Cocoapods support

[cuva]

Hi,

First of all, thanks for the great library!

Would you be open in accepting a PR adding cocoapods support for Mozjpeg? Cocoapods is a dependency manager for iOS projects which would make the library's integration a no brainer and should only require adding a single file to the repo.

Thanks!

How would that support look like?

The library has a C interface, but I guess a proper library for Cocoa should have an interface compatible with ObjC and/or Swift best practices.

If you'd like to implement a higher-level ObjC or Swift wrapper for libjpeg, that'd be great.

Thanks for your quick answer @kornelski.

Couldn't agree more. Since C is interoperable with Objective-C, I'd suggest first and foremost defining a mozjpeg pod to enable it being integrated through Cocoapods as-is.

As you've mentioned, It would then open the door for a higher-level Objective-C/Swift compatible framework that exposes idiomatic platform APIs depending on mozjpeg's C library through CP.

In practice, adding support for CP simply requires adding a .podspec file at the root of the repo. As the podspec contains the library's version number, running pod repo update when releasing a new version would be the only command required to push an updated version of the spec to their centralised spec repository.

I've got a working podspec locally - so happy to push a PR if that's ok with you and get into more details there!?

Yes, great! I'm happy to add a podspec.

It's live https://cocoapods.org/pods/mozjpeg !

One last thing - could I ask you to register on cocoapods trunk so we can have shared ownership of the pod? To do so, you'd simply have to do three things:

• Install cocoapods: sudo gem install cocoapods
• Register a trunk account: pod trunk register [email protected] 'First Last Name' --description='optional description'
• Click on the link sent via email. Once done, let me know the email you've used to register and I'll add you as an owner!

FYI, when releasing a new update, the only required thing will be to update the version number / tag in the podspec and run from the root of the repo:

pod trunk push mozjpeg.podspec --allow-warnings

Cheers, Kornel!
