How to migrate from the "old way"?

[kevinrenskers]

I used to include the acknowledgements via this way: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/wiki/Acknowledgements/. So with the post_install and that given Root.plist.

Now I am trying to migrate to cocoapods-acknowledgements. I've installed the plugin, added it to my Podfile, ran pd install, and while the old file Resources/Settings.bundle/Acknowledgements.plist is now gone, there are no new files in the settings bundle and indeed, the settings app now shows a blank page for the app.

As you can see, the plists are added to the Pods folder. The README of this project is a bit sparse on how to finish the integration into the actual settings bundle, any help?

Are you using the settings_bundle params?

plugin 'cocoapods-acknowledgements', :settings_bundle => true

This will make the plugin copy the plists to Settings.bundle. You'd only have to change your Root.plist to use it. Something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>StringsTable</key>
    <string>Root</string>
    <key>PreferenceSpecifiers</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>Type</key>
            <string>PSChildPaneSpecifier</string>
            <key>Title</key>
            <string>Licenses</string>
            <key>File</key>
            <string>Pods-settings-metadata</string>
        </dict>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>

I do indeed have that line with setting_bundle => true, and added Pods-sling-metadata into the File string. But still the Licenses page in the Settings app is completely empty. Shouldn't the plist be placed in the root of the Settings.bundle?

Can you post the full pod install output and your Podfile?
