Do iOS and OSX use the same Objective-C runtime?
The question is in the title. I have to write about the iOS runtime environment and was wondering if it uses the same runtime environment as OS X?

The Objective-C 2.0 runtime library ("modern runtime") is used by iOS Apps and all 64 bit Mac OS X Apps. All other applications use "legacy" ObjC runtime (32 bit Mac OS X Apps). The concrete implementation is slightly different for iOS and Mac OS X, of course.
