[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

brodybits opened a new issue #916:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/916


   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   
   This documentation led me to believe that it should be possible to use `http` option in a `<pod>` element: <https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/plugin_ref/spec.html#pod>
   
   I tried this `<podspec>` configuration for the iOS platform in a new plugin:
   
   ```xml
       <podspec>
         <!-- empty config element to avoid an installation bug on iOS -->
         <config>
         </config>
         <pods>
           <!-- TODO: MISSING EXTRA-SAFE -DSQLITE_DEFAULT_SYNCHRONOUS=3 FLAG
                AND MISSING SOME OTHER FLAGS FROM ABOVE
                FUTURE TBD CONSIDER SOME OTHER SQLITE FEATURE FLAGS WANTED -->
           <pod name="sqlite3" http="https://github.com/clemensg/sqlite3pod" />
         </pods>
       </podspec>
   ```
   
   here: <https://github.com/brodybits/cordova-plugin-sqlite-batch-connection-manager-core-unstable-0x/tree/unstable-ios-pod-http-option>
   
   While I think the value of this `http` option is not correct, I would expect Cordova to honor the `http` option when generating `platforms/ios/Podfile`.
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   
   After the following steps to try my `podspec` configuration in a test app:
   
   ```sh
   cordova plugin add github:brodybits/cordova-plugin-sqlite-batch-connection-manager-core-unstable-0x#unstable-ios-pod-http-option-test
   cordova platform add github:apache/cordova-ios#master
   ```
   
   I get the following contents of `platforms/ios/Podfile`:
   
   ```rb
   # DO NOT MODIFY -- auto-generated by Apache Cordova
   
   platform :ios, '11.0'
   
   target 'demo' do
   	project 'demo.xcodeproj'
   	pod 'sqlite3'
   end
   ```
   
   with my `http` tag evidently ignored
   
   ### general comments
   
   Unfortunately I have not figured out the right way to use the `http` option for a pod in general.
   
   I do not even know if this is an option that is worth supporting, and would be happy to see it just removed from the documentation.
