cocoapods

brew install cocoapods v1.16.2_2 MIT

Ruby package manager for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS Cocoa projects.

Why you might care

CocoaPods resolves and installs Objective-C and Swift dependencies declared in a Podfile, managing transitive deps and integrating libraries into Xcode projects. Essential for iOS/macOS development workflows; if your project uses CocoaPods (via Podfile), you need this to fetch and link dependencies.
