If you want to give additional message with the deprecation flag, you can use following flags.

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *catName
                    __deprecated_msg("use name instead.");

//  -- Or -- 
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *catName
                    DEPRECATED_MSG_ATTRIBUTE("use name instead.");

//  -- Or -- 
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *catName
                    __attribute__((deprecated("use name instead.")));

Using above mentioned flags, you can tell why you are deprecating or what is the method developer should use in future.
