Objective C reflection for iOS

Question

I would like to be able to use reflection in classes in Objective-C to determine which properties are available at runtime.

I'm doing something similar for classes right now using

NSString *str = NSStringFromClass([object class]); 

What I would like to do is use this result to return to the class and see what properties are available, as well as the type of these properties.

Perhaps this will help:

You can get a list of properties in a class using class_copyPropertyList

 objc_property_t * class_copyPropertyList(Class cls, unsigned int *outCount) 

and then from each property you can get the property name using the property_getName function and property_getName attributes using the property_getAttributes function (if you need to filter read and write properties).
