There are already several SO questions that address this issue, but I haven't found one that completes addresses my situation.
I have projects X, Y, and Z, that all share a common framework C. The projects and the framework all use Cocoapods. I would ideally have three separate Xcode projects that all include the common framework C. So I would have, X+C, Y+C, and Z+C. Then, when I push X+C, I want it to push the changes of X to repository X, and the changes of C to repository C. I would also like to be able to pull changes from C into X, Y, or Z. I would like to work on framework from within project X, Y, or Z, and debug the framework from each of the projects X, Y, or Z.
Is this currently possible? I know there is the concept of submodules, but it doesn't sound very robust (likely to fail with branches).
Yes it's possible with pods. You can create private framework C.
If you define path for your C framework in podfile for your projects then the framework will be generated as development pods and you can debug and edit it.
'C', :path => './C/Source')
You can use relative path. Also you can define framework in this same git repository or add submodule for your git repository project
