Making a CocoaPod from an existing Xcode project

$ pod spec create YourProject$ edit YourProject.podspec

Then in editor replace s.source_files = "Classes", "Classes/**/*.{h,m}" with

s.source_files = "Classes/**/*.{swift}"

Then run until you pass all tests..

$ pod spec lint YourProject.podspec

Thats basically all.

You can test this Podspec in real life by creating a new demo app and follow the 9 steps from Anbu.Karthik.

In the created podfile add something like:

pod 'YourProject', :path => '/Users/you/work/YourProject'

The path should point to the dir containing the podspec file. Run pod install again.

Easy steps to create Cocoapod from existing xcode project

Create a repository on your git account (Repo name, check README,choose MIT under license).
Copy the url of your repository.Open terminal and run following command.
git clone copied your repository url
Now copy your Xcode project inside the cloned repository folder onyour Mac. Now run following commands
git add -u to add all files (if not added use: git add filepath/folder)
git commit -m "your custom message"
git push origin master
Create a new release to go to your git repository or run following commands
git tag 1.0.0
git push --tags
First, we need to make sure that you have CocoaPods installed andready to use in your Terminal. run the following command:
sudo gem install cocoapods --pre

Creating a Podspec

All Pods have a podspec file. A podspec, as its name suggests,defines the specifications of the Pod! Now let’s make one, runfollowing command on terminal
touch PodName.podspec
After adding and modifying your .podspec file. Validate your .podspecfile by hitting following command on terminal
pod lib lint
Once you validate it successfully without errors run followingcommand to register you and build cocoapod respectively
pod trunk register
pod trunk push PodName.podspec

If all goes well, you will get this on terminal
