A CocoaPods plugin that generates a framework or static library from a podspec. It lets iOS library authors distribute their Pods as prebuilt binaries to developers who don't use CocoaPods.

Use cases

• generate a static library from a podspec
• package an iOS pod as a framework for non-CocoaPods users
• distribute a closed-source SDK built from CocoaPods sources
• mangle symbols when packaging a pod to avoid conflicts
• build a prebuilt binary of my library for distribution

When to choose

• you develop CocoaPods libraries and also need to ship frameworks or static libraries
• your consumers don't use CocoaPods and need prebuilt binaries
• you want declarative build settings from the podspec applied to packaged output

When to avoid

• you only distribute via CocoaPods source distribution
• you're building for platforms outside Apple/iOS tooling
• you need actively maintained tooling for modern Xcode build systems - consider alternatives like cocoapods-packager forks or SPM
