fastlane_publish_pod

## How we can publish a xcframework to cocoapod with a single command

### Step 1: We have to make sure we can publish the framework to cocoapod manually

### Step 2: Then start a terminal from remote repo directory which holds the framework and podspec file

### Step 3 : Run `fastlane init` command to initialize fastlane in this directory and press "4" when to select manual deploy
 This should generate fastlane directory and Gem files and Gemfile.lock

### Step 4: Update Gemfile add cocopod gem for running pod commands

```
source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "cocoapods"
gem "fastlane"

```
## Step 5: Open the fastfile from fastlane directory

default_platform(:ios)
$podspec_name = "RandomCars.podspec"
$framework_name = "RandomCars.xcframework"
platform :ios do
  desc "Release a new version with a patch bump_type"
  lane :patch do
    release("patch") # we could use __method__.to_s instead of duplicating the name
  end

  desc "Release a new version with a minor bump_type"
  lane :minor do
    release("minor")
  end

  desc "Release a new version with a major bump_type"
  lane :major do
    release("major")
  end


  def release(type)
    pod_lib_lint(
		allow_warnings: true
	)
    version = version_bump_podspec(path: $podspec_name,
                                   bump_type: type)
    git_add(path: [$podspec_name, "."], shell_escape: false)

    git_commit(path: [$podspec_name, "."],
               message: "#{version} release")
    add_git_tag(tag: "#{version}")
    push_to_git_remote
    pod_push(
		allow_warnings: true
	)
  end
end
```
## As on line 42 and 46 we are saying we should add all item on this directory
we need to add a .gitignore file which will skip fastlane files
```
.gitignore
Fastlane/
Gemfile
Gemfile.lock

```
## Final: As we have created 3 lane we can run any of them  minor , major or patch
```
fastlane minor 
```
OR

```
bundle exec fastlane minor

```


## Tips : If you are having any issue regarding ruby 
make sure you are using ruby from homebrew not from mac
```
which ruby 
```

this command should say

If you are seeing different make sure you install ruby using homebrew

and path in .zshrc like below
```
if [ -d "/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin" ]; then
  export PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH
  export PATH=`gem environment gemdir`/bin:$PATH
fi
```
