I think what you're looking for are called class extensions. You would declare the property read-only in the header:

@interface MyClass : NSObject {
}

@property (readonly, assign) NSInteger myInteger;

@end

Then redeclare in your class extension in the implementation file:

@interface MyClass ()

@property (readwrite, assign) NSInteger myInteger;

@end


@implementation MyClass

@end
