If anyone can find a place in any documentation or header files that *says* the indexed to-many accessors (such as insertObject:in<Key>AtIndex: and removeObjectFrom<Key>AtIndex:) are KVO-compliant when used directly, you'd be doing a public service by posting a link.

While researching an answer for a different thread, I found it:

The description of NSKeyValueChangeKindKey in the NSKeyValueObserving protocol reference[1] says that:

A value of NSKeyValueChangeInsertion, NSKeyValueChangeRemoval, or NSKeyValueChangeReplacement indicates that mutating messages have been sent to the array returned by a mutableArrayValueForKey: message sent to the object, or that one of the key-value-coding- compliant array mutation methods for the key has been invoked, or that willChange:valuesAtIndexes:forKey:/ didChange:valuesAtIndexes:forKey: has otherwise been invoked.

It documents that "the key-value-coding-compliant array mutation methods" generate change notifications of one of those kinds. Further, it makes clear, by implication, that KVO does this by hooking into those methods when a property is being observed and invoking will/ didChange:valuesAtIndexes:forKey: within its overrides.


Cheers,
Ken
