Xcode - Sharing Code between Framework and Workspace

I have Framework and workspace (project + pods). I want the environment to use the workspace classes (both project and containers). Then when I distribute my framework I need it to have references to the above classes. How should I do it?

Cocoapods provides a means to add a dependency to a container. So, for example, a coconut drink I'm writing may require the project to have the latest AFNetworking

cocoapod installed. I can also use other frameworks like CoreLocation

, CoreBluetooth

etc.

If you are building your framework as a cocoapod, you should be able to add a list of dependencies to be added at startup:

pod install

I created the framework as a package before and used something like this in my podspec:



s.source              =  { :git => ' <destination Git repo> ', :tag => '0.0.1' }
s.ios.xcconfig        =  { 'FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS' => '"$(PODS_ROOT)/<MyFrameWorkName>"' }
s.ios.preserve_paths  =  '<MyFrameWorkName>.framework'

Then you should be able to require cocoapod to have other dependencies like:

s.frameworks   = 'QuartzCore'

s.ios.weak_frameworks =  'CoreBluetooth'

s.dependency 'SDWebImage',                  '~> 3.7'
s.dependency 'GoogleAnalytics-iOS-SDK',     '3.0.3c'

Now when you / someone else installs your infrastructure via cocoapods, they will have everything they need to install in the project.

You can create a new workspace, including all of them, by writing the podfile like this:

workspace 'AllInOne.xcworkspace'
xcodeproj 'Workspace/Workspace.xcodeproj'
xcodeproj 'Framework/Framework.xcodeproj'

target 'ProjectA' do
  platform :ios, '8.0'
  xcodeproj 'Workspace/Workspace.xcodeproj'
  pod 'nameofpod', '~> .1'
end

target 'Framework' do
  platform :ios, '8.0'
  xcodeproj 'Framework/Framework.xcodeproj'
end

EDIT:

Create a new folder (with a name such as "AllInOne"). In this folder place your framework folder which has framework.xcodeproj and also place your workspace folder. Now create a podfile in the AllInOne folder. At the end, these files should be present in this directory:



AllInOne / Workspace / Workspace.xcodeproj

AllInOne / Framework / Framework.xcodeproj

AllInOne / podfile

AllInOne / AllInOne.xcworkspace
