How to get `react-native link` to link my library via Cocoapods?












1















I am writing a new library for React Native that uses native components for iOS and Android. It depends on another native library via Cocoapods, and contains a .podspec file. When I try to link it to a test project using react-native link, it successfully adds the source project as a library, but doesn't install the dependency via Cocoapods.



It looks like there are ways to customize the link behavior via rnpm keys in the package.json file, but I can't find any info on what those should be (it's also unclear if those are used by the newer link command, or are a holdover from the actual rnpm days.) If there are docs on that that you know of, please pass them along!



Otherwise, my main question is this: how can I get react-native link to install my dependency via Cocoapods, or do I need to reinvent that wheel?



Thanks in advance!
