CocoaPods for Xcode

This project is deprecated in favor of Editor Extensions support in Xcode 8+.

Manage your dependencies, with minimal command line hack-fu.

Features

• Downloads and integrates CocoaPods listed in a project's Podfile
• Creates podspecs from a template
• Shows command output in the window console
• Installs documentation (from CocoaDocs) for the CocoaPods used in the open Xcode workspace
• Supports using a custom path to your CocoaPods installation
• Supports $GEM_HOME expansion, $GEM_PATH expansion, and rvm environments
• Offline mode

Prerequisites

• Xcode 5+
• CocoaPods 0.22.1+, by default expected to be installed to /usr/bin/pod. The installation path can be changed by editing GEM PATH in the Product > CocoaPods menu. More details can be found in the Usage section.

Install

Install via Alcatraz

OR

Clone and build the project, then restart Xcode.

Uninstall

Uninstall via Alcatraz

OR

Run rm -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/CocoaPods.xcplugin/

Usage

Offline mode

In some situations, such as working under poor network conditions, you may want to run pod in offline mode. Toggle Product > CocoaPods > Update and Install Offline Only to enable offline mode.

Custom GEM_PATH setting

You can specify a custom GEM_PATH in the Product > Cocoapods menu. The default is /usr/bin and removing a custom value will restore the default. Both $GEM_HOME and $GEM_PATH are supported, along with rvm environments. That means the following settings are valid:

  /usr/bin
  /usr/local/bin
  $GEM_HOME/bin
  ${GEM_HOME}/bin
  $GEM_PATH/bin
  ${GEM_PATH}/bin
  /SOME_PARENT/$GEM_HOME/bin
  /SOME_PARENT/$GEM_PATH/bin

When specifying $GEM_PATH each path component will be expanded during command resolution. That means the following:

  $GEM_PATH/bin
  expands to...
  /Users/jappleseed/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@my_gemset:/Users/jappleseed/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@global
  expands to...
  /Users/jappleseed/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@my_gemset/bin:/Users/jappleseed/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@global/bin

During command resolution, each path will be tested (in order) so that the first match is used.

Path expansion and command resolution occurs each time before a command is run. For an rvm environment, .ruby-version and .ruby-gemset (in the root project directory) can dynamically alter the environment and Cocoapods supports this behavior.

Using GEM_PATH with rvm

Under most circumstances in an rvm environment the following custom GEM_PATH setting should be used:

NOTE: Behind the scenes, the /bin path element will be converted to /wrapper for rvm. If .rvm is not found in the expanded path, the /bin path element will remain unmodified.
