写Swift用Cocoapods兼容IOS7

在Medium上写了篇文章(原文)转到这里，想来也不会有人读，索性就不翻译了。

This is for Swift cocoapods with IOS 7, if you don’t need to support IOS 7, you can close this page now.

About half year ago, I started working on an iOS project writing in Swift language. One problem I was facing is swift pods with iOS 7. (Although I didn’t even want to drop support of iOS 6)

Of course, there’re already some solutions on google search. This one I like it most: https://medium.com/ios-os-x-development/how-to-use-swift-cocoapods-and-still-support-ios-7-0-f9dc29b3628b, and I agree with his words: ‘git submodules are serious pain’. (that’s the solution I was using before I found this) For who don’t want to click the link, I give briefly summarise: (I suggest you to read it though)

The idea is separate main cocoapods into main pods and swift pods, put swift pods into a dump project (I call it SwiftLibrariesPods) inside your main project folder.

Purpose:

The idea is good but I think I can refine it for automation.

1. I don’t need to manually copy the files from SwiftLibrariesPods to main project, error friendly
2. Saving time, build process friendly

What need to do:

1. run ‘pod update’ in SwiftLibrariesPods project
2. filter and copy groups
3. filter and copy files
4. add files to build targets

Steps:

1. Create a project SwiftLibrariesPods inside your main project folder, choose add to your main workspace (you can drag to your workspace as well).
2. Run ‘pod int’, ‘pod install’ in your SwiftLibrariesPods project
3. Add Pods folder to your SwiftLibrariesPods project
4. add platform :ios, ‘8.0’, use_frameworks! to your Podfile inside your SwiftLibrariesPods project
5. add a Swift pod to your SwiftLibrariesPods Podfile (For example: pod ‘AlamofireDomain’, ‘= 1.3.2’)
6. Run ‘pod update’ inside your SwiftLibrariesPods folder

 

now your project should looks like this:

Continue steps:

1. Add Update.sh and Forkman.rb to SwiftLibrariesPods project root folder
2. Add new group ‘SwiftPodsLibraries’ to your main project
3. Make sure you install Xcodeproj $ [sudo] gem install xcodeproj
4. Configs for Forkman.rb:

 

Now open terminal go SwiftLibrariesPods project root folder run:

sh Update.sh

 

Now Forkman copied all Swift pods source code to your main project.

At last:

You can create your own pod to add namespace to Alamofire. Change Forkman parameters to work on your existing projects. Full project at https://github.com/tonyli508/ForkmanForSwiftPodsWithIOS7.
