Summary: Information and Release Notes about the CocoaPods project discoverer, specifically for use with the com.castsoftware.swift and com.castsoftware.cfamily extensions.

Extension ID

com.castsoftware.dmtcocoapodsdiscoverer

What's new?

See CocoaPods Discoverer - 1.0 - Release Notes.

Description

This extension is a project discoverer for https://cocoapods.org/ based projects: delivered source code will be searched for podfile files - each podfile file is equivalent to one "project". Source code is also searched for *.podsec files, which are CocoaPods profile files used by podfile project files: when one is found, the contents are inspected and are used to determine the list of projects present in the root folder. For each discovered project (with source code) one Analysis Unit is created (an item that defines the source code analysis perimeter).

This extension is for use with the iOS - Objective-C and iOS - Swift extensions - and is designed to automatically create CocoaPods related Analysis Units. The CocoaPods discoverer is not a dependency of the com.castsoftware.swift and com.castsoftware.cfamily extensions, therefore it must be downloaded/installed manually in CAST Imaging Console before it can be used.
