The command "fastlane run cocoapods" is used to execute the CocoaPods action provided by the Fastlane tool.
Fastlane is an open-source platform developed by Apple that automates building, testing, and deployment processes for iOS and Android apps. It streamlines common tasks and allows developers to define a set of lanes to run specific actions or workflows.
The "cocoapods" action in Fastlane specifically relates to managing CocoaPods dependencies in an iOS project. CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C projects and helps in managing third-party libraries and frameworks.
When you run the "fastlane run cocoapods" command, Fastlane triggers the CocoaPods action and performs dependency resolution, installs or updates the necessary pods, and integrates them into your Xcode project. This action ensures that all the required dependencies are available and up to date in your project.
Overall, running this command with Fastlane simplifies the process of managing and updating CocoaPods dependencies, making it more efficient and consistent for developers working on iOS projects.
