基于多个答案，我创建了一个可以使用的类别，结合@iDevAmit和@user238824答案。

具体来说，它是按照以下顺序进行的

检查null/nil 检查if字符串是否为空使用它的长度计数。 检查字符串是否为空白。

头

//
//  NSString+Empty.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN

@interface NSString (Empty)
- (BOOL)isEmptyOrWhiteSpacesOrNil;
@end

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END

实现

//
//  NSString+Empty.m

#import "NSString+Empty.h"

@implementation NSString (Empty)

- (BOOL) isWhitespace{
      return ([[self stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]]length] == 0);
  }

- (BOOL)isEmptyOrWhiteSpacesOrNil {
     if(self == nil || [self isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]] || self.length==0 || [self isWhitespace] == YES) {
            return YES;
       }
      return NO;
  }

@end

用法: 当然，如果字符串为空，函数将永远不会被触发。第一种情况是为了增加安全保障。我建议在尝试使用此方法之前检查可空性。

if (myString) {
  if [myString isEmptyOrWhiteSpacesOrNil] {
     // String is empty
  }
} else {
// String is null
}

if( [txtMobile.text length] == 0 )
{
    [Utility showAlertWithTitleAndMessage: AMLocalizedString(@"Invalid Mobile No",nil) message: AMLocalizedString(@"Enter valid Mobile Number",nil)];
}

非常有用的帖子，添加NSDictionary支持以及一个小的变化

static inline BOOL isEmpty(id thing) {
    return thing == nil
    || [thing isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]]
    || ([thing respondsToSelector:@selector(length)]
        && ![thing respondsToSelector:@selector(count)]
        && [(NSData *)thing length] == 0)
    || ([thing respondsToSelector:@selector(count)]
        && [thing count] == 0);
}

//Different validations:
 NSString * inputStr = @"Hey ";

//Check length
[inputStr length]

//Coming from server, check if its NSNull
[inputStr isEqual:[NSNull null]] ? nil : inputStr

//For validation in allowed character set
-(BOOL)validateString:(NSString*)inputStr
{
    BOOL isValid = NO;
    if(!([inputStr length]>0))
    {
        return isValid;

    }

    NSMutableCharacterSet *allowedSet = [NSMutableCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@".-"];
    [allowedSet formUnionWithCharacterSet:[NSCharacterSet decimalDigitCharacterSet]];
    if ([inputStr rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[allowedSet invertedSet]].location == NSNotFound)
    {
        // contains only decimal set and '-' and '.'

    }
    else
    {
        // invalid
        isValid = NO;

    }
    return isValid;
}
