Would there be any way to do this while the program is running e.g. automagic instantiation of runtime defined classes? This is a real help Bob, thank you for writing this up.

Power+Home is a handy user feature, but doesn't do anything for a developer. The intent of this post is to explain how you can capture a view (or any subview's content) so you can use image data within your app. Yes, you’re missing the point.

So you can return an array of class objects themselves, instead of converting them to a string and then converting them back. "We recursively walk the inheritance hierarchy of each class to determine if it's a descendant of Animal." If you assume that the classes all descend from NSObject, then you can use the class method +isSubclassOfClass: to determine if it's a descendant of Animal (since Animal is technically a subclass of itself, you would manually test for equality to Animal to exclude it if that's what you want) I want to note that class objects are objects just like any other objects.

There are a number of valid variants that could be used that leverage this same basic technique. In fact, my actual production usage of this creates a new instance per invocation of the factory method. No particular reason, just illustration.

Curious though why you decided to store an instance of each animal object in the factory instead of just creating a new one each time the animalForKey method was called? Very neat technique!

It's not always obvious how dynamic Objective-C is. It's a lot more powerful than I'd first thought. Nice article Bob! It’s not always obvious how dynamic Objective-C is.
