A CocoaPods plugin that integrates pods as prebuilt frameworks instead of source code, controlled by a simple flag in the Podfile. It compiles pod sources during pod install and swaps them for binaries to dramatically reduce Xcode compile times.

Use cases

  • speed up iOS build times with many pods
  • precompile CocoaPods dependencies into frameworks
  • reduce Xcode indexing and compile time
  • switch between source and binary pods easily
  • use binary dependencies without switching to Carthage

When to choose

  • your Podfile has dozens of pods and compilation is slow
  • you want per-pod or all-binary control with one flag
  • you prefer CocoaPods dependency management over Carthage

When to avoid

  • your project doesn't use use_frameworks! dynamic frameworks
  • you need to debug or step into pod source code frequently
  • you rely on very new CocoaPods versions the plugin may not support
