Tutorial

Quickly create pod-template

Run the following command:

pod lib create '<Your Pod Name>'

It will actually help give you a jump start by providing a standard directory structure with a bunch of boilerplate files necessary for a high quality pod. pod lib create isn't the only way to create your pod, but it is the easiest.

Create your podspec file manually

Ｒun the following command:

pod spec create '<Your Pod Name>'

A Podspec file, or Spec, describes a version of a Pod library. It includes details about where the source files are located, which files to use, the build settings to apply, dependencies, frameworks used and other general metadata such as the name, version and description for the Pod.

Podspec information

• version

A Podspec is essentially a snapshot in time of your CocoaPod as denoted by a version number. When you update a pod, you will also need to update the Podspec’s version. You can change it to any version that is suitable to you but make sure that it is the same version as your Git tag version.

For example:

s.version = "1.0.0"

• source

Replace this URL with the Git download URL from the “Create your podspec file manually” section of the 'Podspec' you created above. In general, it’s best to use either a http: or https: URL to make it easier for other users to consume. You can use an SSH URL if you want, but you’ll need to make sure that everyone on your team — and whoever else needs access to the CocoaPod — already has their public/private key pairs setup with your Git host.

For example:

s.source = { :git => "https://github.com/powerwolf543/PrivatePodExample.git", :tag => s.version }

• source_files

Here you specify the public source files based on file extensions; in this case, you specify .swift as the extension.

For example:

s.source_files = "PrivatePod/*.swift"

• frameworks

If your pod is depending on other frameworks such as UIKit, Foundation, you can specify frameworks as the code below.

s.frameworks= 'Foundation', 'UIKit'

• resources

You also can specify resources such as storyboard, xib, image, and xcassets. When you set this option, it will add resources in Copy Bundle Resources of Build Phases.

s.resources = ["PrivatePod/*.xcassets", "PrivatePod/xib/*.xib"]

• subspec

Subspecs are a way of chopping up the functionality of a Podspec, allowing people to install a subset of your library.

Pod::Spec.new do |s|

  s.name = "PrivatePod"
  s.source = { :git => "https://github.com/powerwolf543/PrivatePodExample.git", :tag => s.version }

  s.subspec 'SubPrivatePod' do |sp|
    sp.source_files  = 'PrivatePod/SubPrivatePod/*.swift'
  end
end

With the above example a Podfile using pod 'PrivatePod' results in the inclusion of the whole library, while pod 'PrivatePod/SubPrivatePod' can be used if you are interested only in the SubPrivatePod specific parts.

Customize BuildSetting

You can write Ruby in the podfile that can help you to configure the build setting for each pods.

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        if target.name == 'PrivatePod'
            target.build_configurations.each do |config|
                config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '4.2'
                config.build_settings['SWIFT_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL'] = '-Onone'                
            end
        end
    end
end

Example

The example project is under the Example folder. If you are the first time to build this project you need to run pod install from the Example directory first.

Installation

CocoaPods

To integrate PrivatePod into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do
pod 'PrivatePod', :git => 'https://github.com/powerwolf543/PrivatePod.git'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Import module

import PrivatePod

Requirements

• iOS 10+
• Xcode 10+
• Swift 4.2+
• CocoaPods 1.5.3+
