Not working for Mac OS X

[GJNilsen]

When I try to build it for Mac OS X, Im getting the following error:
libUnirest.a:4:7: Source file is not valid UTF-8
The reason is the library was set up for iOS, so just changing the SDK from iOS to OS X did not work. Would be nice to have a version of this for Mac OS X as well.

@thibaultcha do you know a way to fix this?

You can't compile a project for both iOS and Mac OS. We would need a shared code base but two projects, one compiling for iOS (ARM) and one for Mac (Intel). I never did this yet but we can try.

I think you might be fine setting up two build targets within a single project, rather than separate projects.

As a data point, and at least for the subset of code I'm using, I've been running unirest on OS X successfully in a test harness for a project. Unirest runs out the box using a tweak to the podspec and a very standard podfile.

I just set up a new target build to the project under Mac OS, works great. We also need to update the test suite to XCTest since OCUnit is deprecated.

When i use it on OS X, i got the error message like this

➜  TestApi  pod install
Analyzing dependencies
[!] The platform of the target `Pods` (OS X 10.9) is not compatible with `Unirest (1.1.3)` which has a minimum requirement of iOS 5.0.

can it only use on platform ios ? what's the matter,3Q...

@wikimo Currently the pod is iOS only, as the error says, unless changes are made for this issue.

@thibaultcha updates on this?
