tauri v2 ios: How to use CocoaPods in Tauri iOS project to integrate third-party libraries?

[jlvihv]

I'm trying to integrate the ByteDance Ads SDK into my Tauri iOS project. The SDK requires CocoaPods for installation, but I'm not sure how to properly set this up in a Tauri project structure.

Current situation:

• I have a working Tauri iOS project
• The SDK's official integration guide requires using CocoaPods
• I can't find documentation about using CocoaPods in Tauri iOS projects

What I've tried:

1. Manually adding the SDK files (got compilation errors)
2. Looking for Tauri documentation about CocoaPods integration (found nothing specific)
3. Using pod install directly:
   • Successfully generated Pods folder
   • But then got error: Cannot find Pods-<project name>_iOS when running the project
   • This error seems to indicate that Tauri's build system is incompatible with the project structure generated by CocoaPods

Questions:

1. Is it possible to use CocoaPods in a Tauri iOS project?
2. If yes, how should we set up the Podfile and where should it be placed?
3. How to resolve the Pods-<project name>_iOS not found error?
4. What's the recommended way to integrate third-party iOS libraries in Tauri?

Any guidance or documentation references would be greatly appreciated.
