These days, I use <strong>CocoaPods<\/strong> and include one or more libraries in my <strong>Xcode<\/strong> project.  Ones that I often test these days are <strong>Alamofire<\/strong> and <strong>SwiftyJASON<\/strong> although none of the desktop applications that I submit to <strong>Mac App Store<\/strong> utilize them.  Since I use both Xcode 7 and Xcode 8, I have to use different versions of those Swift libraries.  In fact, I was going to use <strong>RxSwift<\/strong> with Xcode 8 under OS X 10.1 <strong>El Capitan<\/strong> when I was developing the last desktop application.  But I was not able to install RxSwift 3.0 through CocoaPods.  So things are messed up.  We have completely different versions of Swift &#8211; 2.3 and 3.0.  We have to use one Xcode version over another.  We then have to consider whether or not a particular Swift library runs under a certain OS version.  Oh, boy&#8230;  Life is so confusing.  That&#8217;s behind the idea of developing a new desktop application.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"464\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/simplypods\/Screenshot_001a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/simplypods\/thumbnail_Screenshot_001a.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"140\" alt=\"Mac App Store application SimplyPods\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/simplypods\/Screenshot_002a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/simplypods\/thumbnail_Screenshot_002a.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"140\" alt=\"Mac App Store application SimplyPods\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nSimplyPods is a desktop application that lets you document and list Pods that you frequently use so that you can pick ones that you need from the list when you start out a new Xcode projects. &nbsp; <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<u>Features<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Choose which Pod to include in your Podfile with a checkbox on and off.<\/li>\n<li>Let the application save a list of Pods so that the application can restore it when you return to SimplyPods.<\/li>\n<li>The application supports the retina screen.
