   CocoaPods is an easy-to-use dependency management tool for iOS and
   OS X development.
   Instead of downloading some code from GitHub, or even our own libraries
   and copying them to our projects (and thus making future updates a pain),
   we can let CocoaPods do it all for us!
   What’s CocoaPods?
   According their website cocoapods is:
   “The best way to manage library dependencies in Objective-C projects.”
   and, so far, at least at the present time the advertising is true :)

   Why CocoaPods?
   Working with third party libraries in an Xcode project isn’t always easy and
   it can often be a pain, especially when integrating non-ARC libraries in an
   ARC-enabled project.
