Easy steps to create Cocoapod from existing xcode project

• Create a repository on your git account (Repo name, check README, choose MIT under license).

• Copy the url of your repository.Open terminal and run following command.

  git clone copied your repository url

• Now copy your Xcode project inside the cloned repository folder on your Mac. Now run following commands

  git add -u to add all files (if not added use: git add filepath/folder)

  git commit -m "your custom message"

  git push origin master

• Create a new release to go to your git repository or run following commands

  git tag 1.0.0

  git push --tags

• First, we need to make sure that you have CocoaPods installed and ready to use in your Terminal. run the following command:

  sudo gem install cocoapods --pre

Creating a Podspec 

• All Pods have a podspec file. A podspec, as its name suggests, defines the specifications of the Pod! Now let’s make one, run following command on terminal

  touch PodName.podspec

• After adding and modifying your .podspec file. Validate your .podspec file by hitting following command on terminal

  pod lib lint

• Once you validate it successfully without errors run following command to register you and build cocoapod respectively

  pod trunk register  

  pod trunk push PodName.podspec

If all goes well, you will get this on terminal

PodName (1.0.0) successfully published
