CocoaPods is an
application level dependency manager for Objective-C, Swift and any other languages that run on the Objective-C runtime, such as RubyMotion,[2] that provides a standard format for managing external libraries. It was developed by Eloy Durán and Fabio Pelosin, who continue to manage the project with the help and contributions of many others.[3] They began development in August 2011[4] and made the first public release[5] on September 1, 2011. CocoaPods is strongly inspired by a combination of the Ruby projects RubyGems and Bundler
.
CocoaPods focuses on source-based distribution of third party code and automatic integration into Xcode projects.
CocoaPods runs from the
Git repository and hosted on GitHub.[8] CocoaPods dependency resolution system is powered by Molinillo
which is also used by other large projects such as Bundler, RubyGems, and Berkshelf.
Example
The following Podfile example installs the AFNetworking and CocoaLumberjack libraries:
platform :ios
pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.0.0'
pod 'CocoaLumberjack', '< 1.7'
target 'MyApp'
