iOS Platform Software development tools (i)-new projects integrate third-party frameworks using the Cocoapods tool

Cocoapods is a collection of thousands of third-party open Source Library development tools, can greatly improve the team project development efficiency, reduce time costs.

So take a look at cocoapods. The use of this tool is reflected in the project.

We immediately use the asihttprequest third-party open source framework to explain how to use the Cocoapods tool in our projects to quickly integrate third-party open source frameworks .

First, create an empty application engineering emptysampleunder the iOS platform.

Then, enter the new project directory in the terminal,

Results.

Under the new project root directory, create a new Podfile file with the VI command . Note that you do not have to add the file suffix name )

VI podfile

Then we'll edit the content in the podfile file as

' 7.0 '  'asihttprequest'~> 1.8.2'

After saving the file, we can see that a podfile file is already in the root of the newly-created Emptysample project.

Next, use the pod Update command in the terminal to update our project, and when the following appears, the project is updated according to the Podfile file. ( note that because the third-party open source framework

need a network download, so there will be a brief stagnation in the middle )

Update all podsanalyzing dependenciesdownloading dependenciesinstalling asihttprequest (1.8. 2 ) Installing reachability (3.1. 1 ) generating Pods projectintegrating client project[!] From "On" Use ' emptysample.xcworkspace '.

So now we need to pay attention to two.

• The pod Update command can only be used when the third-party tool has been installed in our Mac OS environment cocoapods;
• pod Update The command can only be used if the Podfile file is already contained in the terminal's current directory;
• pod Update the function of the command is to update the current project directory and the engineering files in the project catalog according to the contents of the Podfile file . (***.xcodeproj)

When the project is successfully updated, we can open the project again without opening the ***.xcodeproj file, but open the ***.xcworkspace.

Next, let's take a look at how to configure the Cocoapods tool in your environment, as well as engineering updates in projects that already use Cocoapods.
