Should this library be included using Pods?

Hi there,

Had a bunch of problems because react-native link added a line to ios/Podfile automatically. So I tried to make it work with it in the Podfile, but then the React pod was installed as a dependency and it was a mess.

Is that the expected behaviour? Or should users not use that method?

In the end, coming back to the readme, I removed the line from the Podfile and followed the manual installation steps for iOS and everything seems to work out.

My question is: Should we add to the readme that you should NOT use it with Pods, or add instructions on How to make it work with Pods?

I can do a PR to add a warning, but I wouldn’t how to make instructions properly to make it work with Pods. I feel that you would need to go through all the steps in https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/integration-with-existing-apps.html#3-install-cocoapods but I’m not 100% comfortable with that kind of setup.

To prevent React pod to be installed as dependency just add those lines at the end of Podfile:

target 'YourApp' do
  # YOUR PODS
end

# lines to add
post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == "React"
      target.remove_from_project
    end
  end
end

It’s not a problem with this library 😄
