iOS Cocoapods for just myself

[erdinc27]

I want to create a cocoapod but i dont want it to be public. Only me should use it. So private cocoapods is suitable for my aim or should i create Framework ? Which one is better ? What i want to do is when i send my project to customer or to anybody else then i dont want my classes cant be seen. I mean my special classes. What can i do to hide my code ? Any help will be appreciated.

A framework is definitely what you want. You can even make it so that the framework will only work for a given app Id, and throws an exception if the app ID isn't correct.

Actually i thought it so but my boss wants the code to be updated so by that way cocoapod looks suitable also. I read something about private cocoapods but i am not sure if it hides the code like framework does.

I would just do both. Make a framework and upload the framework to cocoapods. Make sure the private implementation files check the app ID to make sure only the correct apps are using the framework. That should be both very secure and easily updatable for your clients.

i will try it. Thank you for your answer. But what i want to know is a framework can be uploaded to cocoapods by itself or should i embed the framework i created in a project and upload it to cocoapods by that way ?

Hey guys. Maybe u remember before i asked about private cocoapods. What i wanted to do is to hide my custom classes's .m files. do i have to create a private pod for it or is there any other way to realize it ?
Any help will be appreciated.
