Add cocoapods to existing project - ios

I know this have been asked multiple times, but I still couldn't find the right answer.
I have a project (React Native) that already has a lot of code, lots of dependencies, xcode tweaks, etc. Far away from a vanilla project.
I want to add cocoa pods to it because some third party library can only be installed with it. However, I can't find anywhere information about if I need to "migrate" all my third party packages as well to cocoa pods (move all the linked dependencies there), or is it enough to create a fresh pod file with just those two new dependencies, and everything else should work just fine.

Install CocoaPods on System
Step.1 Open Terminal and enter the following command:
sudo gem install cocoapods
Create Podfile for Project
Step.2 now you need to close Xcode.
Open Terminal at project's root folder
Step.3 Next, enter below command to create podfile:
pod init
Edit podfile
Note: Make sure we will edit podfile with Xcode not TextEdit etc.
Step.4 Type this command to open the Podfile using Xcode for editing:
open -a Xcode Podfile
Step.5 update pode file what you want.
for example
pod 'SwiftForms'
when you add this line it wii installing at next step :)
let's go for install
Step.5 Enter the following command in Terminal and hit Enter
pod install
Thats it!! we have done.
Open Project with pods
Now go to the project folder,we can see that CocoaPods created a new project_name.xcworkspace file and a Pods folder.
open project_name.xcworkspace with xcode

This article has the answer I needed in a very similar situation: https://medium.com/#soufianerafik/how-to-add-pods-to-an-xcode-project-2994aa2abbf1
Essentially this:
install Cocoapods, if needed
terminal to your project root
pod init
pod install

Issue with CocoaPods

hi Iam new to iOS and i am trying to use CVCalender for custom calendar https://github.com/CVCalendar/CVCalendar#-cocoapods-
and i am try to install the cocoa pods but its getting error,
But i have muly cocopods in my file is these are use full or i need to delete these things as shown in image
can any one help me to how to install coacoa pods sucessfully and install cvcalender
after adding delegates also showing same error
1.Open terminal
sudo gem install cocoapods
2.Setup the cocoapods master repo
pod setup
download the master repo. The size is big approx 370.0MB
3.Create xcode project and select root directory in terminal.
cd "your XCode project root directory"
4.Then type
pod init
5.Then open your project's podfile by typing in terminal
open -a Xcode Podfile
6.Add your project's dependencies in open text podfile.
**for ex.** pod 'CVCalendar', '~> 1.5.2'
7.Then install pods into your project by typing in terminal
pod install
Now close your xcode project and open .xcworkspace xcode project file.
Happy Coding.

Cocoa Pod File In Red

Does anyone know why in the navigator of my Xcode project my Pods.xcodeproj file is listed in red? I am assuming that means Xcode cannot find the file so how do I make sure it actually does exist in the project.
Thanks!
run pod install in your workspace directory. It will install all the dependencies for you.
Do the usual Xcode fix stuff e.g. delete derived data and clean the project. Then, in Terminal, go to the directory that contains your Podfile. Once there, run these commands:
$ pod deintegrate
$ pod install
First you need to install cocoa pods on your Mac. For that you need to go cocoapods.org
If you want to uninstall cocoa pods then refer this ans.
So first remove cocoa pods from your project and then install again.
Make sure you open workspace .xcworkspace not .xcodeproj project file.

The Podfile does not contain any dependencies [duplicate]

