Adding a Cocoapod to a Cocoapod

Question

I am creating my own custom library and I want to implement a QR Code Reader in it.

My plan was to add a QR Code reader cocoapod to my library, but I am struggling to do that.

Any tips?

why need to add extra dependencies? you can easily create QR code scanner using AVFoundation no need to add in a cocoa pod. — user9106403

You can certainly do this. You add the other pod as a dependency of your own pod in the podspec file.

e.g. spec.dependency 'MyQRCodeReaderPod', '~> 1.0'

That makes sense. Now that its in my podspec file though, do I have to import it? I cannot seem to utilize it in my code.

You'll probably need to do a pod install to make sure all dependencies of your pod are installed.

@CalebRudnicki you will need to import the other pod into your current pod where you want to use it
