How can I pick UIColor color codes layers from Photoshop layers?

Photoshop currently doesn't offer an option to pick UIColor color codes (only HEX #112233, #123, RGB(1,2,3), RGBa(1,2,3,4), CMYK, HSB(1,2,3), and HSBA(1,2,3,4). But there is a way how to do it with Avocode - see below.

Need to export UIColor color codes without Photoshop? Try Avocode

No need to buy or install Photoshop. Open layered Photoshop designs on Mac, Windows, Linux or in the browser with Avocode and pick color codes pixel precisely, inspect and much more.

Start by switching to the Color picker in the toolbar. Then click on any part of the design. If you want to be pixel perfect, hold your mouse and a mangifying glass will show up so you can position your selection.

When you've chosen the precisely pixel you're picking the color from, release the mouse button and the UIColor code value will be copied to your clipboard.

NOTE: UIColor color code is set by default for iOS projects. If you want to change the color code format, go to Design settings/Interface. There you can choose between HEX, HEX8, HSLa, UIColor and RGBa.
