Answer 1

In the simplest case, I can declare a class using...

@interface CustomException : NSException
@end
@implementation CustomException
@end

...and the code is very much like what you posted:

   @try{
        @throw [[CustomException alloc] initWithName:@"Custom" reason:@"Testing" userInfo:nil];
    }
    @catch(CustomException *ce){
        NSLog(@"Caught custom exception");
    }
    @catch(NSException *e){
        NSLog(@"Caught generic exception");
    }
