I had the same problems with AppKiDo and eventually went back to
Apple's online docs too. They're definitely the most up-to-date
version you're going to find anywhere, and when you've got your own
way of using it, it works really well. I tend to keep the main
framework reference pages open and then middle-click the classname I'm
interested in so that it opens in a new tab and I can quickly jump
back and forth between the class listing and others I might be
interested in...but that's just me.
FWIW, I initially came from a Java background and something I still
really miss from the JavaDoc style API documentation is the group of
sections entitled "Methods inherited from XYZ". Those sections make
it incredibly easy to see at a glance what methods/messages your class
supports without having to load the docs for each of the superclasses
in turn until you find (or don't as the case may be!) what you're
looking for.

I used to have the same issue, and AppKiDo was recommended to me as
well. But it's not built into Xcode like Apple's stuff, and it
doesn't recieve doc changes instantly. Plus, it takes a little while
to load which is always annoying. I went back to Apple's stuff and
found that after awhile it worked fine. Class hierarchy-wise, it's
just a matter of learning it and using common sense. Also, at the
top of each class doc there's a list of superclasses, in order. So I
would stick with Apple for a little longer and see if you can't
learn to work with it.
Good luck, Nate

I want to really get Cocoa and iphone methods etc... so I find myself
in the Docs every other minute. But I find that it's kinda wonky to
see where things subclass from or what goes with what as examples. I
know there was some sort of guide to navigating it and learning from
it better.
Do you know of such a resource? Tried google. Still trying. Good
stuff, but nothing concrete yet.
