How to modify TUICallKit source code in an iOS project using CocoaPods?

August 25, 2024

I want to modify the source code of the TUICallKit component in my iOS project. I have followed the instructions to import the component using CocoaPods by creating a TUICallKit folder, copying the TUICallKit-Swift folder and TUICallKit-Swift.podspec file from the GitHub repository, and adding the necessary dependency to my Podfile.

However, I’m not sure how to access and modify the TUICallKit source code within my project. Can someone provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly set up the project to allow for source code modifications?

Also, I want to ensure that I can easily navigate and make changes to the code while maintaining a hierarchical folder structure. Any tips or best practices for working with the TUICallKit source code would be greatly appreciated.

To modify the TUICallKit source code in your iOS project using CocoaPods, follow these steps:

Make sure you have created a TUICallKit folder in the same directory as your project’s Podfile and copied the TUICallKit-Swift folder and TUICallKit-Swift.podspec file from the GitHub repository into that folder.
Open your project’s Podfile and add the following line to specify the path to the TUICallKit-Swift.podspec file:
```
pod 'TUICallKit-Swift', :path => "TUICallKit/TUICallKit-Swift.podspec"
```
Replace "TUICallKit/TUICallKit-Swift.podspec" with the actual path to the TUICallKit-Swift.podspec file relative to your Podfile.
Save the Podfile and run the following command in the terminal, in the same directory as your Podfile:
```
pod install
```
This command will install the TUICallKit component and its dependencies.
After the installation is complete, open your project’s .xcworkspace file in Xcode.
In Xcode, navigate to the Pods project in the project navigator.
Expand the Pods project and locate the TUICallKit-Swift folder.
Inside the TUICallKit-Swift folder, you will find the source code files for the TUICallKit component.
You can now access and modify the source code files directly within Xcode. Simply open the desired file and make your changes.
The TUICallKit component supports hierarchical folder display, so you can easily navigate through the source code files and make changes while maintaining a clear structure.
After making your modifications, build and run your project to see the effects of your changes.

Remember to commit and push your changes to your own version control system (e.g., Git) to keep track of your modifications to the TUICallKit source code.