I'm doing the Ray Wenderlich tutorial called SimpleWeather.
The podfile is in the same folder as the project.
Here's my code from the podfile:
platform :ios, '7.0'
xcodeproj 'SimpleWeather'
pod 'Mantle'
pod 'LBBlurredImage'
pod 'TSMessages'
pod 'ReactiveCocoa'
The error message is this: [!] Unable to find the Xcode project /Users/myName/Developer/SimpleWeather.xcodeproj for the target Pods.
The name of the project is SimpleWeather.
I'm pretty sure you are not in the right directory. Are you sure your .xcodeproj is in the Developer folder? There might be a subfolder you need to navigate to.
The right way to enable CocoaPods in your Project is:
Open Terminal and execute: $ sudo gem install cocoapods
Navigate to your Project folder (I assume in your case it's cd /Users/myName/Developer/SimpleWeather/SimpleWeather.xcodeproj).
Setup Cocoapod pod setup
Create the Podfile touch Podfile
Open the Podfile open -e Podfile and insert your code for Podfile
Finally install the Podfile pod install
If you follow this instructions everything should work. When opening your project make sure to open the .xworkspacefile.
For more information, see this.
This error also occurs when you have multiple .xcodeproj in your Xcode project.
You don't need more than one .xcodeproj in general cases. Remove unnecessary .xcodeproj, and Cocoapods should get the correct path automatically afterwards.
Reiterating our original conversation:
Accordingly to Podfile Syntax Reference the Podfile looks right.
Make sure you are running $pod install from your project directory:
/Users/myName/Developer/SimpleWeather
Hey your path for the project might be wrong. Go to the project and right click on SimpleWeather.xcodeproj and select Get Info as show in the image below(The right side window is for Get Info here). Copy this path from the details window and paste it into the Podfile. After that append /SimpleWeather.xcodeproj to that pasted path. This might solve the problem(Note: It is a snap shot for my project). In your case the solution might be replacing the path with this /Users/myName/Developer/SimpleWeather/SimpleWeather.xcodeproj
To solve this issue, just follow below steps and your issue will get resolved :
Step 1 : Open Terminal and navigate to your project folder
Step 2 : touch podfile
Step 3 : open -e Podfile
Step 4 : Write below line in your text edit and close it
workspace '/Users/systemName/Developer/yourprojectname/yourprojectname.xcworkspace'
Step 5 : Pod install
And after successful process, you will not get this error again.

Maybe you have two project .xcodeproj, remove one.
Remove Podfile.lock, folder Pods. On Terminal cd /Users/myName/Developer/SimpleWeather and pod install
For people who are on Mac and also using code editors, the duplicate file that is causing this issue is ._projectname.xcodeproj because it has the same extension as the regular .xcodeproj files.
I had the same problem.
Then with many attempts of trials and errors I finally got the working solution:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
target 'SimpleWeather'
pod 'Alamofire', '~> 3.4'
This works when you are in your project directory (I assume you should navigate using terminal to /Users/myName/Developer/SimpleWeather/)
You installed your Xcode..in application use this command to execute
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app
so okay i had tried every possible thing ...i had only one .xcodeproj file
but sill i couldnt install so finally i had tried with the following
1. open terminal cd to your project folder one with .xcodeproj
2. type pod init
3. type touch Podfile
4. type pod install
Magic happens and your pod files gets installed
Check your Podfile for the following lines
config = use_native_modules!
use_react_native!(:path => config["reactNativePath"])
under
target '<project_name>' do
Hopefully this answer can be useful in times of many people using SPM. My case was the following: I had a binary framework package that had to be converted to the cocoapod, together with it's dependency tree. In the git repository where the package lived, the .gitignore file contained this line: /*.xcodeproj. This meant that even though everything worked fine locally, whenever the CI tried to run pod install it failed.

Integarte/Install cocoapods to existing xcode project, objective-c or swift

I was looking for integrating cocoapods to my existing xcode projects.
I found these few post but they are based on issue instead my problem.
not able to acess installed pods framework
How to add cocoapods to existing workspace not project (this one is for work-space not project)
Making a CocoaPod from an existing Xcode project (this one is more on integrating swift with objective c project)
So I spending quality time i did for my project.
I am sharing step by step integration in my answer post.
please feel free to suggest and improvement.
happy to learn and share

Now we have added our required lib/framework pod command
pod 'SwiftForms'
let's go for install
Step.5 Enter the following command in Terminal and hit Enter
pod install
Result screen
Thats it!! we have done.
Open Project with pods
Now go to the project folder,we can see that CocoaPods created a new project_name.xcworkspace file and a Pods folder.
open project_name.xcworkspace with xcode
your project structure should look like
