  Samuel Giddins #3763

0.38.0.beta.1 (2015-06-26)

Highlighted Enhancement That Needs Testing

• De-duplicate Pod Targets: CocoaPods now recognizes when a dependency is used multiple times across different user targets, but needs to be built only once. The targets in Pods.xcodeproj need to be duplicated when one of the following applies:

  • They are used on different platforms.
  • They are used with differents sets of subspecs.
  • They have any dependency which needs to be duplicated.

  You can opt-out of this behavior installation-wise, by setting the following option in your ``~/.cocoapods/config.yaml`:

  deduplicate_targets: false

  Marius Rackwitz #3550

Breaking

• The CocoaPods environment header has been removed.
  Samuel Giddins #2390

• The Installer is passed directly to the pre_install and post_install hooks defined in the Podfile, instead of the previously used Hooks::InstallerRepresentation.
  Marius Rackwitz #3648

• Deprecate the xcconfig attribute in the Podspec DSL, which is replaced by the new attributes pod_target_xcconfig and user_target_xcconfig.
  Marius Rackwitz CocoaPods#3465

Enhancements

• The notice about a new version being available will now include our recommendation of using the latest stable version.
  Hugo Tunius #3667

• New commands pod cache list and pod cache clean allows you to see the contents of the cache and clean it.
  Olivier Halligon #3508

• The download cache will automatically be reset when changing CocoaPods versions.
  Samuel Giddins #3542

• Supports running pre-install hooks in plugins. This happens before the resolver does its work, and offers easy access to the sandbox, podfile and lockfile via a PreInstallHooksContext object. This also renames the post-install hooks from HooksContext to PostInstallHooksContext.
  Orta Therox #3540

• Allow passing additional arguments to pod lib create, which then get passed as-is to the configure scripts.
  Samuel Giddins #2160

• Use -analyzer-disable-all-checks to disable static analyzer for pods with inhibit_warnings enabled (requires Xcode >= 6.1).
  Dieter Komendera #2402

• Cache globbing in PathList to speed up pod install.
  Vincent Isambart #3699

• CocoaPods will validate your podfile and try to identify problems and conflicts in how you've specified the dependencies.
  Hugo Tunius #995

• pod update will now accept root pod names, even when only subspecs are installed.
  Samuel Giddins #3689

• Support for the new watchos platform.
  Boris Bügling #3681

Bug Fixes

• Added recursive support to the public headers of vendored frameworks that are automatically linked in the sandbox. This fixes and issue for framework header directories that contain sub-directories.
  Todd Casey #3161

• Public headers of vendored frameworks are now automatically linked in the sandbox. That allows transitive inclusion of headers from other pods.
  Vincent Isambart #3161

• Fixes an issue that prevented static libraries from building. OTHER_LIBTOOLFLAGS is no longer set to the value of OTHER_LDFLAGS. If you want to create a static library that includes all dependencies for (internal/external) distribution then you should use a tool like cocoapods-packager.
  Michael Moscardini #2747 #2704

• The embed frameworks script will now properly filter out symlinks to the directories that are filtered, which fixes an issue when submitting to the Mac App Store.
  Samuel Giddins

• The error report template is now more robust against missing executables.
  Samuel Giddins #3719

• Attempting to specify a git source where a Podspec for the requested pod is not found will have a more helpful error message.

  Samuel Giddins

• Fixes an issue which prevented using a custom CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR when integrating CocoaPods via dynamic frameworks.
  Tim Rosenblatt #3675

• Pods frameworks in codesigned Mac apps are now signed.
  Nikolaj Schumacher #3646

  Daniel Barden #3515

• Just remove write permissions from files, so executables are unaffected.
  Mason Glidden #3501

• Always copy the generated Podfile.lock to Pods/Manifest.lock so they are guaranteed to match, character-by-character, after installation.
  Samuel Giddins #3502

• Don't generate an umbrella header when a custom module map is specified. This avoids an incomplete module map warning.
  Samuel Giddins

• Actually allow skipping the download cache by downloading directly to the download target when requested.

  Samuel Giddins Marius Rackwitz #3145

• Show the source URI for local Pod specification repositories in pod repo list.
  Kyle Fuller

• Only show a warning when there is a minimum deployment target mismatch between target and spec, instead of throwing a hard error.
  Samuel Giddins #1241

• Add download caching for pods, which speeds up pod install and linting, potentially by several orders of magnitude.
  Samuel Giddins #2863 #3172

• Add a --fail-fast option to both pod spec lint and pod lib lint that causes the linter to exit as soon as a single subspec or platform fails linting.
  Marius Rackwitz

• Naïvely prevent base xcconfig warnings for targets that have custom config files set.
  Chris Brauchli #2633

• Ensure private headers are declared as such in a framework's generated module map.

Core

Bug Fixes

• Unique resources passed to the script generator.
  Diego Torres #3315 #3327

• Update the Manifest.lock when migrating local podspecs to JSON. This fixes running pod install after upgrading to 0.36.
  Samuel Giddins #3292 #3299

0.36.1 (2015-03-27)

Xcodeproj

Bug Fixes

• Workarounds(✻) for the resource script's handling of .xcasset files.
  sodas Tony Li Chongyu Zhu #3247 #3303

• Fix the sanitization of configuration names in the generated target environment header.
  Samuel Giddins #3301

(✻) Note: these fixes are only temporary to avoid overriding the user project's xcassets. We are aware that these workarounds are "too greedy" and thus user projects having different xcassets for different targets will still have issues; we (@AliSoftware) are working on a deeper fix (#3263) for the next release.

0.36.0 (2015-03-11)

Xcodeproj

For more details, see 📝 CocoaPods 0.36 on our blog.

Enhancements

• Allows Swift pods to have a deployment target under iOS 8.0 if they use XCTest.

0.36.0.beta.1 (2014-12-25)

CocoaPods • CocoaPods-Core • Xcodeproj • CLAide • Molinillo • cocoapods-downloader • cocoapods-try • cocoapods-trunk • cocoapods-plugins

Highlighted Enhancement That Needs Testing

• Support Frameworks & Swift: CocoaPods now recognizes Swift source files and builds dynamic frameworks when necessary. A project can explicitly opt-in via use_frameworks! in the Podfile, or if any dependency contains Swift code, all pods for that target will be integrated as frameworks.

  As a pod author, you can change the module name of the built framework by specifying a module_name in the podspec. The built frameworks are embedded into the host application with a new shell script build phase in the user's project allowing configuration-dependent pods.

  Marius Rackwitz #2835

Breaking

• Bundle Resources into Frameworks: Previously all resources were compiled and copied into the mainBundle. Now Pods have to use [NSBundle bundleForClass:<#Class from Pod#>] to access provided resources relative to the bundle.

  Boris Bügling #2835

• Only the hooks specified by usage of the plugin directive of the Podfile will be run. Additionally, plugins that depend on hooks will have to update to specify their 'plugin name' when registering the hooks in order to make it possible for those hooks to be run.
  Samuel Giddins #2640

Enhancements

• Do not generate targets for Pods without sources.
  Boris Bügling #2918

• Show the name of the source for each hook that is run in verbose mode.
  Samuel Giddins #2639

• Move pods' private headers to Headers/Private from Headers/Build. Since some SCM ignore templates include build by default, this makes it easier to check in the Pods/ directory.
  Samuel Giddins #2623

• Validate that a specification's public_header_files and private_header_files file patterns only match header files. Also, validate that all file patterns, if given, match at least one file.
  Samuel Giddins #2914

• Installer changed to organize a development pod's source and resource files into subgroups reflecting their organization in the filesystem.
  Imre mihaly

Bug Fixes

• Fix updating a pod that has subspec dependencies.
  Samuel Giddins #2879

• Restore the #defines in the environment header when the --no-integrate installation option is used.
  Samuel Giddins #2876

• Fix issues when trying to discover the xcodeproj automatically but the current path contains special characters ([,],{,},*,?).
  Olivier Halligon #2852

• Fix linting subspecs that have a higher deployment target than the root spec.
  Samuel Giddins #1919

• Fix the reading of podspecs that come from the :git, :svn, :http, or :hg options in your Podfile that used context-dependent ruby code, such as reading a file to determine the specification version.
  Samuel Giddins #2875

• Fix the updating of :git, :svn, and :hg dependencies when updating all pods.
  Samuel Giddins #2859

• Fix an issue when a user doesn't yet have any spec repositories configured.
  Boris Bügling

• Fix an issue updating repositories when another spec repository doesn't have a remote.
  Kyle Fuller #2965

Enhancements

• Allow the specification of file patterns for the Podspec's requires_arc attribute.
  Kyle Fuller Samuel Giddins #532

• From now on, pods installed directly from their repositories will be recorded in the Podfile.lock file and will be guaranteed to be checked-out using the same revision on subsequent installations. Examples of this are when using the :git, :svn, or :hg options in your Podfile.
  Samuel Giddins #1058

Bug Fixes

• Fix an output formatting issue with various commands like pod search and pod trunk. Olivier Halligon #2603

• Show a helpful error message if the old resolver incorrectly activated a pre-release version that now leads to a version conflict.
  Samuel Giddins

• Provides a user friendly message when using pod spec create with a repository that doesn't yet have any commits.
  Kyle Fuller #2803

• Fixes an issue with integrating into projects where there is a slash in the build configuration name.
  Kyle Fuller #2767

• Pods will use CLANG_ENABLE_OBJC_ARC = 'YES' instead of CLANG_ENABLE_OBJC_ARC = 'NO'. For pods with requires_arc = false the -fno-objc-arc flag will be specified for the all source files.
  Hugo Tunius #2262

• Fixed an issue that Core Data mapping models where not compiled when copying resources to main application bundle.
  Yan Rabovik

• Fix uninitialized constant Class::YAML crash in some cases. Tim Shadel

Enhancements

• pod search, pod spec which, pod spec cat and pod spec edit now use plain text search by default instead of a regex. Especially pod search UIView+UI now searches for pods containing exactly UIView+UI in their name, not trying to interpret the + as a regular expression. Note: You can still use a regular expression with the new --regex flag that has been added to these commands, e.g. pod search --regex "(NS|UI)Color". Olivier Halligon Core#188

• Use --allow-warnings rather than --error-only for pod spec validation Daniel Tomlinson #2820

0.35.0.rc2 (2014-11-06)

Enhancements

• Allow the resolver to fail faster when there are unresolvable conflicts involving the Lockfile.
  Samuel Giddins

Bug Fixes

  Samuel Giddins #2768

• We no longer require git version 1.7.5 or greater.
  Kyle Fuller

• Fix the usage of :head pods.

• Show a more informative message when attempting to lint a spec whose source could not be downloaded.
  Samuel Giddins #2667 #2759

0.35.0.rc1 (2014-11-02)

Highlighted Enhancements That Need Testing

• The Resolver has been completely rewritten to use Molinillo, an iterative dependency resolution algorithm that automatically resolves version conflicts. The order in which dependencies are declared in the Podfile no longer has any effect on the resolution process.

  You should ensure that pod install, pod update and pod update [NAME] work as expected and install the correct versions of your pods during this RC1 release. Samuel Giddins #978 #2002

Breaking

• Support for older versions of Ruby has been dropped and CocoaPods now depends on Ruby 2.0.0 or greater. This is due to the release of Xcode 6.0 which has dropped support for OS X 10.8, which results in the minimum version of Ruby pre-installed on OS X now being 2.0.0.

  If you are using a custom installation of Ruby older than 2.0.0, you will need to update. Or even better, migrate to system Ruby.
  Kyle Fuller

• Attempts to resolve circular dependencies will now raise an exception.
  Samuel Giddins Molinillo#6

Enhancements

• The use of implicit sources has been un-deprecated. By default, all available spec-repos will be used. There should only be a need to specify explicit sources if you want to specifically exclude certain spec-repos, such as the master spec-repo, if you want to declare the order of spec look-up precedence, or if you want other users of a Podfile to automatically have a spec-repo cloned on pod install.
  Eloy Durán

• The pod push command has been removed as it has been deprecated in favour of pod repo push in CocoaPods 0.33.
  Fabio Pelosin

• Refactorings in preparation to framework support, which could break usage of the Hooks API.
  Marius Rackwitz #2461

• Implicit dependencies are now locked, so simply running pod install will not cause them to be updated when they shouldn't be.
  Samuel Giddins #2318 #2506

• Pre-release versions are only considered in the resolution process when there are dependencies that explicitly reference pre-release requirements.
  Samuel Giddins #1489

• Only setup the master specs repo if required.
  Daniel Tomlinson #2562

• Sandbox::FileAccessor now optionally includes expanded paths of headers of vendored frameworks in public_headers.
  Eloy Durán #2722

• Analysis is now halted and the user informed when there are multiple different external sources for dependencies with the same root name. The user is also now warned when there are duplicate dependencies in the Podfile.
  Samuel Giddins #2738

• Multiple subspecs that point to the same external dependency will now only cause that external source to be fetched once.
  Samuel Giddins #2743

Bug Fixes

• Fixes an issue in the XCConfigIntegrator where not all targets that need integration were being integrated, but were getting incorrect warnings about the user having specified a custom base configuration.
  Eloy Durán 2752

• Do not try to clone spec-repos in /.
  Eloy Durán #2723

• Improved sanitizing of configuration names which have a numeric prefix.
  Steffen Matthischke #2700

• Fixes an issues where headers from a podspec with one platform are exposed to targets with a different platform. The headers are now only exposed to the targets with the same platform.
  Michael Melanson Kyle Fuller #1249

0.34.4 (2014-10-18)

Bug Fixes

• Fixes a crash when running pod outdated.
  Samuel Giddins #2624

• Ensure that external sources (as specified in the Podfile) are downloaded when their source is missing, even if their specification is present.
  Samuel Giddins #2494

• Fixes an issue where running pod install/update while the Xcode project is open can cause the open project to have build failures until Xcode is restarted.
  Kyle Fuller #2627 #2665

• Fixes a crash when using file URLs as a source.
  Kurry Tran #2683

• Fixes an issue when using pods in static library targets and building with Xcode 6 which requires OTHER_LIBTOOLFLAGS instead of OTHER_LDFLAGS, thus basically reverting to the previous Xcode behaviour, for now at least.
  Kyle Fuller Eloy Durán #2666

• Fixes an issue running the resources script when Xcode is installed to a directory with a space when compiling xcassets.
  Kyle Fuller #2684

• Fixes an issue when installing Pods with resources to a target which doesn't have any resources.
  Kyle Fuller #2083

• Ensure that git 1.7.5 or newer is installed when running pod.
  Kyle Fuller #2651

0.34.2 (2014-10-08)

Enhancements

  Samuel Giddins #2470

• Allows the use of the GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITION flag ${inherited} without emitting a warning.
  Samuel Giddins #2577

• Integration with user project will no longer replace an existing base build configuration.
  Robert Jones #1736

Bug Fixes

• Improved sanitizing of configuration names to avoid generating invalid preprocessor definitions.
  Boris Bügling #2542

• More robust generation of source names from URLs.
  Samuel Giddins #2534

• Allow the Validator to only use specific sources. Allows customizable source for pod spec lint and pod lib lint, with both defaulting to master. Samuel Giddins #2543 cocoapods-trunk#28

• Takes into account the sources specified in Podfile running pod outdated.
  Samuel Giddins #2553

• Ensures that the master repo is shallow cloned when added via a Podfile source directive.
  Samuel Giddins #3586

• Ensures that the user project is not saved when there are no user targets integrated.
  Samuel Giddins #2561 #2593

• Fix a crash when running pod install with an empty target that inherits a pod from a parent target.
  Kyle Fuller #2591

• Take into account versions of a Pod from all specified sources when resolving dependencies.
  Thomas Visser #2556

• Sanitize build configuration names in target environment header macros.
  Kra Larivain #2532

0.34.1 (2014-09-26)

Bug Fixes

• Doesn't take into account the trailing .git in repository URLs when trying to find a matching specs repo.
  Samuel Giddins #2526

0.34.0 (2014-09-26)

For more details, see 📝 CocoaPods 0.34 on our blog.

Breaking

• Add support for loading podspecs from only specific spec-repos via sources. By default, when there are no sources specified in a Podfile all source repos will be used. This has always been the case. However, this implicit use of sources is now deprecated. Once you specify specific sources, no repos will be included by default. For example:

    source 'https://github.com/artsy/Specs.git'
    source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
  

  Any source URLs specified that have not yet been added will be cloned before resolution begins.
  François Benaiteau Fabio Pelosin Samuel Giddins #1143 Core#19 Core#170 #2515

Enhancements

• Added the pod repo list command which lists all the repositories.
  Luis Ascorbe #1455

Bug Fixes

• Works around an Xcode issue where linting would fail even though xcodebuild actually succeeds. Xcode.app also doesn't fail when this issue occurs, so it's safe for us to do the same.
  Kra Larivain Boris Bügling Eloy Durán Samuel E. Giddins #2394 #2395

• Fixes the detection of JSON podspecs included via :path.
  laiso #2489

• Fixes an issue where pod install would crash during Plist building if any pod has invalid UTF-8 characters in their title or description.
  Ladislav Martincik #2482

• Fix crash when the URL of a private GitHub repo is passed to pod spec create as an argument.
  Fabio Pelosin #1543

0.34.0.rc2 (2014-09-16)

Bug Fixes

  Kyle Fuller #2147

• Fixes an issue where pod init would not add source 'master' to newly created Podfiles.
  Ash Furrow #2473

0.34.0.rc1 (2014-09-13)

Breaking

• The use of the $PODS_ROOT environment variable has been deprecated and should not be used. It will be removed in future versions of CocoaPods.
  #2449

• Add support for loading podspecs from specific spec-repos only, a.k.a. ‘sources’. By default, when not specifying any specific sources in your Podfile, the ‘master’ spec-repo will be used, as was always the case. However, once you specify specific sources the ‘master’ spec-repo will not be included by default. For example:

    source 'private-spec-repo'
    source 'master'
  

  François Benaiteau Fabio Pelosin #1143 Core#19

• The Pods directory has been reorganized. This might require manual intervention in projects where files generated by CocoaPods have manually been imported into the user's project (common with the acknowledgements files).
  #1055 Fabio Pelosin Michele Titolo

• Plugins are now expected to include the cocoapods-plugin.rb file in ./lib.
  Fabio Pelosin CLAide#28

• The specification requires_arc attribute now defaults to true.
  Fabio Pelosin CocoaPods#267

Enhancements

• Add support to specify dependencies per build configuration:

    pod 'Lookback', :configurations => ['Debug']
  

  Currently configurations can only be specified per single Pod.
  Joachim Bengtsson Eloy Durán Fabio Pelosin #1791 #1668 #731

• Improved performance of git downloads using shallow clone.
  Marin Usalj Fabio Pelosin cocoapods-downloader#29

• Simplify installation: CocoaPods no longer requires the compilation of the troublesome native extensions.
  Fabio Pelosin Xcodeproj#168 Xcodeproj#167

• Add hooks for plugins. Currently only the installer hook is supported. A plugin can register itself to be activated after the installation with the following syntax:

  Pod::HooksManager.register(:post_install) do |installer_context|
    # implementation
  end
  

  The installer_context is an instance of the Pod::Installer:HooksContext class which provides the information about the installation.
  Fabio Pelosin Core#132

  rm -f /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_pod
  dpod --completion-script > /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_pod
  exec zsh
  

  Currently only the Z shell is supported.
  Fabio Pelosin CLAide#25 CLAide#20 CLAide#19 CLAide#17 CLAide#12

0.29.0 (2013-12-25)

CocoaPods • CocoaPods-core • cocoapods-downloader

For more details, see 📝 CocoaPods 0.29 on our blog.

Breaking

• The command podfile_info is now a plugin offered by CocoaPods. As a result, the command has been removed from CocoaPods.
  Joshua Kalpin #1589

• JSON has been adopted as the format to store specifications. As a result the pod ipc spec command returns a JSON representation and the YAML specifications are not supported anymore. JSON specifications adopt the .podspec.json extension. Fabio Pelosin #1568

Enhancements

• Introduced pod try the easiest way to test the example project of a pod.
  Fabio Pelosin #1568

• Pod headers are now provided to the user target as a system header. This means that any warnings in a Pod's code will show under its target in Xcode's build navigator, and never under the user target.
  Swizzlr #1596

• Support LZMA2 compressed tarballs in the downloader.
  Kyle Fuller cocoapods-downloader#5

• Add Bazaar support for installing directly from a repo.
  Fred McCann #1632

• The pod search <query> command now supports regular expressions for the query parameter when searching using the option --full.
  Florian Hanke #1643

• Pod lib lint now accepts multiple podspecs in the same folder.
  kra Larivain/OpenTable #1635

  Kevin Wales #1562

• When updating the pod repos, repositories with unreachable remotes are now ignored. This fixes an issue with certain private repositories.
  Joshua Kalpin #1595 #1571

• The linter will now display an error if a Pod's name contains whitespace.
  Joshua Kalpin Core#39 #1610

• Having the silent flag enabled in the config will no longer cause issues with pod search. In addition, the flag --silent is no longer supported for the command.

• The linter will now display an error if a framework ends with .framework (i.e. QuartzCore.framework).
  Joshua Kalpin #1331 Core#45

• The linter will now display an error if a library ends with .a or .dylib (i.e. z.dylib). It will also display an error if it begins with lib (i.e. libxml).
  Joshua Kalpin Core#44

• The ARCHS build setting can come back as an array when more than one architecture is specified.
  Carson McDonald #1628

• Fixed all issues caused by /tmp being a symlink to /private/tmp. This affected mostly pod lib lint, causing it to fail when the Pod used prefix_header_* or when the pod headers imported headers using the namespaced syntax (e.g. #import <MyPod/Header.h>).
  kra Larivain/OpenTable #1514

• Fixed an incorrect path being used in the example app Podfile generated by pod lib create. Eloy Durán cocoapods-try#5

0.28.0 (2013-11-14)

CocoaPods • CocoaPods-core • CLAide

For more details, see 📝 CocoaPods 0.28 on our blog.

Enhancements

• CLAide now supports gem plugins. An example CocoaPods plugin can be found at open_pod_bay.

  As of yet there are no promises made yet on the APIs, so try to fail as gracefully as possible in case a CocoaPods update breaks your usage. In these cases, also please let us know what you would need, so we can take this into account when we do finalize APIs.

  Les Hill CLAide#1 #959

Bug Fixes

• Compiling xcassets with actool now uses UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH instead of PRODUCT_NAME.WRAPPER_EXTENSION as output directory as it is more accurate and allows the project to overwrite WRAPPER_NAME.
  Marc Knaup #1556

• Added a condition to avoid compiling xcassets when WRAPPER_EXTENSION is undefined, as it would be in the case of static libraries. This prevents trying to copy the compiled files to a directory that does not exist.
  Noah McCann #1521

• Added additional condition to check if actool is available when compiling xcassets. This prevents build failures of Xcode 5 projects on Travis CI (or lower Xcode versions).
  Michal Konturek #1511

• Added a condition to properly handle universal or mac apps when compiling xcassets. This prevents build errors in the xcassets compilation stage particularly when using xctool to build.

  Swizzlr #1560

• Users are now warned if their terminal encoding is not UTF-8. This fixes an issue with a small percentage of pod names that are incompatible with ASCII.
  Joshua Kalpin #1570

0.27.1 (2013-10-24)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj

For more details, see 📝 CocoaPods 0.27 and improved installation UX on our blog.

Enhancements

• The xcodeproj gem now comes bundled with prebuilt binaries for the Ruby versions that come with OS X 10.8 and 10.9. Users now no longer need to install the Xcode Command Line Tools or deal with the Ruby C header location.
  Eloy Durán Xcodeproj#88

• Targets passed to the link_with method of the Podfile DSL no longer need to be explicitly passed as an array. link_with ['target1', 'target2'] can now be written as link_with 'target1', 'target2'.
  Adam Sharp Core#30

• The copy resources script now compiles xcassets resources.
  Ulrik Damm #1427

• pod repo now support a remove ['repo_name'] command.
  Joshua Kalpin #1493 #1484

Bug Fixes

• The architecture is now set in the build settings of the user build configurations.
  Fabio Pelosin #1450 #1462

• Fixed a crash related to CocoaPods being unable to resolve an unique build setting of an user target with custom build configurations.
  Fabio Pelosin #1462 #1463 #1457

• Fixed a defect which prevented subspecs from being dependant on a pod with a name closely matching the name of one of the subspec's parents.
  Noah McCann #29

• The developer dir relative to the SDK is not added anymore if testing frameworks are detected in OS X targets, as it doesn't exists, avoiding the presentation of the relative warning in Xcode.
  Fabio Pelosin

0.26.2 (2013-10-09)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash which was causing a failure in pod lib create if the name of the Pod included spaces. As spaces are not supported now this is gracefully handled with an informative message.
  Kyle Fuller #1456

• If an user target doesn't specify an architecture the value specified for the project is used in CocoaPods targets.
  Fabio Pelosin #1450

• The Pods project now properly configures ARC on all build configurations.
  Fabio Pelosin #1454

0.26.1 (2013-10-08)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj

For more details, see 📝 CocoaPods 0.26 on our blog.

Enhancements

• CocoaPods now creates and hides the schemes of its targets after every installation. The schemes are not shared because the flag which keeps track whether they should be visible is a user only flag. The schemes are still present and to debug a single Pod it is possible to make its scheme visible in the Schemes manager of Xcode. This is rarely needed though because the user targets trigger the compilation of the Pod targets.
  Fabio Pelosin #1185

• Installations which don't integrate a user target (lint subcommands and --no-integrate option) now set the architecture of OS X Pod targets to $(ARCHS_STANDARD_64_BIT) (Xcode 4 default value for new targets). This fixes lint issues with Xcode 4.
  Fabio Pelosin #1185

• Further improvements to the organization of the Pods project

  • The project is now is sorted by name with groups at the bottom.
  • Source files are now stored in the root group of the spec, subspecs are not stored in a Subspec group anymore and the products of the Pods all are stored in the products group of the project.
  • The frameworks are referenced relative to the Developer directory and namespaced per platform.

  Fabio Pelosin #1389 #1420

• Added the documentation_url DSL attribute to the specifications.
  Fabio Pelosin #1273

Bug Fixes

• The search paths of vendored frameworks and libraries now are always specified relatively.
  Fabio Pelosin #1405

• Fix an issue where CocoaPods would fail to work when used with an older version of the Active Support gem. This fix raises the dependency version to the earliest compatible version of Active Support.
  Kyle Fuller #1407

• CocoaPods will not attempt to load anymore all the version of a specification preventing crashes if those are incompatible.
  Fabio Pelosin #1272

0.25.0 (2013-09-20)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj

Enhancements

• Added support for Xcode 5.

  The generated Pods Xcode project is now compatible with arm64 projects and is updated to use Xcode 5’s default settings removing all warnings.

  NOTE to users migrating projects from Xcode 4, or are still using Xcode 4:

  1. The Pods Xcode project now sets the ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH build setting to YES in the Debug configuration. You will have to set the same on your project/target, otherwise the build will fail.
  2. Ensure your project/target has an ARCHS value set, otherwise the build will fail.
  3. When building a iOS project from the command-line, with the xcodebuild tool that comes with Xcode 4, you’ll need to completely disable this setting by appending to your build command: ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO.

  #1352

• Speed up project generation in pod install and pod update.

