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?

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
