Is it possible to use CocoaPods through Nexus repository?

Question

In my company we do not have open internet access, so to develop the applications that depends of many dependences using a corporative Nexus.

In this Nexus we have mavencentral, jcenter, npmjs and others repository proxies. But we are starting to developing for iOS, and we want to use CocoaPods, but, first of all I have to know if is there some way to use CocoaPods through Nexus.

Some one knows how to do it?

Artifactory has a issue to implement this feature. https://www.jfrog.com/jira/browse/RTFACT-5385

Answer 1

As of now Nexus doesn't support CocoaPods: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-9733 And Artifactory does (since v.4.5): https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory+4.5

More information according different repositories features could be found on this feature matrix: http://binary-repositories-comparison.github.io/

It's a bit outdated, but I'm currently working on its updating.

I'm looking for a workaround for it..
