👋 Welcome to
pod-install

A fast, zero-dependency package for cutting down on common issues developers have when running pod install.

🚀 Usage

npx pod-install

👋 Notice: This package is not limited to native React projects, you can use it with any iOS or Xcode project using CocoaPods (like Ionic, or Flutter).

🤔 Why?

All native packages (especially those installed with NPM) often need to explain the following:

• What is CocoaPods.
• What is gem.
• How to install CocoaPods.
• cd into the proper directory before running pod install.
• You may need run pod repo update to fix your project.
• Why CocoaPods requires a darwin machine.

But now you can simply instruct users to run npx pod-install.

This package will do the following:

• Check if the machine is darwin.
  • If not then it'll quit with a helpful error message.
• Ensure CocoaPods CLI is installed on the machine.
  • If not then it'll try to install CocoaPods CLI, first with gem, then with homebrew.
• Check if there is an Xcode project in the current directory
  • If not then it'll try again in ios/ than macos/ directories (if any exists).
• Run pod install
  • If pod install fails because the repo is out of date, then it'll run pod repo update and try again.
