How to Get the Root Directory of My iOS App

where is the root of the Xcode app project directory located?

Got it.

Open Terminal, navigate to the directory that has your project. Type it like this:

cd ~/Path/To/Folder/Containing/yourProject

I saved mine on my desktop so it was simple.

Then type: pod init

This creates the pod file.

Then type:

open -a Xcode Podfile

This will open the file so that you can edit it.

Remember that the "folders/groups" you make in xcode, those which are yellowish are not reflected as real folders in your iPhone app. They are just there to structure your XCode project. You can nest as many yellow group as you want and they still only serve the purpose of organizing code in XCode.

EDIT

Make a folder outside of XCode then drag it over, and select "Create folder references for any added folders" instead of "Create groups for any added folders" in the popup.
