  1. Copy & Paste 1.Copy & Paste files 2.Add other linker

    flags 3.Add ARC flags 4.Add frameworks 5.Add any other missing build settings 6.Add resources 7.Finally, use the component 4
  2. Copy & Paste Issues 5 • Issues with duplicate symbols

    • Really hard to manage versions • Missing other linker flags and build settings • Missing resources
  3. Submodules • Issues with duplicate symbols • Somewhat easier to

    manage versions (if they’re properly tagged) • Other linker flags • And other build settings • Resources 6
  4. Submodules 1.Add submodule (and check it out) 2.Add source to

    project 3.Add ARC flags 4.Add frameworks 5.Add other linker flags 6.Add any other missing build settings 7.Fix duplicate symbols 8.Add resources 9.Finally, use the component 7
  5. Cocoapods goals 12 • Make working with dependencies simple. •

    Improve library discoverability and engagement by providing an ecosystem that facilitates this.
  6. Cocoapods advantages • Automatically handle source code and static libraries

    • Automatically handle ARC • Automatically handle frameworks • Automatically handle builds settings • Automatically handle resources 13
  7. How do Cocoapods work? • Pod - single definition of

    a component • Podfile - list of dependencies • Dependencies use semantic versioning • Resolving dependencies lists all your dependencies and their dependencies • Dependencies definitions are a Github repository 17 <major>.<minor>.<patch> eg 1.2.5
  8. What happens when I install pods? • Resolve dependencies from

    Podfile • Take an .xcodeproj as a start • Generate .xcconfing files and attaches them to your project • Generate another .xcoproject with static library from defined dependencies 18
  9. What happens when I install pods? • Generate an .xcworkspace

    with your project and generated .xcodeproject • Add a dependency on the generated project results to your targets • Lock used versions in Podfile.lock 19
  10. pod install • When there is no Podfile.lock - will

    use latest version or version defined in Podfile • When there is a Podfile.lock - will use version from Podfile.lock or version defined in Podfile 21
  11. pod update • Ignored Podfile.lock • Will work as ‘pod

    install’ without a Podfile.lock 22
  12. Podfile • Defines platform • Defines project (optional) • Defines

    dependencies • Defines specific version • Multiple targets
  13. platform :ios, '5.0' xcodeproj 'TwitterUserTimeline' ! pod 'STTwitter' pod 'Mantle',

    '1.2' ! target :cedar do link_with 'TwitterUserTimelineSpecs' pod 'Cedar' end Podfile iOS Version
  14. platform :ios, '5.0' xcodeproj 'TwitterUserTimeline' ! pod 'STTwitter' pod 'Mantle',

    '1.2' ! target :cedar do link_with 'TwitterUserTimelineSpecs' pod 'Cedar' end Podfile Project
  15. platform :ios, '5.0' xcodeproj 'TwitterUserTimeline' ! pod 'STTwitter' pod 'Mantle',

    '1.2' ! target :cedar do link_with 'TwitterUserTimelineSpecs' pod 'Cedar' end Podfile Dependencies
  16. platform :ios, '5.0' xcodeproj 'TwitterUserTimeline' ! pod 'STTwitter' pod 'Mantle',

    '1.2' ! target :cedar do link_with 'TwitterUserTimelineSpecs' pod 'Cedar' end Podfile Exclusive target
  17. platform :ios, '5.0' xcodeproj 'TwitterUserTimeline' ! pod 'STTwitter' pod 'Mantle',

    '1.2' ! target :cedar do link_with 'TwitterUserTimelineSpecs' pod 'Cedar' end Podfile Exclusive target name
  18. platform :ios, '5.0' xcodeproj 'TwitterUserTimeline' ! pod 'STTwitter' pod 'Mantle',

    '1.2' ! target :cedar do link_with 'TwitterUserTimelineSpecs' pod 'Cedar' end Podfile Exclusive pod
  19. Cleaning up 31 By wiping whole Cocoapods caches rm -rf

    Pods/ rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/ Git/ rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/ GitHub/ rm -rf ~/.cocoapods/
  20. What you’ll need 35 • Cocoapods installed • Git repo

    for specs definitions • And you’re all set!
  21. Things you’ll have to do first • Add your own

    specs repo to local cocoapods repo list • Push the podspec to your repository 38
