   M D C N Y C When concerns are well-separated,

   individual sections can be reused, as well as developed and updated independently. -Wikipedia

   M D C N Y C Modularity = • Easier

   to build separate applications • New products • iOS or OS X • iOS extensions • watchOS applications

    M D C N Y C Modularity = • Additional

    overhead • More repositories, READMEs to update, version numbers to increment • Tooling complexity • CocoaPods, Carthage, Gradle, etc.

    M D C N Y C Development pods • No

    need to version • Can be anywhere on disk, e.g. in the app’s repository • Easy to make one pull request against multiple modules

    M D C N Y C Flexibility • Can always

    turn dev. pods into “real pods” • Xcode project only knows about .framework files • Could always move away from CocoaPods
19. 19.

    M D C N Y C Summary • Modular codebases

    facilitate rapid product development • “Development pods” provide many benefits of modularity without too much overhead
