Adding Pods to an Xcode project
Before you begin
- Check the Specs repository or cocoapods.org to make sure the libraries you would like to use are available.
- Install CocoaPods on your computer.
<Installation
- Create a Podfile, and add your dependencies:
target 'MyApp' do
pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 3.0'
pod 'FBSDKCoreKit', '~> 4.9'
end
- Run
$ pod installin your project directory. - Open
App.xcworkspaceand build.
<Creating a new Xcode project with CocoaPods
To create a new project with CocoaPods, follow these simple steps:
- Create a new project in Xcode as you would normally.
- Open a terminal window, and
$ cdinto your project directory. - Create a Podfile. This can be done by running
$ pod init. - Open your Podfile. The first line should specify the platform and version supported.
platform :ios, '9.0'
- In order to use CocoaPods you need to define the Xcode target to link them to. So for example if you are writing an iOS app, it would be the name of your app. Create a target section by writing
target '$TARGET_NAME' doand anenda few lines after. - Add a CocoaPod by specifying
pod '$PODNAME'on a single line inside your target block.
target 'MyApp' do
pod 'ObjectiveSugar'
end
- Save your Podfile.
- Run
$ pod install - Open the
MyApp.xcworkspacethat was created. This should be the file you use everyday to create your app.
<Integration with an existing workspace
Integrating CocoaPods with an existing workspace requires one extra line in your Podfile. Simply specify the .xcworkspace filename in outside your target blocks like so:
