Add a Podfile

Create a new Podfile using the following command:

> pod init

This command will create a default Podfile like the following:

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'KeystoneSDKDemo' do
  # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!


  # Pods for KeystoneSDKDemo
  pod 'JSONWebToken'

end

Edit the Podfile and add you import using the pod 'library' syntax as depicted above.

Run pod install to download and add the pod to your project.

> pod install

You may have to update the repo

> pod repo update

Using a Podfile will require that you use open the code using the workspace instead of the project.

> open KeystoneSDKDemo.xcworkspace
