How to handle two projects in Xcode8?

Question

I have two projects called Project A and Project B. Both projects have different pod files.

Now I want to add Project B into Project A. So my Project A is final code and I want to use a Project B files in Project A and vice versa. So How can I achieve it in Xcode8?

Answer 1

Create a workspace with both Projects A and B.

When you write your POD file, you can set the workspace file, the project file and the build target.

For example:

project '../Source/Rnd_Lab(iOS).xcodeproj/'
workspace 'RND(iOS).xcworkspace/'

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'RND' do
  # Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
  # use_frameworks!

  # Pods for RND
  pod 'Firebase/Core'
  pod 'Firebase/Auth'
  pod 'Firebase/Storage'

end

Targets the Rnd_Lab(iOS).xcodeproj project in a completely other directory and sets the pods to target RND . Then, it writes all of these settings to the specified RND(iOS).xcworkspace . This workspace is the one you would have already setup with projects A and B.
