Question

For my iOS program, I want to set an arbitrary key:value property on a UIView. I couldn’t find any way to do this. Any ideas?

Layers are key-value compliant, according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/400251/264619 (go upvote that answer), so you could set key:values on a view’s layers instead.

UIView *myView = [[UIView alloc] init];
[myView.layer setValue: @"hello" forKey: @"world"];
