documentation particularly bad in this regard, compared to say the documentation for the Java, Python, C, or C++ standard libraries, and other proprietary libraries like MFC or QT. Overall I think Cocoa is impressive, but the documentation leaves a lot to be desired, at least as far as being consistent and well organized.
