CocoaPods

What is CocoaPods?

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects. It simplifies the process of integrating third-party libraries and frameworks into your projects, making it easier to manage dependencies and keep your projects up-to-date.

Key Features

• Simplified Dependency Management: CocoaPods handles the download, installation, and updating of dependencies.
• Swift and Objective-C Support: Works seamlessly with both Swift and Objective-C projects.
• Podfile: Uses a Podfile to define your project's dependencies.
• Automatic Updates: Easily update your dependencies with a single command.
• Large Community & Ecosystem: Access to a vast library of pre-built pods.

Getting Started

Here's a basic example of how to use CocoaPods:

                # Podfile
                platform :ios, "13.0" # Or your target iOS version

                target 'MyProject' do
                    use_frameworks!

                    pod 'Alamofire', '~> 5.0'
                end
            

To install the Alamofire pod, run the following command in your terminal:

            pod install
