A CocoaPods plugin that generates a plist which includes the installation metadata. It supports generating two styles of dependency information.
-
Settings.bundle compatible plist - This format is supported by a large amount of pods and works with Apple's Settings.app.
-
Full Podspec metadata plist - This format provides more information to the app allowing for deeper introspection, currently only CPDAcknowledgements works with this format.
Install via gem install cocoapods-acknowledgements you need to be using at least CocoaPods 0.36 and add plugin 'cocoapods-acknowledgements' to your Podfile. See below for examples:
For showing your own UI inside your application:
plugin 'cocoapods-acknowledgements'For embedding a Settings.bundle compatible plist
plugin 'cocoapods-acknowledgements', :settings_bundle => trueWith a Settings.bundle compatible plist, offering the chance to run post-processing on the plist ( to add non-CocoaPods dependencies for example )
plugin 'cocoapods-acknowledgements', :settings_bundle => true , :settings_post_process => Proc.new { |settings_plist_path, umbrella_target|
puts settings_plist_path
puts umbrella_target.cocoapods_target_label
}The plugin will search through your project files to find a Settings.bundle file, and add the file to the bundle. If this is not enough for you, we'd love a PR.
You can exclude some dependencies so they won't be added to the generated plists. This is useful when you don't want to add private dependencies.
plugin 'cocoapods-acknowledgements', :settings_bundle => true, :exclude => 'PrivateKit'
plugin 'cocoapods-acknowledgements', :settings_bundle => true, :exclude => ['PrivateKit', 'SecretLib']You can also specify a list of targets for which to generate acknowledgements. This can be useful to exclude test or extension targets.
plugin 'cocoapods-acknowledgements', :targets => ['MyApp']The plist generated by this plugin is located under the root of your Pods directory.
