CocoaPods

CocoaPods
• CocoaPods-Core

Minor Enhancements

• The specification now strips the indentation of the prefix_header and
  prepare_command to aide their declaration as a here document (similarly to
  what it already does with the description).
  Fabio Pelosin
  Core#51

Bug Fixes

• Fix linting for Pods which declare a private repo as the source.
  Boris Bügling
  Core#82

CocoaPods

Enhancements

• Radically reduce first run pod setup bandwidth by creating a shallow clone of
  the ‘master’ repo by default. Use the --no-shallow option to perform a full
  clone instead.
  Jeff Verkoeyen
  #1803
• Improves the error message when searching with an invalid regular expression.
  Kyle Fuller
• Improves pod init to save Xcode project file in Podfile when one was supplied.
  Kyle Fuller
• Adds functionality to specify a template URL for the pod lib create command.
  Piet Brauer

Bug Fixes

• Fixes a bug with pod repo remove silently handling permission errors.
  Kyle Fuller
  #1778
• pod push now properly checks that the repo has changed before attempting
  to commit. This only affected pods with special characters (such as +) in
  their names.
  Gordon Fontenot
  #1739

CocoaPods
• CocoaPods-core
• cocoapods-downloader

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

CocoaPods
• CocoaPods-core
• CLAide

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

  #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.
  Joshua Kalpin
  #1567
• Gists are now correctly accepted with https.
  Joshua Kalpin
  Core#38
• The pod push command is now more specific about the branch it pushes to.
  orta
  #1561
• Dtrace files are now properly left unflagged when installing, regardless of configuration.
  Swizzlr
  #1560
• 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

CocoaPods
• cocoapods-core
• Xcodeproj

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

CocoaPods
• cocoapods-core
• Xcodeproj

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

CocoaPods
• cocoapods-core
• Xcodeproj

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

CocoaPods
• cocoapods-core
• Xcodeproj

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

• Ensure resource bundles are copied to installation location on install actions
  Chris Gummer
  #1364

• Various bugfixes in Xcodeproj, refer to its CHANGELOG
  for details.

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.
  Fred McCann
  cocoapods-downloader#4

Bug Fixes

• User defined build configurations are now added to the resource bundle
  targets.
  #1309

CocoaPods

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

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.

  #1168

CocoaPods
• cocoapods-core
• Xcodeproj

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

CocoaPods

0.21.0.rc1

CocoaPods
• cocoapods-core
• Xcodeproj

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

CocoaPods

• 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

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.

CocoaPods

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.

CocoaPods
• cocoapods-core

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
