How does this skill help with visionOS support?

It provides the specific deployment target syntax for visionOS (introduced in CocoaPods 1.15.0+) to ensure your library is compatible with Apple Vision Pro projects.

What is a podspec file in CocoaPods?

A podspec (Pod Specification) is a Ruby file that describes a version of a library, including its source files, dependencies, and build settings required by the CocoaPods manager.

How do I validate my podspec using this skill?

The skill provides standardized commands like 'pod lib lint' for local validation and 'pod spec lint' for publishing validation, including flags to skip tests or allow warnings.

Why are resource bundles recommended over direct resources?

Resource bundles prevent asset name collisions by namespacing your library's images, storyboards, and privacy manifests separate from the main application's resources.
