Cocoapods tutorial

The gist

To use cocoapods, you need to:

1. Install, using

sudo gem install cocoapods
pod setup --verbose

2. In your project folder, create a Podfile:

pod init
open -a Xcode Podfile

(I'm pretty sure you can also just insert a file called "Podfile" (no extension) into the directory...)

3. Edit the podfile (here's the default)

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'MyProject' do
  # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
  
  # Pods for IceCreamShop

end

You can specify and exact version of the pod, recommended for release builds.

pod 'Swiftlint', '1.15.22'

You can specify a greater than version of the pod, recommended for experimental/development builds.

pod 'Swiftlint', '~>1.15.22'

That syntax will allow cocoapods to search for the version of the pod matching '1.15.x'. You could also use '~>1.15' to match the latest version of '1.x'.

4. Every time you add a pod to the podfile, run:

pod install

To update a pod to a newer version, run:

pod update

Final Note

If a framework is not included in the set that Cocoapods automatically recognizes, e.g. a private repo, you can add the source above the pods in the Podfile:
