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
The pod push command will now silently test the upcoming CocoaPods trunk service. The service is only tested when pushing to the master repo and the test doesn't affect the normal workflow.
Fabio Pelosin
The pod search <query> command now supports searching on cocoapods.org when searching using the option --web. Options --ios and --osx are fully supported. Florian Hanke #1643
The pod search <query> command now supports multiword queries when using the --web option. Florian Hanke #1643

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug which resulted in pod lib lint not being able to find the headers.
Fabio Pelosin #1566
Fixed the developer frameworks search paths so that $(SDKROOT)/Developer/Library/Frameworks is used for iOS and $(DEVELOPER_LIBRARY_DIR)/Frameworks is used for OS X.
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.
Joshua Kalpin #1627
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.
Ryan Marsh #1594
Vendored Libraries now correctly affect whether a podspec is considered empty.
Joshua Kalpin Core#38
Vendored Libraries and Vendored Frameworks now have their paths validated correctly.

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)

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)

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)

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)

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.

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.

Bug Fixes

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

0.22.3 (2013-07-23)

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)

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)

Bug fixes

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

0.22.0 (2013-07-03)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Bug fixes

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)

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)

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)

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

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.

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.

Bug fixes

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

0.16.3 (2013-02-20)

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

0.16.1 (2013-01-13)

Bug fixes

After unpacking source from a HTTP location, move the source into the parent dir if the archive contained only one child.

Remove duplicate option in pod update command. #725
Memory fixes in Xcodeproj. #43

Xcodeproj Enhancements

Sort contents of xcconfig files by setting name. #591
