4. WHAT IS COCOAPODS?
Users install a Ruby gem
Developers provide recipes, for building
libraries through Xcode, called Podspecs
Users write a list of dependencies in a
Podfile
CocoaPods pulls in externals to your
project with as little changes to your
project as possible

It’s not Open-Source unless it has an OSI
approved license
Without any license, you are not allowed

Most developers ANAL, they won’t bother

27. ITERATIVE DEPENDENCY RESOLVER
Create a recursive dependency graph,
looking through history
This means that very complex
dependencies can be automated
