.podspec

[ttahmouch]

We have a native iOS application that contains CDVViewControllers. It was not generated using the cordova create CLI.

We would like to be able to depend on phonegap/phonegap-plugin-contentsync using Cocoapods much like the Embedding the Webview example demonstrates for apache/cordova-plugin-* plugins here.

Any intention of releasing a .podspec for phonegap-plugin-contentsync analogous to that of cordova-plugin-camera found here?

[purplecabbage]

Yeah, this is in the works. No specific timeline yet.

[ttahmouch]

I just created pull request #152 as an example of changes that may be necessary to support Cocoapods with this plugin.

Let me know your thoughts.

@ttahmouch thanks for the PR and issue. @hollyschinsky and I were just talking about this last week.

@ttahmouch @hollyschinsky can you take a look at this PR on CocoaPods/Specs to make sure I've got it right: CocoaPods/Specs#14215

[ttahmouch]

I cloned your fork, i.e., macdonst/Specs, and checked out branch contentsync.

I looked at the difference between 1.2.5.cocoapods and 1.3.0 .podspecs as shown below. It appears the only changes are the version of the .podspec, and the version of the tagged release. I believe that is everything I expected would change if pull request #152 was merged.

It appears CocoaPods/Specs#14215 was closed as they do not accept pull requests to that repository. I uploaded my .podspec with pod trunk push phonegap-plugin-contentsync.podspec as documented here.

If you run into problems publishing the .podspec because of ownership claims, you should be able to resolve the claim here.

Looks good. Good work, @macdonst . 👍

I just noticed a small problem with the way I had originally written the .podspec. I didn't know at the time what iOS Deployment Target to specify so I just didn't specify a target.

However, now when you pod install phonegap-plugin-contentsync, it defaults the iOS Deployment Target to 4.3. This causes a problem when compiling ContentSync.m with usages of __weak. This should be easily addressable with the following.

phonegap-plugin-contentsync.podspec.json

"platforms": { "ios": "8.0" }

phonegap-plugin-contentsync.podspec

spec.platform = :ios, '8.0'

Here is the Ruby formatted .podspec I published with pod trunk push phonegap-plugin-contentsync.podspec. It got transcoded to phonegap-plugin-contentsync.podspec.json during the push.

Here is the .podspec syntax reference for the platform field.

@ttahmouch awesome, I dealt with some Ruby craziness this morning and will hopefully be able to publish a pod today or tomorrow.

[ttahmouch]

Did you have any issues attempting to publish the 1.3.0 .podspec, @macdonst ?

[macdonst]

@ttahmouch only lack of time because of other work but I've got this on my radar this week.
