I'm not sure if there is. Figuring out unused methods and classes is much harder than you might think because of the dynamic nature of Objective C. You can invoke methods at runtime using selectors, and you can create selectors using strings, so the compiler can't tell for sure when a method won't be used, or even when a class does not get invoked.

I also am not aware of any tools that identify unused images, for similar reasons. You can build filenames through code and then use those names to load images.

it seems there is no way to do this.

I downloaded a MAS app called Slender that claims to be able to help out with image management, including showing unused images. I haven't had a reason to run it yet, so can't speak to how accurately it does so.
