Installing CocoaPods and AWS Mobile iOS SDK

Question

I followed these instructions: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/mobile/sdkforios/developerguide/install-ios-sdk.html

But I still get all these missing dependencies: http://screencast.com/t/o2oaYFctzg

How do I fix this?

Instrumentalist

which file you are opening after pod setup? are you working on .xcworkspace? – Erin

yes i am using that file – Instrumentalist

Answer 1

So I had issues with this for a while too. A bit confusing if it is your first dependency manager.

So open up terminal and follow these steps:

1. gem --help to check if you have RubyGems. If not go HERE

2. sudo gem install cocoapods IT TAKES A WHILE, be patient, it will go

3. Now, once that's done, cd into your directory where your .xcodeproj is

4. Create your Podfile: nano Podfile NO extension

5. Include your packages pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.0' for instance

And all your AWS packages:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
pod 'AWSCore'
pod 'AWSAutoScaling'
pod 'AWSCloudWatch'
pod 'AWSDynamoDB'
pod 'AWSEC2'
pod 'AWSElasticLoadBalancing'
pod 'AWSKinesis'
pod 'AWSLambda'
pod 'AWSMachineLearning'
pod 'AWSMobileAnalytics'
pod 'AWSS3'
pod 'AWSSES'
pod 'AWSSimpleDB'
pod 'AWSSNS'
pod 'AWSSQS'
pod 'AWSCognito'

6. Exit and save from nano CTRL+X

7. pod install

8. Open your .xcworkspace

strangely if i do a clean project still get the red files but build succeeds so I'll start from there – Instrumentalist

Ya that is common with Cocoapods if you have them linked. Basically a workspace encompasses two xcode projects. One for your project development, and one for all the frameworks your pods install. You should be able to still build this. Dont forget you reference it like: #import "AWSCore.h" and not #import <AWSCore/AWSCore.h> – Assess

No problem, I suppose a better solution to your comment would be, hit CMD + SHIFT + K to clean up the project, if those files get 'found' (which they won't) erase those red files because they're useless. Make sure the pods project is in there and it should be good to go. Hit up my email and I can send a read to go project folder to you. – Assess
