Using Cocoapods in an App Extension Using a Framework

Using Cocoapods in an app extension using a framework

So, what gives :

• My concern of "separating pods between targets" is absurd because you can still import them anywhere.
• The "you have to manually link" issue is fixed by an easy import RealmSwift statement.

The fixed and working Podfile therefore is :

platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

target 'MyApp' do
    pod 'Eureka', '~> 2.0.0-beta'
    pod 'PKHUD', '~> 4.0'
    pod '1PasswordExtension', '~> 1.8'
end

target 'MyAppKit' do
    pod 'Fuzi', '~> 1.0'
    pod 'RealmSwift', '~> 2.0'
    pod 'Alamofire', '~> 4.0'
    pod 'KeychainAccess', '~> 3.0'
    pod 'Result', '~> 3.0'

    target 'MyAppWidget' do
        inherit! :search_paths
    end
end

And that's it. I would say that the old behaviour was more obvious and didn't require reading up on "podfile target inheritance". I did learn a lot though. Cheers!

How to import a Cocoapod into an App Extension?

Check this pod file code as example, this pod file have 2 targets the app and the extension.

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
workspace 'MyWorkSpaceApp'

target 'MyApp' do

       pod 'SwiftyUserDefaults'
       pod 'Alamofire', '~> 4.0'
       pod 'AlamofireImage', '~> 3.1'
       #pod 'AlamofireNetworkActivityIndicator', '~> 2.0'
       #pod "youtube-ios-player-helper", "~> 0.1.6"
       #pod 'Alamofire-SwiftyJSON'
       pod 'SwiftyJSON', '~> 3.0.0'
       #pod 'SlideMenuControllerSwift'
       pod 'UIColor_Hex_Swift', '~> 3.0.2'
       #pod 'ALLoadingView', :git => 'https://github.com/ALoginov/ALLoadingView.git', :branch => 'swift3'
       pod 'SDWebImage', '~>3.8'
       #pod 'SwiftSpinner', :git => 'https://github.com/icanzilb/SwiftSpinner.git', :branch => 'swift3'
       #pod 'SideMenu'
       #pod 'Fabric'
       #pod 'Crashlytics'
       #pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift', '4.0.6'
       #pod 'AELog'
       #pod 'TestFairy'
       #pod "AwesomeCache", "~> 5.0"
       #pod 'Deviice'
       #pod 'MKDropdownMenu'
       #pod "HanekeSwift", :git => 'https://github.com/Haneke/HanekeSwift.git', :branch => 'feature/swift-3'
       pod 'OneSignal', '~> 2.4'

       post_install do |installer|
        puts("Update debug pod settings to speed up build time")
        Dir.glob(File.join("Pods", "**", "Pods*{debug,Private}.xcconfig")).each do |file|
            File.open(file, 'a') { |f| f.puts "\nDEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT = dwarf" }
        end
    end

       target 'MyAppExtension' do 
           pod 'OneSignal', '~> 2.4'
       end

end

I hope this helps you, best regards

Use Cocoapods with an App Extension

The proper way to do this is to update your podfile to add just 1 line :

link_with 'yourApp', 'yourAppExtension'

and a pod update should resolve the issue.

adding a pod to a universal framework library using cocoapods

Here is my whole procedure

1. crate a new swift app project.
2. create a new cocoa touch framework target.
3. in the project directory , run pod init

4. Tyr This Podfile

   # Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
   platform :ios, '9.0'
   
   target 'SOQ' do
     use_frameworks!
   end
   
   target 'SOQFW' do
     use_frameworks!
   end
   
   pod 'EVReflection'
   

after pod install, in both my two targets SOQ (swift app) and SOQFW (cocoa touch framework) can import EVReflection in *.swift and user class EVObject without a problem.

sample code is

import EVReflection

class User: EVObject {
    var id: Int = 0
    var name: String = ""
    var friends: [User]? = []
}

you can give it a try.

My development environment is os x 10.12 , xode 8.2.1 , cocoapods 1.1.1
