CocoaPods安装及简单使用

Install

CocoaPods is distributed as a ruby gem, installing it is as easy as running the following commands in the terminal:

$ [sudo] gem install cocoapods
$ pod setup

Now that you’ve got CocoaPods installed it’s time to get started.

Get started

Search for pods by name and description.

Then list the dependencies in a text file named Podfile in your Xcode project directory:

$ edit Podfile
platform :ios
pod 'JSONKit',       '~> 1.4'
pod 'Reachability',  '~> 3.0.0'

Now you can install the dependencies in your project:

$ pod install

Make sure to always open the Xcode workspace instead of the project file when building your project:

$ open App.xcworkspace

Now you can import your dependencies e.g.:

#import <Reachability.h>

How to create a pod

Sometimes CocoaPods doesn’t yet have a pod for one of your dependencies. Fortunately, creating a pod is pretty easy:

$ pod spec create Peanut
$ edit Peanut.podspec
$ pod spec lint Peanut.podspec

When you’re done, please create a ticket and upload the pod. You can also fork theCocoaPods specs GitHub repository and send a pull request. We really love contributions!
