Description
Hello,
I would like to know what the opinions are about using cocoapods to manage dependencies on osx/ios.
Cocoapods has the possibility to switch sources. The Openframeworks git could be used and Cocoapods could strip-down the parts that doesn't have to be used. Adding addons with the latest versions is going to be allot easier. And the possibilities of Openframeworks versions, like 64 bit build, cpp11 would be easier to use.
People allready created podspecs for OpenCV, BOOST, POCO...
I know that apothecary exist, but i'm not convinced that that is a good dependency manager. I don't know if there's a better choice or even a multi-platform possibility. So i'm open to more input.

Research direction
The issue names CocoaPods and Apothecary but identifies no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing Apothecary dependency workflow and comparing it with CocoaPods for OSX/iOS; done would require a decided dependency-management approach and a defined implementation scope.
