There is no private or protected methods concept in Objective-C. I think it is related to the architecture of invoking method in Objective-C. Each method is invoked like [self method] style or [self performSelector:@selector(method)]. Internally, Objective-C runtime resolves method implementation by searching method name. This architecture gives flexibility to call method and also allows to have “category” but it is hard to support private method.

In Objective-C, a selector’s signature consists of:
- The name of the method (in this case it would be ‘myTest’) (required)
- A ‘;’ (colon) following the method name if the method has an input.
- A name and ‘:’ for every additional input.
