pod-template-xcframework

An opinionated template for creating an XCFramework that have dependencies from CocoaPods and distribute via Pod.

Getting started

There are two reasons for wanting to work on this template, making your own or improving the one for everyone's. In both cases you will want to work with the ruby classes inside the setup folder, and the example base template that it works on from inside templates/Example.

Add dependencies

In this version you need to register dependencies in podspec.

Example :

MyPod.podspec

spec.dependency 'Alamofire' 

Generate XCFramework

This is simple, run build.sh in your terminal.

sh build.sh

This command will generate .xcframework and zipped xcframework file for distribution.

Best practices

The command pod lib create aims to be ran along with this guide: https://guides.cocoapods.org/making/using-pod-lib-create.html so any changes of flow should be updated there also.

It is open to communal input, but adding new features, or new ideas are probably better off being discussed in an issue first. In general we try to think if an average Xcode user is going to use this feature or not, if it's unlikely is it a very strongly encouraged best practice ( ala testing / CI. ) If it's something useful for saving a few minutes every deploy, or isn't easily documented in the guide it is likely to be denied in order to keep this project as simple as possible.

Requirements:

• CocoaPods 1.0.0+
