Add selector for optional method from protocol

[pronebird]

Is it possible to add instance method that may not be defined on target class but defined in protocol as optional?

Currently -aspect_hookSelector reports that it cannot find selector.

p.s.: Adding empty method implementation solves the problem.

Hmmm, could be done with an additional option to kill the check and add some logic to not call super. Would confuse people thought that would dynamically add methods after a delegate has been set, since most of UIKit caches what selectors are available at delegate set time.

It should be safe to add method on class-level as opposed to swizzling on instance level. How do you even call that kind of swizzling? Still instance method in the end right?

[MyTestsDetailController aspect_hookSelector:@selector(magicMethodDefinedInProtocolButNotImplementedAtAll:) ...]

as opposed to:

auto myViewController = [[MyTestsDetailController alloc] init];
[myViewController aspect_hookSelector:...]

As a workaround I've defined an empty method implementation on my view controller.
