CocoaPods Cheatsheet

Overview

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for iOS and macOS projects.

Installation

sudo gem install cocoapods

Basic Usage

1. Create a new Xcode project or navigate to an existing one.
2. Create a new file called Podfile in the root directory of your project.
3. Add your desired dependencies to the Podfile.
4. Install the dependencies by running pod install in the terminal.

Podfile Syntax

# Uncomment the following line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'MyApp' do
  # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  # Pods for MyApp
  pod 'Alamofire'
  pod 'SwiftyJSON', '~> 4.0'
end

• The platform keyword sets the minimum iOS or macOS version for your project.
• The target keyword specifies the Xcode target to install the dependencies for.
• The use_frameworks! keyword enables dynamic framework integration.
• The pod keyword specifies the name of the dependency and an optional version specifier.

Commands

• pod install: Installs the dependencies specified in the Podfile.
• pod update: Updates the dependencies to their latest versions.
• pod search: Searches the CocoaPods repository for a specific dependency.
• pod init: Creates a new Podfile in the current directory.
