I have recently been working with Cocoapods on my own projects, and would like to incorporate a couple of pods into a project at work. The problem is that our code consists of close to 20 projects stored inside a large workspace, sorted into folders. The structure of the projects is
I am unsure how to write a podfile that would link a pod (RETableView in this case) against an app without disturbing the existing structure of the workspace? Is this even possible? If it isn't possible to incorporate cocoapods without changing the existing workspace, is it possible to set up cocoapods to compile pods as standalone libraries that I could incorporate into our project?
With CocoaPods 1.x you can use :integrate_targets => false in your Podfile like this:
install! :integrate_targets => false
You can find the documentation for this here
Previously (for older CocoaPods versions):
After creating your Podfile use pod install --no-integrate documented here. This will create the Pods project that you can then include in your workspace. Please make sure everything in your project is checked into your version control system first just in case anything goes wrong.
