Can the Podfile generation better handle logical blocks

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I wish I could apply variable logic when defining iOS deployment target in the application Podfile.

To set the IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET we must define the platform version in two separate files to ensure both the target application and all dependencies meet our minimum desired version.

1. App_Resources/iOS/build.xcconfig
   IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=16
2. App_Resources/iOS/Podfile
   platform :ios, '16.0'

As suggested in the troubleshooting documentation, to ensure that all dependencies are also configured to this target it is suggested that we do the following... which works fine.

platform :ios, '13.0'

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0'
    end
  end
end

*See https://docs.nativescript.org/troubleshooting#cocoapods-could-not-find-compatible-versions-for-pod-higher-minimum-deployment-target

This makes 3 places where I need to update the target version for iOS.

Inspired by this answer, if I try to apply any kind of logic in the application Podfile, it is either stripped by the CocoaPodsPlatformManager or ignored altogether.

Doing this:

app_ios_deployment_target = Gem::Version.new('16.0')
platform :ios, app_ios_deployment_target.version

Results in this:

platform :ios, 

It looks like the Regex is trying to match a platform within quotes('") only.
^\\s*?#\\s*?(platform\\b\\s*?\\:\\s*?ios\\b(?:,\\s*?['"](.+)['"])?)

Ruby will also complain the variable app_ios_deployment_target does not exist, which is true because only the line matched by the Regex above is hoisted above any post_install hooks and all other code blocks are lost.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if CocoaPodsPlatformManager.selectPlatformDataFromProjectPodfile could be expanded to match other expressions.

It would also be great if all other lines that are not the platform definition and are outside of hooks are hoisted first, so that variables could be used.

This could mean that we can have one source of truth when defining the iOS target. Which could be in App_Resources/iOS/build.xcconfig and the read from the Podfile, or better yet an environment variable.

Bắt đầu với lib/services/cocoapods-platform-manager.ts, đặc biệt là selectPlatformDataFromProjectPodfile và biểu thức so khớp nền tảng của nó. Theo dõi cách các dòng trong Podfile được đưa lên trước, cũng như cách các biểu thức Ruby không được đặt trong dấu ngoặc kép và mã nằm ngoài các hooks được xử lý. Được xem là hoàn tất khi deployment target dựa trên biến được yêu cầu và các dòng điều kiện tiên quyết vẫn có thể sử dụng mà không bị loại bỏ.
