iOS Engineer, Marty Burolla, breaks down the popular dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C projects, most commonly known as CocoaPods.
Not 100% sure what a dependency manager is? Don't worry. Marty gives a solid overview of these programs, before diving headfirst into why CocoaPods is so popular among the iOS developer community.
We won't spoil it for you, but Marty references various factors, including the ability to simply run a “pod install” in a terminal window, the large variety of pods available in the main CocoaPods repository, and the freedom that developers have to create their own pods.
