After touching on some Core Data follow-up, Jake proposes that the couch talk about Frameworks. Apple\u2019s Cocoa includes a lot of things, and arguably more than most other first-party SDK, but there\u2019s alway a need for additional frameworks to solve common issues.\n\nHe starts by laying out a few different pieces of the framework puzzle, from how to discover them, how to actually get the code, and how to implement it in your own projects.\n\nOne solution for managing these third-party dependencies is to use Git\u2019s submodules. Jelly mentions that this is how he manages and maintains the external libraries he maintains alongside his code.\n\nAnother is Cocoapods, which solves all three aspects of finding and using libraries, including finding of projects, and the actual integration with your Xcode project.\n\nFinally, the cool kid on the block right now is Carthage, which only deals with the building and preparation of the dependency tree, whereas discovery and the actual integration is dealt with by the developer.
