No Cocoapods support for iOS 7

[donshefer]

The requirements say you support iOS 7 but the pod only supports iOS 8.

Is this right? Does that mean to support iOS 7 I have to include the files manually?

[brendanmartens]

I am also wondering about this.

Yes, you have to include the files manually.

Is that because of how SwiftyJSON is bundled for cocoapods? I was reading up a bit and it sounds like there is a new framework type that only ios8+ can use... is SwiftyJSON using that?

[lingoer]

Yes, because the cocoapods is using that type.

So... including SwiftyJson with a pod wont work with IOS 7 ? but if I include SwiftyJson without a pod, it will?

[brendanmartens]

That's correct, although the reasons are a bit nuanced (it has to do with how a swift project must be built in order to be managed by cocoapods, IIRC).