• The pre and post install hooks that have been deprecated now include the name and version of the spec that’s using them.

Bug Fixes

• Only create a single resource bundle for all targets. Prior to this change a resource bundle included into multiple targets within the project would create duplicately named targets in the Pods Xcode project, causing duplicately named Schemes to be created on each invocation of pod install. All targets that reference a given resource bundle now have dependencies on a single common target.

  Blake Watters #1338

• Solved outstanding issues with CocoaPods resource bundles and Archive builds:

  1. The rsync task copies symlinks into the App Bundle, producing an invalid app. This change add --copy-links to the rsync invocation to ensure the target files are copied rather than the symlink.
  2. The Copy Resources script uses TARGET_BUILD_DIR which points to the App Archiving folder during an Archive action. Switching to BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR instead ensures that the path is correct for all actions and configurations.

  Blake Watters #1309 #1329

• Ensure resource bundles are copied to installation location on install actions Chris Gummer #1364

• Various bugfixes in Xcodeproj, refer to its CHANGELOG for details.

0.24.0 (2013-09-04)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj • cocoapods-downloader

Enhancements

• Added pod init command which generates a Podfile according to the targets of the project stored in the working directory and to the templates stored in the ~/.cocoapods/templates folder. Two templates are supported:

  • the Podfile.default template for regular targets.
  • and the Podfile.test template for test targets. Ian Ynda-Hummel #1106 #1045

• CocoaPods will now leverage the xcproj command line tool if available in the path of the user to touch saved projects. This will result in projects being serialized in the exact format used by Xcode eliminating merge conflicts and other related issues. To learn more about how to install xcproj see its readme. Cédric Luthi #1275

• Rationalized and cleaned up Pods project group structure and path specification.

• Create all necessary build configurations for Pods.xcodeproj at the project level. If the user’s project has more than just Debug and Release build configurations, they may be explicitly specified in the Podfile:
  xcodeproj 'MyApp', 'App Store' => :release, 'Debug' => :debug, 'Release' => :release
  If build configurations aren’t specified in the Podfile then they will be automatically picked from the user’s project in Release mode.
  These changes will ensure that the libPods.a static library is not stripped for all configurations, as explained in #1217.
  Cédric Luthi
  #1294

• Added basic support for Bazaar repositories.
  Fred McCann
  cocoapods-downloader#4

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash in pod spec cat.

• Use the TARGET_BUILD_DIR environment variable for installing resource bundles.
  Cédric Luthi
  #1268

• CoreData versioned models are now properly handled respecting the contents of the .xccurrentversion file.
  Ashton-W
  #1288, Xcodeproj#83

• OS X frameworks are now copied to the Resources folder using rsync to properly overwrite existing files.
  Nikolaj Schumacher
  #1063

• User defined build configurations are now added to the resource bundle targets.
  #1309

0.23.0 (2013-08-08)

0.23.0.rc1 (2013-08-02)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj • cocoapods-downloader

Enhancements

• Added prepare_command attribute to Specification DSL. The prepare command will replace the pre_install hook. The post_install hook has also been deprecated. #1247

  The reason we provided Ruby hooks at first, was because we wanted to offer the option to make any required configuration possible. By now, however, we have a pretty good idea of the use-cases and are therefore locking down the freedom that was once available. In turn, we’re adding attributes that can replace the most common use-cases. (See the enhancements directly following this entry for more info).

  The second reason we need to lock this down is because this is the last remaining obstacle to fully serialize specifications, which we need in order to move to a ‘spec push’ web-service in the future.

• Added resource_bundles attribute to the Specification DSL.
  #743 #1186

• Added vendored_frameworks attribute to the Specification DSL.
  #809 #1075

• Added vendored_libraries attribute to the Specification DSL.
  #809 #1075

• Restructured .cocoapods folder to contain repos in a subdirectory.
  Ian Ynda-Hummel #1150

• Improved pod spec create template.
  #1223

• Added copy&paste-friendly dependency to pod search.
  #1073

• Improved performance of the installation of Pods with git sources which specify a tag.
  #1077

• Core Data xcdatamodeld files are now properly referenced from the Pods project.
  #1155

• Removed punctuation check from the specification validations.
  #1242

• Deprecated the documentation attribute of the Specification DSL.
  Core#20

Bug Fixes

• Fix copy resource script issue related to filenames with spaces.
  Denis Hennessy #1231

0.22.3 (2013-07-23)

CocoaPods

Enhancements

• Add support for .xcdatamodel resource files (in addition to .xcdatamodeld). #1201

Bug Fixes

• Always exlude USE_HEADERMAP from the user’s project. #1216

• Use correct template repo when using the pod lib create command. #1214

• Fixed issue with pod push failing when the podspec is unchanged. It will now report [No change] ExamplePod (0.1.0) and continue to push other podspecs if they exist. #1199

• Set STRIP_INSTALLED_PRODUCT = NO in the generated Pods project. This allows Xcode to include symbols from CocoaPods in dSYMs during Archive builds. #1217

• Ensure the resource script doesn’t fail due to the resources list file not existing when trying to delete it. #1198

• Fix handling of spaces in paths when compiling xcdatamodel(d) files. #1201

0.22.2 (2013-07-11)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj

Enhancements

• The build settings of the Pods project and of its target have been updated to be in line with the new defaults of the future versions of Xcode.

Bug fixes

• Specifications defining build setting with the [*] syntax are now properly handled. #1171

• The name of the files references are now properly set fixing a minor regression introduced by CocoaPods 0.22.1 and matching more closely Xcode behaviour.

• The validator now builds the Pods target instead of the first target actually performing the validation.

• Build settings defined through the xcconfig attribute of a podspec are now stripped of duplicate values when merged in an aggregate target. #1189

0.22.1 (2013-07-03)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core

Bug fixes

• Fixed a crash related to target dependencies and subspecs. #1168

0.22.0 (2013-07-03)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj

Enhancements

• Added the pod lib create subcommand which allows to create a new Pod adhering to the best practices. The template is still a bit primitive and we encourage users to provide feedback by submitting patches and issues to https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods. #850

• Added the pod lib lint subcommand which allows to lint the Pod stored in the working directory (a pod spec in the root is needed). This subcommand is equivalent to the deprecated pod spec lint --local. #850

• The dependencies of the targets of the Pods project are now made explicit. #1165

• The size of the cache used for the git repos is now configurable. For more details see https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/blob/master/lib/cocoapods/config.rb#L7-L25 #1159

• The copy resources shell script now aborts if any error occurs. #1098

• The output of shell script build phases no longer includes environment variables to reduce noise. #1122

• CocoaPods no longer sets the deprecated ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS build setting.

