Examples fail on linking step in linking with Pods-RCTNetworkImage

[jaygarcia]

Seems that with migrating things to cocoa pods, the examples are inoperable:

Strangely enough, UI Explorer at least runs -- it doesn't seem to be using pods =)

Woops. We don't have yet continuous integration on the open source examples and we are mostly testing on the explorer examples and not movies app. I'll send a fix later today.

Note that we're going to move away from cocoapods, this was an experiment but doesn't work out well in practice :(

[jaygarcia]

fucking thank you! =)

I was going to get on a soapbox and explain how this was going to be problematic.

Could somebody post a one sentence summary of what the problem would be? It seemed to be quite an elegant solution of packaging the native parts from npm. I struggle with Cordova's plugin model and the impact on the native build part.

I'm sure others can list more problems, but from my perspective, supporting CocoaPods as a first-class system has the following issues:

1. Non-ideal project layout (copies files rather than linking projects, all libs are under Pods project)

2. Allows excessive flexibility with build configurations that are hard to model in other dependency and build systems.

We will continue to support interoperability with cocoapods of you want to use them, but we're going to come up with something more universal that integrates better with npm as the recommended way to generate Xcode projects and workspaces.

OK, sounds interesting. So the non-JS sources would be kept in npm, I guess something like node-gyp.

Yeah, we want npm to have all the code.
