Thank you all for your replies and for the clarification on my question. I have tweaked the subject of this email to hopefully avoid future confusion.
That is disappointing that we can't seem to get the class of the returned object. It seems like a major omission. I wonder, then, how the _shortMethodDescription private method works and whether it uses some helpful public methods: @interface NSObject (Private) - (NSString *) _shortMethodDescription; @end NSString *fullMethodList = [[self class] _shortMethodDescription]; which gives the full header breakdown of methods with parameters and return classes.
