CocoaPods

Set Up CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a popular dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C projects. If you haven't already, install CocoaPods by following the official guide.

Add Appxiom to Your Project

Add the following lines to your Podfile to include both AppxiomCore and AppxiomDebug:

pod 'AppxiomDebug', '2.1.0', :configuration => ['Debug']

• AppxiomDebug includes all features of AppxiomCore plus auto detection of Frame rate issues.

Next, install the pods by running the following command in the terminal where your Podfile is located:

Terminal:

pod install --repo-update

Use the --repo-update option the first time to ensure you have the latest pod specs.
