CocoaPods, the Objective-c Dependency Manager we've been Waiting for
summary
CocoaPods claims to be the Objective‑C dependency manager that ended manual dragging and per‑file build tweaks by automating downloads from git/zip/HTTP, resolving versions into a single Podfile.lock, generating an external Xcode workspace and per‑pod XCConfig build settings, and validating pods server‑side. The project runs as Ruby gems (installed via gem), supports development pods (local editable forks), and already shows scale: about 1,400 contributors, ~2,300 libraries, ~6,000 podspecs and ~4,000 pull requests over two years, and it demonstrably works in production.
