Here are few new frameworks added in iOS 5.
1.Core Image Framework - I thank Apple for bringing in this framework.. with this framework come huge possibility of image processing which is possible on iPhone OS 5 without having to deal with OPENGL now unless it is some something heavy ! Till now there was only Quartz available on iOS... but arrival of CoreImage as well its great !
There is face feature detection available as well in CoreImage. LINK
2.Twitter Framework- Thats convenient ! Knowing twitter has become a part of everyone's life.. and its expected to be there in every app if you want to share things in your app with world out there ! So great work.
3.Accounts Framework - It can be used to manage account authentication process in your application. It is used in with Twitter framework as well.
4.Generic Security Services Framework.
5. GLKit - Now this is a great framework which has been included to ease the use of OPENGL ES in the application by developers. It looks great with the options available to get it started easily.
The GLKView and GLKViewController - view related classes which let you draw !
The GLKTextureLoader class provides image conversion and loading routines to your application, allowing it to automatically load texture images into your context.
The GLKit framework provides implementations of vector, matrix, and quaternions as well as a matrix stack operation to provides the same functionality found in OpenGL ES 1.1.
The GLKBaseEffect, GLKSkyboxEffect, and GLKReflectionMapEffect classes provide precreated, configurable graphics shaders that implement commonly used graphics operations.
