This lecture discusses the value of finding and incorporating third party libraries and frameworks into your iOS app. Why re-invent the wheel when you can developer a much better iOS app with less work? We mention a number of commonly used 3rd party iOS frameworks, and also provide short tutorial on using CocoaPods - the de facto standard for managing dependencies in iOS projects. This lecture is part of a course intended to be an intensive and very compressed deep dive into iOS development in Swift. Visit the course web page to get copies of the course outline, lecture notes, sample code, etc. Course website: http://www.themobilemontage.com/2015/05/12/ios-bootcamp-learning-to-create-awesome-apps-on-ios-using-swift/

- 14. WHY A DEPENDENCY MGR? • Why not just manually download library/framework and add to your project? • library code is stored in each project you use it, wasting space. • No global catalog of available libraries that you can search.. • Difficult to update libraries to a new version, especially if several libraries need to be updated together. • You will be tempted to modify the code, making future updates difficult!
