Common Crypto.

Is

CCCrypt
supported on iOS?

Yes.

It looks like it is no longer documented?

Indeed. This is a bug in the documentation rather than a change of policy. The new documentation system needs some help dealing with low-level APIs like this one. I’d appreciate you filing a bug against the docs for this. Please post your bug number, just for the record.

In the meantime, I recommend you work from the doc comments in

<CommonCrypto/CommonCryptor.h>
or the examples in the CryptoCompatibility sample code.
