Run the
pod install

commands. Once all of the pod data is downloaded / updated, Xcode project workspace file will be created. This is the file you must open when working on your app. -
Open .xcworkspace file to launch your project.
To create a new project with CocoaPods, follow the instructions below:
- Create a new project in Xcode as you would normally, then close the project.
- Open a Terminal window, and $ cd into your project directory.
- Create a Podfile. This can be done by running
pod init
. - Open your Podfile with a text editor, and add the following:
pod 'Backendless'
- Save Podfile, return to Terminal window and run
pod install
andpod update
. Once all of the pod data is downloaded/updated, Xcode project workspace file will be created. This is the file you must open when working on your app. - Open .xcworkspace file to launch your project.
- If you use Swift, it is necessary to add a bridging header file. Navigate to "Build Settings -> Swift Compiler ... -> Objective-C Bridging Header" and add the following:
${PODS_ROOT}/Headers/Public/Backendless/Backendless-Bridging-Header.h
