Hello,
with the latest versions of CocoaPods, I believe you are doing yourself a favor to use if you are using any components that can be installed through CocoaPods at all.
It does make life a lot easer, but like with any third party component, you are introducing a new dependency. You may run into troubles you never thought about before; that said, the CocoaPods community is very helpful, and you can usually find answers to problems quickly.
Even as I know the people who write most of the CocoaPods code, I used to be highly skeptical about it. Now, I believe it is a reliable, very useful and mission tested tool.
A final world from an old skool coder: Probably because it is so easy, I have seen projects where people had added a dozen pods to a project before even writing a single line of code. I have seen people add a pod (in turn adding three dependencies for it) to do something they could accomplish with a single line of code. Don’t do that.
My personal rule of thumb is to add third party code that I either feel I completely understand (so I feel competent to fix any problems I may find along the way), or code that addresses problems that are far too complex for me (so, I would not be able to solve the problem in reasonable time if I did not use the third party code).
Exceptions apply
