CocoaPods to Transition Main Repository to Read-Only Mode Within Two Years
By

Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
CocoaPods, the dependency manager for iOS and Mac projects, has announced plans to make its main repository (trunk) read-only within two years. This means no new versions or pods will be added to trunk after this transition, though existing infrastructure like the Specs repo and CDN will continue to operate. The move is intended to drastically simplify security concerns for the platform.
