Cocoapods Groot compile problem

[KrisToe4]

Hi there,

I'm pretty new to cocoapods as well as xcode/iOS development in general so I'm likely doing something wrong. I've set up CocoaPods itself (I tested it with AFNetworking) but when I include Groot it gets a ton of compile errors. Is there something else I need to include as well?

Below are the copied compile errors (not sure if its actually useful or not). All I'm doing is adding pod 'Groot' to my Podfile and running the install and then trying to compile the project:

Hi there,

Which version of Xcode are you using? Starting from Groot 1.2 you need Xcode 7. Use pod ‘Groot’, '1.1' for Xcode 6.

If you're not using Swift at all, you can use the objective-c only subspec: pod 'Groot/ObjC', '1.1'.

Let me know if that works for you.
