cocoapods-develop

cocoapods-develop makes it easy to develop pods without switching workspaces.

$ gem install cocoapods-develop

Add cocoapods-develop to your Podfile:

plugin 'cocoapods-develop'

When you want to start development work on one of your project's pod dependencies, add this:

pod_develop AwesomePod, '/path/to/project'

All subsequent references to AwesomePod in the Podfile will then be interpreted as development pods.

In addition, the Xcode project for AwesomePod will be added to your workspace. Because the project will be added to your workspace, the default CocoaPods behavior of sharing the development pod scheme will be overriden.

If you have the development pod's project open in another workspace, Xcode will complain -- it can't open multiple versions of the same project simultaneously.

Any changes to existing files will be reflected immediately when you build.

If you add or delete files to the development pod, you must re-run pod install for those changes to be reflected.
