sudo gem install cocoapods(if not already installed)mkdir plugin-testcd plugin-testgit clone https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-plugin-seed _plugins/nativescript-version-numbercd _plugins/nativescript-version-number/srcnpm run postclone- I entered
twilio-chatfor the plugin name and chose defaults (create ademoTypeScript app) - create the following
Podfilein_plugins/nativescript-version-number/src/platforms/ios(as per Twilio Programable Chat docs)
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs'
target 'MyTarget' do
pod 'TwilioChatClient', '~> 2.4.2'
end
- replace
MyTargetwithdemo - in 2 terminal windows, both in
_plugins/nativescript-version-number/src, run: npm run plugin.tscwatchnpm run demo.ios
Result: [!] Invalid 'Podfile' file: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting end-of-input.
The generated Podfile (_plugins/nativescript-version-number/demo/platforms/ios/Podfile) looks like this:
use_frameworks!
target "demo" do
end
end
# Begin Podfile - /www/plugin-test/_plugins/nativescript-version-number/demo/node_modules/nativescript-twilio-chat/platforms/ios/Podfile
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs'
target 'demo' do
pod 'TwilioChatClient', '~> 2.4.2'
end
# End Podfile
end
Removing the end in my Podfile, I still get the same error (and just one less end in the resulting Podfile).
At one point I even got a Duplicate target "demo" error, so I even tried removing the line target 'demo' do line from my Podfile, but still no luck, still got the [!] Invalid 'Podfile' file: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting end-of-input. error.
Even if I delete all content from my Podfile, to have it empty, I still get a bad resulting Podfile:
use_frameworks!
target "demo" do
end
end
# Begin Podfile - /www/plugin-testt/_plugins/nativescript-version-number/demo/node_modules/nativescript-twilio-chat/platforms/ios/Podfile
# End Podfile
end

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in _plugins/nativescript-version-number/src/platforms/ios/Podfile and compare it with the generated demo/platforms/ios/Podfile. Run npm run plugin.tscwatch and npm run demo.ios, then trace how the plugin Podfile is combined with the demo target. Done means the generated Podfile has balanced target blocks and the iOS demo command completes without the syntax error.
