This document provides information on CocoaPods, including how to install CocoaPods, create a Podfile to specify dependencies, run pod install to install dependencies, open the Xcode workspace, create Pod specs to publish libraries, and examples of Pod specs for the UrbanAirship library.

1. CooCoo
For
CocoaPods

2. What are CocoaPods
● Library dependency management system for
Objective C Applications
● Ruby Based
● Uses spec files to tell what code to download
and use

3. Installing pods
● sudo gem install cocoapods
● pod setup

4. Create Podfile
● vim Podfile platform :ios
pod 'RestKit', '0.10.3'
target :test do
link_with 'AppnameTests'
pod 'Kiwi', '1.1.0'
end

5. Run the Install
● pod install
● Open the Workspace created
– open appName.xcworkspace
● Compile the project

6. Creating a Spec
● pod spec create <name or git url>
● Edit spec file
● pod spec lint <name of spec file>
● Copy spec to
~/.cocoapods/master/<AppName>/<versionNo>
● Fork github.com/cocoapods/specs and add
folder as you did on the last step
● Submit a pull request

7. Original UrbanAirship Spec
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = 'UrbanAirship-iOS-SDK'
s.version = '1.3.3'
s.license = 'BSD'
s.platform = :ios
s.summary = 'A simple way to integrate Urban Airship services into your iOS applications.'
s.homepage = 'https://github.com/urbanairship/ios-library'
s.author = { 'Urban Airship' => 'support@urbanairship.com' }
s.source = { :git => 'https://github.com/urbanairship/ios-library.git', :tag => 'v1.3.3' }
# Airship ships both UA-prefixed ASI and SBJson, as well as un-prefixed
# versions that are no longer used in the .xcodeproj.
files = FileList['Airship/**/*.{h,m,c}']
files.exclude(//asi-http-request//)
files.exclude(//json-framework//)
files.exclude(//google-toolbox-for-mac//)
s.source_files = files
s.libraries = 'z', 'sqlite3.0'
s.frameworks = 'CFNetwork', 'CoreGraphics', 'Foundation', 'MobileCoreServices',
'Security', 'SystemConfiguration', 'UIKit', 'CoreTelephony',
'StoreKit', 'CoreLocation'
end

8. Modified UrbanAirship Spec
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = 'UrbanAirship-iOS-SDK'
s.version = '1.3.3.1'
s.license = 'BSD'
s.platform = :ios
s.summary = 'A simple way to integrate Urban Airship services into your iOS applications.'
s.homepage = 'https://github.com/urbanairship/ios-library'
s.author = { 'Urban Airship' => 'support@urbanairship.com' }
s.source = { :git => 'https://github.com/urbanairship/ios-library.git', :tag => 'v1.3.3' }
# Airship ships both UA-prefixed ASI and SBJson, as well as un-prefixed
# versions that are no longer used in the .xcodeproj.
files = FileList['Airship/**/*.{h,m,c}']
files = files.exclude(//asi-http-request//)
files = files.exclude(//json-framework//)
files = files.exclude(//google-toolbox-for-mac//)
files = files.exclude(//Reachability.*/)
files = files.exclude(/miniunz.c/)
s.source_files = files
s.libraries = 'z', 'sqlite3.0'
s.frameworks = 'CFNetwork', 'CoreGraphics', 'Foundation', 'MobileCoreServices',
'Security', 'SystemConfiguration', 'UIKit', 'CoreTelephony',
'StoreKit', 'CoreLocation', 'MessageUI', 'MapKit'
s.dependency 'Reachability'
end
