How do I use Cocoapods in an embedded framework?

Question

I\'m using an embedded framework for my custom views in a new project to take advantage of the new @IBDesignable stuff in Xcode 6 and I\'d like to animate said views with Facebo

Assuming in your Podfile you are using the link_with 'MyCustomFramework', where 'MyCustomFramework' is your embedded framework name, and have run pod install. Select your Project file (Blue on the top right) and go into "Build Settings". Then, find 'Allow non-modular includes in Framework Modules' and set it to YES, for both the Project file (blue) and the Custom Framework target (ex. MyCustomFramework - orange "lunchbox case" icon).

Then you can include cocoa pods stuff in your main MyCustomFramework.h file.

Then just import '@import MyCustomFramework;' in your Application target, and you'll get the rest of the CocoaPods at your disposal. (Ex. showing you access to 'each' from ObjectiveSugar).

Whether you should do this or not is a separate issue, but this allows your Custom Framework to include the CocoaPods libraries in itself, which then allows the Application target to just include your Custom Framework and gets all the CocoaPods as well.

Sorry for the multiple images, but I like to be visual.
