RoboPods

RoboPods are high-quality RoboVM code libraries and bindings for the most popular 3rd party services like social media integration, ad networks or crash reporting. Just add a RoboPod dependency to your project and you are ready-to-go!

Do you want to add in-app-purchases, display dialogs, or just store some preferences in your app in a cross-platform way? Look no further, RoboPods Plugins are here to help! The RoboPods Plugins are cross-platform libraries that abstract platform specific functionality to a common API. Add the dependencies to your project and start coding without thinking about platform-specific implementations!

Usage

A RoboPod comes in form of a simple JAR file published to Maven Central so you can easily integrate it with Maven or Gradle. Just add a depencency to your Maven or Gradle build files and you are ready to go!

Versioning

It is recommended that you define the RoboPods version number globally in your build system, so you can refer to that when adding dependencies.

Gradle

In your project's root build.gradle file add the following at the top of the buildscript section:

buildscript {
   project.ext.robopodsVersion = "1.14.0"
}

When you add a dependency, you can refer to the variable like this:

dependencies {
   ... other dependencies ...
   compile "org.robovm:robopods-facebook-ios:$robopodsVersion"
}

Maven

In your project's root pom.xml file add the following property:

<properties>
   <robopods.version>1.14.0</robopods.version>
</properties>

When you add a dependency, you can refer to the variable like this:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.robovm</groupId>
   <artifactId>robopods-facebook-ios</artifactId>
   <version>${robopods.version}</version>
</dependency>

Current versions

The RoboPods follow the same versioning as the core of RoboVM. To prevent compatibility issues make sure that you use the same version for the RoboPods and RoboVM.

The current stable version is:

1.14.0

If you want to use the latest and greatest of every RoboPod, use the latest snapshot version for your dependencies:

1.14.1-SNAPSHOT
