That one's not mine, that's Apple's. The original poster asked what the longest one was, that's the longest Cocoa one I've come across. I didn't use it!

With that many arguments, i'd make a dictionary and pass only that dictionary. I understand your choice for not doing so however.

This still the longest one or has Apple outdone themselves since? 11 args, you really wouldn't want much more than this.

I don't know if there's an upper limit, but I don't recall ever writing a method with more than 5 or 6 arguments. When I feel inclined to do otherwise, it typically means that there's a flaw in my design.