Bug fixes

• Pods whose head state changes now are correctly detected and reinstalled. #1160

• Fixed the library reppresentation of the hooks which caused issues with the #copy_resources_script_path method. #1157

• Frameworks symlinks are not properly preserved by the copy resources script. Thanks to Thomas Dohmke (ashtom) for the fix. #1063

0.21.0 (2013-07-01)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj

Bug fixes

• Fixed a linter issue related to the dedicated targets change. #1130

• Fixed xcconfig issues related to Pods including a dot in the name. #1152

0.21.0.rc1 (2013-06-18)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj

Enhancements

• Pods are now built in dedicated targets. This enhancement isolates the build environment of each Pod from other ones eliminating pollution issues. It also introduces an important architectural improvement which lays the foundation for the upcoming CocoaPods features. Stay tuned! This feature has been implemented by Jeremy Slater. #1011 #983 #841

• Reduced external dependencies and deprecation of Rake::FileList. #1080

Bug fixes

• Fixed crash due to Podfile.lock containing multiple version requirements for a Pod. #1076

• Fixed a build error due to the copy resources script using the same temporary file for multiple targets. #1099

0.20.2 (2013-05-26)

CocoaPods

Bug fixes

• Ensure that, in a sandbox-pod env, RubyGems loads the CocoaPods gem on system Ruby (1.8.7). #939
• Allow sandbox-pod to execute any tool inside the Xcode.app bundle.
• Allow sandbox-pod to execute any tool inside a rbenv prefix.

0.20.1 (2013-05-23)

CocoaPods • CLAide

Bug fixes

• Made sandbox-pod executable visible as it wasn't correctly configured in the gemspec.
• Made sandbox-pod executable actually work when installed as a gem. (In which case every executable is wrapped in a wrapper bin script and the DATA constant can no longer be used.)
• Required CLAide 0.3.2 as 0.3.0 didn't include all the files in the gemspec and 0.3.1 was not correctly processed by RubyGems.

0.20.0 (2013-05-23)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • cocoapods-downloader • Xcodeproj • CLAide

Enhancements

• Introduces an experimental sandbox feature. #939

  Let’s face it, even though we have a great community that spends an amazing amount of time on curating the specifications, the internet can be a hostile place and the community is growing too large to take a naive approach any longer.

  As such, we have started leveraging OS X’s sandbox facilities to disallow unsanctioned operations. This is still very experimental and therefore has to be used explicitely, for now, but that does not mean we don’t want you to start using it and report issues.

  To use the sandbox, simply use the sandbox-pod command instead. E.g.:

    $ sandbox-pod install
  

  In case of issues, be sure to check /var/log/system.log for ‘deny’ messages. For instance, here’s an example where the sandbox denies read access to /:

    May 16 00:23:35 Khaos kernel[0]: Sandbox: ruby(98430) deny file-read-data /
  

  NOTE: The above example is actually one that we know of. We’re not sure yet which process causes this, but there shouldn’t be a need for any process to read data from the root path anyways.

  NOTE 2: At the moment the sandbox is not compatible with the :path option when referencing Pods that are not stored within the directory of the Podfile.

• The naked pod command now defaults to pod install. #958

• CocoaPods will look for the Podfile in the ancestors paths if one is not available in the working directory. #940

• Documentation generation has been removed from CocoaPods as it graduated to CocoaDocs. This decision was taken because CocoaDocs is a much better solution which doesn't clutter Xcode's docsets while still allowing access to the docsets with Xcode and with Dash. Removing this feature keeps the installer leaner and easier to develop and paves the way for the upcoming sandbox. Private pods can use pre install hook to generate the documentation. If there will be enough demand this feature might be reintegrated as plugin (see #1037).

• Improved performance of the copy resources script and thus build time of the integrated targets. Contribution by @onato #1050.

• The changelog for the current version is printed after CocoaPods is installed/updated. #853.

Bug fixes

• Inheriting inhibit_warnings per pod is now working #1032
• Fix copy resources script for iOS < 6 and OS X < 10.8 by removing the --reference-external-strings-file flag. #1030
• Fixed issues with the :head option of the Podfile. #1046 #1039

0.19.1 (2013-04-30)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core

Bug fixes

• Project-level preprocessor macros are not overwritten anymore. #903
• A Unique hash instances for the build settings of the Pods target is now created resolving interferences in the hooks. #1014

0.19.0 (2013-04-30)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core

Enhancements

• Compile time introspection. Macro definitions which allow to inspect the installed Pods and their version have been introduced in the build environment of the Pod libraries (example).
• CocoaPods now defines the COCOAPODS=1 macro in the Pod and the Client targets. This is useful for libraries which conditionally expose interfaces. #903
• Added support for the private_header_files attribute of the Specification DSL. #998
• CocoaPods now defines the deployment target of the Pods project computed as the minimum deployment target of the Pods libraries. #556
• Added pod podfile-info command. Shows list of used Pods and their info in a project or supplied Podfile. Options: --all - with dependencies. --md - in Markdown. #855
• Added pod help command. You can still use the old format with --help flag. #957
• Restored support for Podfiles named CocoaPods.podfile. Moreover, the experimental YAML format of the Podfile now is associated with files named CocoaPods.podfile.yaml. #1004

Deprecations

• The :local flag in Podfile has been renamed to :path and the old syntax has been deprecated. #971

Bug fixes

• Fixed issue related to pod outdated and external sources. #954
• Fixed issue with .svn folders in copy resources script. #972

0.18.1 (2013-04-10)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug introduced in 0.18 which cause compilation issue due to the quoting of the inherited value in the xcconfigs. #956
• Robustness against user targets including build files with missing file references. #938
• Partially fixed slow performance from the command line #919

0.18.0 (2013-04-08)

CocoaPods • cocoapods-core • Xcodeproj

Enhancements

• Added the ability to inhibit warnings per pod. Just pass :inhibit_warnings => true inline. This feature has been implemented by Marin Usalj (@mneorr). #10 #934
• Inhibiting warnings will also suppress the warnings of the static analyzer.
• A new build phase has been added to check that your installation is in sync with the Podfile.lock and fail the build otherwise. The new build phase will not be added automatically to targets already integrated with CocoaPods, for integrating targets manually see this comment. This feature has been implemented by Ullrich Schäfer (@stigi). #946
• The pod search commands now accepts the --ios and the --osx arguments to filter the results by platform. #625
• The developer frameworks are automatically added if SenTestingKit is detected. There is no need to specify them in specifications anymore. #771
• The --no-update argument of the install, update, outdated subcommands has been renamed to --no-repo-update. #913

Bug fixes

• Improved handling for Xcode projects containing non ASCII characters. Special thanks to Cédric Luthi (@0xced), Vincent Isambart (@vincentisambart), and Manfred Stienstra (@Manfred) for helping to develop the workaround. #926
• Corrected improper configuration of the PODS_ROOT xcconfig variable in non-integrating installations. #918
• Improved support for pre-release versions using dashes. #935

• Restored support for directories for the preserve_patterns specification attribute. #823

rc1

CocoaPods • Xcodeproj • cocoapods-core • cocoapods-downloader

Notice

At some point in future the master repo will be switched to the YAML format of specifications. This means that specifications with hooks (or any other kind of dynamic logic) will not be accepted. Please let us know if there is need for other DSL attributes or any other kind of support.

