Build binary even if :path is specified

[own2pwn]

Looks like there's a check that will pass building if :path option is set. It would be nice to support builds even for local pods

Hey,
I'd be also interested if local pods could be prebuilt as well. Would it be just a matter of removing this local check?
Update: I just tried and there seem to be other things preventing a local pod from prebuilding

I was able to prebuild local pods by removing the check that OP mentioned, as well as commenting out these 2 lines.

cocoapods-binary/lib/cocoapods-binary/helper/podfile_options.rb

Line 94 in 9f40c5d

all = all.reject {|pod_target| sandbox.local?(pod_target.pod_name) }

cocoapods-binary/lib/cocoapods-binary/Prebuild.rb

Line 106 in 9f40c5d

targets = targets.reject {|pod_target| sandbox.local?(pod_target.pod_name) }

Those were both added in the same commit, and based on the commit message it seems like it was done in order to prevent local pods from being built when you're using the "build all as binary" flag. Which, is a reasonable check to do. But obviously just creating another flag to make that behavior optional would have been ideal.

Hope it helps.

Obviously I don't understand the other potential implications of these changes, so use at your own risk.

EDIT: Still some issues with that approach. I'm seeing the assembled .framework bundles in the _Prebuild directory but the frameworks aren't included in the Pods project. I'll keep digging :\

I was going to ask that :)

I think it should be something in Integration.rb to be changed so that those build .frameworks also get integrated in the xc project

I also removed this two lines of code. And, I can install local development pod

cocoapods-binary/lib/cocoapods-binary/Integration.rb

Line 25 in 04c02f8

return if standard_sanbox.local? self.name

cocoapods-binary/lib/cocoapods-binary/Integration.rb

Line 127 in 04c02f8

next if self.sandbox.local?(root_name)

But, it seems it is by design that it doesn't support development pods. #33
