Twitter. My technique was to look up the developers of all my favorite apps on Twitter, follow them... and then whenever they RT someone saying something interesting, follow that person too. In a very short time you'll have a comprehensive feed of interesting developers talking shop.
A few accounts to get you started:
- @mattt : https://twitter.com/mattt
- @NSHipster : https://twitter.com/NSHipster
- @justin : https://twitter.com/justin
- @gruber : https://twitter.com/gruber
- @marcoarment : https://twitter.com/marcoarment
- @dimsumthinking : https://twitter.com/dimsumthinking
- @iOSDevWeekly : https://twitter.com/iOSDevWeekly
- @objcio : https://twitter.com/objcio
- And then a shameless plug for myself @hodgesmr ;) - https://twitter.com/hodgesmr
Might as well add a few names: @danielpunkass, @nicklockwood, @vadimshpakovski, @Padraig, @soffes, @corydmc, and all the CocoaPods people: @alloy, @orta, @hanke, @micheletitolo, @kylefuller
+1 for Twitter, and the above names are all great suggestions. I also found this list helpful: https://twitter.com/emityme/ios-inspiration

I always see these kinds of posts, and since I've been doing iOS dev for awhile, I wanted to gather as many iOS dev resources in one place as I could. So I've created this site for that:
http://program247365.github.io/iosengineerlist/
Many more resources to come. Lot of great stuff out there for iOS devs. I welcome contributions (project is a jekyll site on github).

Along with what everyone else has said, I would also add in iOS Goodies:

I recently discovered a HN-esque board called MobileNews - It's my go-to source for mobile app news, design resources, ASO content, etc.

While we're here, I don't suppose someone who knows the scene could recommend an article or post that demos how to hook up a basic ios7 app to a general API (likely REST)?
A goto post would be really useful.

@tapfame writes a weekly newsletter - check them out.
I think this thread shows HN is the best source ;)