Currently the following specifications fail to load as they depended on the CocoaPods internals and need to be updated:

• LibComponentLogging-pods/0.0.1/LibComponentLogging-pods.podspec
• RestKit/0.9.3/RestKit.podspec
• Three20/1.0.11/Three20.podspec
• ARAnalytics/1.1/ARAnalytics.podspec

Other specifications, might present compatibility issues for the reasons presented below.

Breaking

• Subspecs do not inherit the files patterns from the parent spec anymore. This feature made the implementation more complicated and was not easy to explain to podspecs maintainers. Compatibility can be easily fixed by adding a 'Core' subspec.
• Support for inline podspecs has been removed.
• The support for Rake::FileList is being deprecated, in favor of a more consistent DSL. Rake::FileList also presented issues because it would access the file system as soon as it was converted to an array.
• The hooks architecture has been re-factored and might present incompatibilities (please open an issue if appropriate).
• The requires_arc attribute default value is transitioning from false to true. In the meanwhile a value is needed to pass the lint.
• Deprecated copy_header_mapping hook.
• Deprecated exclude_header_search_paths attribute.
• External sources are not supported in the dependencies of specifications anymore. Actually they never have been supported, they just happened to work.

DSL

• Podfile:
  • It is not needed to specify the platform anymore (unless not integrating) as CocoaPods now can infer the platform from the integrated targets.
• Specification:
  • preferred_dependency has been renamed to default_subspec.
  • Added exclude_files attribute.
  • Added screenshots attribute.
  • Added default values for attributes like source_files.

Enhancements

• Released preview documentation.
• CocoaPods now has support for working in teams and not committing the Pods folder, as it will keep track of the status of the Pods folder. #552
• Simplified installation: no specific version of ruby gems is required anymore.
• The workspace is written only if needed greatly reducing the occasions in which Xcode asks to revert.
• The Lockfile is sorted reducing the SCM noise. #591
• Added Podfile, Frameworks, and Resources to the Pods project. #647 #588
• Adds new subcommand pod spec cat NAME to print a spec file to standard output.
• Specification hooks are only called when the specification is installed.
• The --no-clean option of the pod spec lint command now displays the Pods project for inspection.
• It is now possible to specify default values for the configuration in ~/.cocoapods/config.yaml (default values).
• CocoaPods now checks the checksums of the installed specifications and reinstalls them if needed.
• Support for YAML formats of the Podfile and the Specification.
• Added new command pod ipc to provide support for inter process communication through YAML formats.
• CocoaPods now detects if the folder of a Pod is empty and reinstalls it. #534
• Install hooks and the prefix_header_contents attribute are supported in subspecs. #617
• Dashes are now supported in the versions of the Pods. #293

Bug fixes

• CocoaPods is not confused anymore by target definitions with different activated subspec. #535
• CocoaPods is not confused anymore by to dependencies from external sources. #548
• The git cache will always update against the remote if a tag is requested, resolving issues where library maintainers where updating the tag after a lint and would be confused by CocoaPods using the cached commit for the tag. #407 #596

Codebase

• Major clean up and refactor of the whole code base.
• Extracted the core classes into cocoapods-core gem.
• Extracted downloader into cocoapods-downloader.
• Extracted command-line command & option handling into CLAide.

0.16.4 (2013-02-25)

Bug fixes

• Explicitely require date in the gemspec for Ruby 2.0.0. 34da3f7

0.16.3 (2013-02-20)

CocoaPods • Xcodeproj

Bug fixes

• Only flatten tarballs, not zipballs, from HTTP sources. A zipball can contain single directories in the root that should be preserved, for instance a framework bundle. This reverts part of the change in 0.16.1. NOTE This will break some podspecs that were changed after 0.16.1. #783 #727
• Never consider aggregate targets in the user’s project for integration. #729 #784
• Support comments on all build phases, groups and targets in Xcode projects. #51
• Ensure default Xcode project values are copied before being used. b43087c

• Mark header source files as ‘Project’ not ‘Public’. #747
• Add PBXGroup as acceptable PBXFileReference value. #49
• Make xcodeproj show without further arguments actually work. #45

Enhancements

• Added support for pre-download over Mercurial. #750

0.16.1 (2013-01-13)

CocoaPods • Xcodeproj

Bug fixes

• After unpacking source from a HTTP location, move the source into the parent dir if the archive contained only one child. This is done to make it consistent with how source from other types of locations are described in a podspec. NOTE This might break some podspecs that assumed the incorrect layout. #727 #728
• Remove duplicate option in pod update command. #725
• Memory fixes in Xcodeproj. #43

Xcodeproj Enhancements

• Sort contents of xcconfig files by setting name. #591

0.14.0.rc1 (2012-08-28)

CocoaPods • Xcodeproj

Enhancements

• Improve installation process by preserving the installed versions of Pods across installations and machines. A Pod is reinstalled if:
  • the version required in the Podfile changes and becomes incompatible with the installed one. #191
  • the external source changes.
  • the head status changes (from disabled to enabled or vice-versa).
• Introduce pod update command that installs the dependencies of the Podfile ignoring the lockfile Podfile.lock. #131

• The subversion downloader now does an export instead of a checkout, which makes it play nicer with SCMs that store metadata in each directory. #245
• Now the Podfile is added to the Pods project for convenient editing.

Bug fixes

• The git cache now fetches the tags from the remote if it can’t find the reference.
• Xcodeproj now builds on 10.6.8 and Travis CI without symlinking headers.
• Only try to install, add source files to the project, and clean a Pod once. #376

Notes

• External Pods might be reinstalled due to the migration to the new Podfile.lock.
• The SCM reference of head Pods is not preserved across machines.
• Pods whose inline specification changed are not detected as modified. As a workaround, remove their folder stored in Pods.
• Pods whose specification changed are not detected as modified. As a workaround, remove their folder stored in Pods.

0.6.0 (2012-07-01)

A full list of all the changes since 0.5.1 can be found here.

Link with specific targets

CocoaPods can now integrate all the targets specified in your Podfile.

To specify which target, in your Xcode project, a Pods target should be linked with, use the link_with method like so:

``ruby platform :ios

workspace 'MyWorkspace'

link_with ['MyAppTarget', 'MyOtherAppTarget'] dependency 'JSONKit'

target :test, :exclusive => true do xcodeproj 'TestProject', 'Test' => :debug link_with 'TestRunnerTarget' dependency 'Kiwi' end ``

NOTE: As you can see it can take either one target name, or an array of names.

• If no explicit Xcode workspace is specified and only one project exists in the same directory as the Podfile, then the name of that project is used as the workspace’s name.

• If no explicit Xcode project is specified for a target, it will use the Xcode project of the parent target. If no target specifies an expicit Xcode project and there is only one project in the same directory as the Podfile then that project will be used.

• If no explicit target is specified, then the Pods target will be linked with the first target in your project. So if you only have one target you do not need to specify the target to link with.

See #76 for more info.

