Dealing with Alcatraz and CocoaPods

[angerman]

I think this is a two part problem. See also the issue here: https://github.com/supermarin/Alcatraz/issues/140

Should alcatraz allow cocoa pods dependencies? If so KFCocoaPodsPlugin should not change. If alcatraz though should not depend on CocoaPods, KFCocoaPodsPlugin would need to change to include the Pods in the repo such that running cocoa pods is not required.

In anycase https://github.com/supermarin/Alcatraz/issues/140 must be resolved first, as KFCocoaPodsPlugin depends on being built as a workspace.

There is a conversation about how to deal with the situation at https://github.com/supermarin/alcatraz-packages/pull/69.

Great thanks! I didn't see that one. As is, it mean we cannot install KFCocoaPodsPlugin through Alcatraz right?

[ricobeck]

Yes, sad but true. I hope there will be a solution soon.

@ricobeck i recommend vendoring stuff manually (at least in a branch) for now, and avoiding CocoaPods until we support binary distribution. I'll put it on the priority list.
