Master branch pod install

[danielmogilny]

Hi,

Following the readme tutorial in the master branch yields an error that ChatSDK is not found. There isn't a podspec in master for ChatSDK too so I ended up having to use the master_no_framework branch for installation.

Hi @danielmogilny,

We are currently in the process of updating our tutorials, I have just made modifications to the "adding Chat SDK to your project" tutorial

I will give you a brief overview here.

1. The Chat SDK is changing slightly as we make improvements, the basic structure stays the same although the folders might change slightly, this means although a video might not be identical to what your are reading it still have the same idea.
2. Download and add the Chat SDK to your project as normal - I have updated the tutorial. I would recommend just changing the folder name to ChatSDK and adding the entire project
3. Now you need to create a direct link from your project podfile to the podspecs. They are contained in the ChatSDK folder and then in each of the ChatSDKCore, ChatSDKCoreData etc. See below image:

4. Remember to use ../ to go out of a folder and the folder name to go into one.

5. For example check out the example project below:

We want to do the following:

• Go out of our project folder: ../
• Go into our ChatSDK folder: ChatSDK/
• Go into the next ChatSDK folder: ChatSDK/
• Go into the appropriate module folder: ChatSDKCore/
• We have now found our podspec

This means the podfile should look like this:

  pod "ChatSDKCore", :path => "../ChatSDK/ChatSDK/ChatSDKCore"
  pod "ChatSDKUI", :path => "../ChatSDK/ChatSDK/ChatSDKUI"
  pod "ChatSDKCoreData", :path => "../ChatSDK/ChatSDK/ChatSDKCoreData"
  pod "ChatSDKFirebaseAdapter", :path => "../ChatSDK/ChatSDK/ChatSDKFirebaseAdapter"

You can see the path is showing the podfile the correct directions to the podspec.

I will be putting together a video to show this but hopefully this should give you a better idea.

We recommend using the master version of the code even if it takes a bit more time to get your head round.

Let me know if you have any further questions/issues and I'll do my best to help you out,

Simon

I have also written a tutorial for solving this issue here

This should solve the problem
