Review on CocoaPods by Justin Peck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

CocoaPods - Easy dependency manager (mac/ios)

I like how easy it was to install with Xcode, you can even do so from command line! The only thing I dislike about cocoapods is that its not available in windows. If there are any updates or bug fixes etc., they tend to be released very quickly after apple releases them through their developer portal. It's great that we have an alternative package management tool. You don't need to rely solely on xCode - which isn't always reliable. We've been using Cocoapods at work for our iOS apps and now also our MacOSX app as well. It makes managing dependencies so much easier, especially when dealing with third party libraries.

Pros
  • Ease of use (i'm sure this applies across all things cocoa pod related)It works really fast compared other dependency managersI love being able get up & running quick if i already know what library/dependency im going into next :)Its simpleTo keep track off my own local repositories too..etc.which seems rare among tools suchas theseCoupled wth SwiftPM
Cons
  • I don't really have any dislikes about this, everything is just fine