Finally, CocoaPods will add build configurations to the Pods project for all configurations in the other projects in the workspace. By default the configurations are based on the Release configuration, to base them on the Debug configuration you will have to explicitely specify them as can be seen above in the following line:

xcodeproj 'TestProject', 'Test' => :debug

Documentation

CocoaPods will now generate documentation for every library with the appledoc tool and install it into Xcode’s documentation viewer.

You can customize the settings used like so:

s.documentation = { :appledoc => ['--product-name', 'My awesome project!'] }

Alternatively, you can specify a URL where an HTML version of the documentation can be found:

s.documentation = { :html => 'http://example.com/docs/index.html' }

See #149 and #151 for more info.

Licenses & Documentation

CocoaPods will now generate two 'Acknowledgements' files for each target specified in your Podfile which contain the License details for each Pod used in that target (assuming details have been specified in the Pod spec).

There is a markdown file, for general consumption, as well as a property list file that can be added to a settings bundle for an iOS application.

You don't need to do anything for this to happen, it should just work.

If you're not happy with the default boilerplate text generated for the title, header and footnotes in the files, it's possible to customise these by overriding the methods that generate the text in your Podfile like this:

class ::Pod::Generator::Acknowledgements
  def header_text
    "My custom header text"
  end
end

You can even go one step further and customise the text on a per target basis by checking against the target name, like this:

class ::Pod::Generator::Acknowledgements
  def header_text
    if @target_definition.label.end_with?("MyTargetName")
      "Custom header text for MyTargetName"
    else
      "Custom header text for other targets"
    end
  end
end

Finally, here's a list of the methods that are available to override:

header_title
header_text
footnote_title
footnote_text

Introduced two new classes: LocalPod and Sandbox.

The Sandbox represents the entire contents of the POD_ROOT (normally SOURCE_ROOT/Pods). A LocalPod represents a pod that has been installed within the Sandbox.

These two classes can be used as better homes for various pieces of logic currently spread throughout the installation process and provide a better API for working with the contents of this directory.

Xcodeproj API

All Xcodeproj APIs are now in snake_case, instead of camelCase. If you are manipulating the project from your Podfile's post_install hook, or from a podspec, then update these method calls.

Enhancements

• #188: list command now displays the specifications introduced in the master repo if it is given as an option the number of days to take into account.

• #188: Transferred search layout improvements and options to list command.

• #166: Added printing of homepage and source to search results.

• #177: Added --stat option to display watchers and forks for pods hosted on GitHub.

• #177: Introduced colors and tuned layout of search.

• #112: Introduced --push option to $ pod setup. It configures the master spec repository to use the private push URL. The change is preserved in future calls to $ pod setup.

• #153: It is no longer required to call $ pod setup.

• #163: Print a template for a new ticket when an error occurs.

• Added a new Github-specific downloader that can download repositories as a gzipped tarball.

• No more global state is kept during resolving of dependencies.

• Updated Xcodeproj to have a friendlier API.

Fixes

• #142: Xcode 4.3.2 no longer supports passing the -fobj-arc flag to the linker and will fail to build. The addition of this flag was a workaround for a compiler bug in previous versions. This flag is no longer included by default - to keep using this flag, you need to add set_arc_compatibility_flag! to your Podfile.

• #183: Fix for .DS_Store file in ~/.cocoapods prevents $ pod install from running.

• #134: Match IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET build setting with deployment_target option in generated Pods project file.

• #142: Add -fobjc-arc to OTHER_LDFLAGS if any pods require ARC.

• #148: External encoding set to UTF-8 on Ruby 1.9 to fix crash caused by non-ascii characters in pod description.

• Ensure all header search paths are quoted in the xcconfig file.

• Added weak quoting to ibtool input paths.

0.5.0 (2011-11-22)

No longer requires MacRuby. Runs on MRI 1.8.7 (OS X system version) and 1.9.3.

A full list of all the changes since 0.3.0 can be found here.

0.4.0

Oops, accidentally skipped this version.

0.3.0 (2011-11-12)

Multiple targets

Add support for multiple static library targets in the Pods Xcode project with different sets of depedencies. This means that you can create a separate library which contains all dependencies, including extra ones that you only use in, for instance, a debug or test build. [docs]

# This Podfile will build three static libraries:
# * libPods.a
# * libPods-debug.a
# * libPods-test.a

# This dependency is included in the `default` target, which generates the
# `libPods.a` library, and all non-exclusive targets.
dependency 'SSCatalog'

target :debug do
  # This dependency is only included in the `debug` target, which generates
  # the `libPods-debug.a` library.
  dependency 'CocoaLumberjack'
end

target :test, :exclusive => true do
  # This dependency is *only* included in the `test` target, which generates
  # the `libPods-test.a` library.
  dependency 'Kiwi'
end

Install libraries from anywhere

A dependency can take a git url if the repo contains a podspec file in its root, or a podspec can be loaded from a file or HTTP location. If no podspec is available, a specification can be defined inline in the Podfile. [docs]

# From a spec repo.
dependency 'SSToolkit'

# Directly from the Pod’s repo (if it contains a podspec).
dependency 'SSToolkit', :git => 'https://github.com/samsoffes/sstoolkit.git'

# Directly from the Pod’s repo (if it contains a podspec) with a specific commit (or tag).
dependency 'SSToolkit', :git    => 'https://github.com/samsoffes/sstoolkit.git',
                        :commit => '2adcd0f81740d6b0cd4589af98790eee3bd1ae7b'

# From a podspec that's outside a spec repo _and_ the library’s repo. This can be a file or http url.
dependency 'SSToolkit', :podspec => 'https://raw.github.com/gist/1353347/ef1800da9c5f5d267a642b8d3950b41174f2a6d7/SSToolkit-0.1.1.podspec'

# If no podspec is available anywhere, you can define one right in your Podfile.
dependency do |s|
  s.name         = 'SSToolkit'
  s.version      = '0.1.3'
  s.platform     = :ios
  s.source       = { :git => 'https://github.com/samsoffes/sstoolkit.git', :commit => '2adcd0f81740d6b0cd4589af98790eee3bd1ae7b' }
  s.resources    = 'Resources'
  s.source_files = 'SSToolkit/**/*.{h,m}'
  s.frameworks   = 'QuartzCore', 'CoreGraphics'

  def s.post_install(target)
    prefix_header = config.project_pods_root + target.prefix_header_filename
    prefix_header.open('a') do |file|
      file.puts(%{#ifdef __OBJC__\n#import "SSToolkitDefines.h"\n#endif})
    end
  end
end

Add a post_install hook to the Podfile class

This allows the user to customize, for instance, the generated Xcode project before it’s written to disk. [docs]

# Enable garbage collection support for MacRuby applications.
post_install do |installer|
  installer.project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['GCC_ENABLE_OBJC_GC'] = 'supported'
    end
  end
end

Manifest

Generate a Podfile.lock file next to the Podfile, which contains a manifest of your application’s dependencies and their dependencies.

Generate Xcode projects from scratch

We no longer ship template projects with the gem, but instead generate them programmatically. This code has moved out into its own Xcodeproj gem, allowing you to automate Xcode related tasks.
