Animations (UIView, etc)
I'd like to see some animation stuff.
Possible Examples:

- Overlays (like SVProgressHUD)

Grand Central Dispatch
You should do a screencast about Grand Central Dispatch since it was introduced into iOS/OSX in August 2010. It's definitely a lot powerful and useful and a bit hard to understand so It would be amazing you get to us a screencast about that.
114 votesI think this is sufficiently covered, as I’ve used it in a bunch of screencasts. If there’s anything more advanced you’d like to see covered, let me know.

In App Purchases
Whilst the API for In App Purchases is well documented, setting it up is not so clear. I would appreciate a walk through of setting it up in itunesconnect and getting a basic demo working with custom server side code.

App Authentication with AFNetworking
There are a lot of tutorials available on AFNetworking, however I haven't been able to find one that shows how to authenticate users. I think that such an important element of an app would have more attention but it seems that is not the case. So I would def pay for a tutorial on best practices for how to do this with a Rails backend if possible please ;)

I would like to see a screencast on using Core Data. Discussing the good and the bad!
36 votesThe latest video covers the basics of Core Data. You can find it here: http://nsscreencast.com/episodes/11-core-data-basics
I’ll be covering this in more detail, just have to fit each theme into a small screencast :)
Hope you enjoy!

Work with UIViewController Containment
Starting from iOS 5, UIKit provides UIViewController Containment. Since there are few tutorials on the subject, I would like to see such a tutorial.

Using parse.com as backend for data
I'd like to see a screencast on using parse.com as a data backend, e.g. using parse's user authentication or maybe using different types of server-data in a UITableView.
33 votesSee episode 30 where I create a simple photo sharing application with Parse.

Framework UI Customization
I'd like to see a screencast on how to customize the standard UIKit Framework UI widgets, e.g. creating a custom UITabBar (like FourSquare for example).
33 votesThe last 2 episodes covered Foursquare’s custom navigation bar & tab bar design. Let me know what you think!

Using UISearchDisplayController
With and without storyboard. Different cases: all in one view controller and splitting to two view controllers.
Thanks.

Provide an annual subscription option
I think $9/mo is fair for content posted weekly... but I'm trying to minimize the slew of monthly subscription fees for various web-based products and services. The services themselves are worthwhile, but I'd prefer an option to pay annually and then forget about it for 11-ish months. Then I can decide whether to renew.
Even if you make it a "pay annually, get a free month" option at $99 - you'd still make more than currently (over the course of a year) than with the "1/2 off for 3 months", which is going to be a few dollars less.
I…

OAuth flow using AFNetworking
This is one of the topic which aren't covered well at all. It would be very useful a screencast about OAuth authentication using AFNetworking, for example against Twitter (OAuth v1.0a) and Instagram/Facebook (OAuth v2.0). Maybe you can use AFOAuth1Client and AFOAuth2Client but they haven't got so much documentation. Thank you so much for your help and availability.
17 votesEpisode 74 covers OAuth2. I did not use AFOAuth2Client, as it seemed unnecessary for the specific example app.

practical advice on unit testing
Some videos about unit testing techniques and tools would be great. There is an incredible lack of info on this topic that easily found on the internet.
13 votesEpisode 14 is a good start here
-
KVO / KVC
I think KVO / KVC would be great intro for people. You could throw in NSNotificationManager to show how some of the observer things as well.
12 votesI just released episode 16 on KVO. There’s much more to cover on this topic (including when it is best used) but this is a good foundation to start with.
Thanks for the suggestion, Scott!
