Podfile with iOS and OSX Support

Question

I'm trying to setup CocoaPods with a legacy project which has both iOS and a OSX targets.

If, at the top of my Podfile, I specify:

platform :osx, '10.9' 

and, as an example, specify a pod like CorePlot:

pod 'CorePlot' 

Then, after a pod update, I see Mac specific sources in my Pods directory:

Pods/CorePlot/framework/MacOnly 

which is okay, except that if I were to specify :ios as the platform then I see:

Pods/CorePlot/framework/iPhoneOnly 

and I do not see the MacOnly directory.

CorePlot's podspec specifies these directories based on the platform, which is why they are showing up differently based on the platform I select. However, I would like to be able to have my Podfile work for my iOS and OSX targets.

I continued and thought perhaps I could specify the platform based on the target in my project, and omit the top level platform declaration:

target "OSX" do   platform :osx, '10.9' end  target "iOS" do   platform :ios, '7.0' end 

However, once I again do a pod update now I get a version compatibility error:

[!] The platform of the target Pods (OS X ) is not compatible with CorePlot (1.5.1) which has a minimum requirement of iOS 3.1.3 - OS X 10.5."

Which would seem to indicate that CocoaPods is not recognizing the version information in my target block.

And, if I add a platform to the top level, in addition to the target specific platform, I then get only the code for whichever platform the top level platform indicated.

Am I forced to have two separate projects? One for iOS and one for Mac OS X, or is there a way to do this?

Many thanks,

Levi

Based on https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/2043#issuecomment-59295308

def import_pods     pod 'CorePlot' end  target :ios do     platform :ios, '7.0'     import_pods end  target :osx do     platform :osx, '10.9'     import_pods end

You could use abstract_targets to separate pods by platform:

use_frameworks!  # Common pods pod ...  abstract_target 'Mobile' do      platform :ios, '13.0'      # Common pods for mobile   pod ...      target 'My iOS App' do          # Target specific pods     pod ...        end    end  abstract_target 'Mac' do      platform :osx, '11.0'    # Common Mac pods   pod ...      target 'My Mac App' do    # Target specific pods        end    end
