Cocoapods is a dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects that allows developers to specify libraries and frameworks for their Xcode projects. It has over 10,000 pre-built libraries available and allows specifying library versions to avoid breaking changes. Cocoapods is installed via Ruby and generates a Podfile to define project dependencies which are then installed to a generated Xcode workspace. Common commands include pod init, pod install, pod update and pod search.

- 1. COCOAPODS Ian Kunneke William Kunneke – Technical Ninjas
- 2. WHAT IS COCOAPODS According to Cocoapods.org: The dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects Over ten thousand libraries and can help you scale your projects elegantly Built with Ruby and is installable with the default Ruby available on OS X Built for XCode You can specify a specific version of a library so that breaking changes don’t break you
- 3. COCOAPODS COMPARED TO Gradle build scripts - .gradle files auto generated in Android Studio. You don’t have to know much about Gradle to use it since Android Studio does the heavy lifting for you. Maven – Great for Java projects, especially large scale cross team projects. Cocoapods – De facto standard for iOS. Well supported community,
- 4. SETTING UP COCOAPODS You will need Git set up You will need Xcode command line tools set up No need to brew it, just: sudo gem install cocoapods pod setup (one time set up) Create an Xcode project and change into the project root directory (where your ProjectName.xcodeproj file is placed)
- 5. SETTING UP COCOAPODS From the project root directory: You can issue a pod init and a default podfile will be created. Or touch podfile open –e podfile Add some dependencies: pod 'AFNetworking', '0.9.1’ Save the podfile pod install
- 6. SETTING UP COCOAPODS Open the workspace – not the project
- 7. POD COMMANDS pod help – get a detailed list of pod commands pod init - generate a Podfile for the current directory. pod install - install project dependencies to Podfile.lock versions pod search <search term> - search for an existing pod to use pod update - update outdated project dependencies and create new Podfile.lock
- 8. PRE-BUILT PODS Large list of pre-built pods available from cocoapods.org Search capability and example code Can also use the pod search <search term> as previously mentioned
