Description
Binaries created from Objective-C sources can be decompiled as any other binaries. However, the output quality is questionable. We never really looked into it.
Find some real-world binary created from Objective-C, decompile it, analyze the output quality, if there are some Objective-C specifics, design and implement Objective-C analyses.

Research direction
Start by selecting a real-world binary created from Objective-C sources and decompile it with RetDec. Analyze the output for Objective-C-specific issues, then define and implement appropriate analyses; done means the decompiled output quality is improved for the examined cases.
