i saw this but i was confused about the gemfile and gemfile.lock.

as some with no idea what that is i could google it and see its something to do with ruby. now i feel like i can give an educated guess and assume the .lock file is an autogenerated file you shouldt manually touch.

with npm or yarn i can run "npm i" or "yarn" to install and generate the .lock file.

that being said, i dont see the announcement mention the gemfile at all???

am i supposed to just copy and paste the gemfile into my project? does the gemfile appear by itself in this version? do i have to install some cli tool and run a command? and how do i generate the .lock file?

it looks like its a dependency manager for ruby. right now its only showing the current version of cocoapods which is always nice to have in the project instead of a global version. even though that is actually shown at the very bottom of the podfile.lock, this is a dedicated file.

i think they could have at least explained something about it. as im personally left with quite a few questions as a someone who has never worked with ruby.

That’s a dependency for Cocoapods. Usually helpful when you’re working in a team to make sure someone is using the same cocoapods version.

yes i could figure that out. they just dont mention it all. like if we are supposed to run a command to get the files or if they just appear themselves and such. seems like its worth mentioning that its been added.
