carthage: Update dependencies, but only build for iOS.
$ carthage update --platform ios
try on your machine
The command "carthage update --platform ios" is used in Carthage, a dependency manager for iOS and macOS projects. It is used to update the dependencies specified in the Cartfile or Cartfile.private file of a project.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "carthage": Refers to the Carthage command-line tool.
- "update": The subcommand that instructs Carthage to update the project dependencies.
- "--platform ios": Specifies the platform for which the dependencies should be updated, in this case, iOS.
When you run this command, Carthage will check the Cartfile or Cartfile.private file(s) in the project directory, fetch the latest versions of the dependencies defined in those files, and build them if necessary. The dependencies are typically third-party frameworks or libraries that the project relies on.
By specifying "--platform ios," Carthage will only update the dependencies for the iOS platform, ignoring any dependencies related to macOS.
