Benefits Automatic Testing: Tests run during every lint validation Confidence: Validates library works as expected before publishing CI Integration: Consistent testing across all environments Documentation: Tests serve as usage examples Basic Test Spec App Host Requirements Tests Without App Host Tests With App Host Multiple Test Specs Platform-Specific Test Specs Test Dependencies Testing Frameworks Mocking Frameworks Test Resources Scheme Configuration Testing Subspecs Common Testing Patterns XCTest Pattern Quick/Nimble Pattern Network Mocking Pattern Snapshot Testing Pattern Running Tests During Lint Validation Standalone Test Execution Best Practices Directory Structure Test Organization Dependency Management Anti-Patterns Don't ❌ Skip tests during validation ❌ Mix test and production code ❌ Include test dependencies in main spec ❌ Use requiresapphost unnecessarily Do ✅ Run tests during every validation ✅ Separate test and production code ✅ Keep test dependencies in test spec ✅ Use app host only when needed Example: Complete Test Spec Setup Related Skills cocoapods-podspec-fundamentals cocoapods-subspecs-organization cocoapods-publishing-workflow
