Lift the requirement on cocoapods

Problem Statement

The SDK relies on cocoapods that is coming to EOL. It would be nice if this SDK provided the batteries-included setup with no requirements on cocoapods nor SPM.

Solution Brainstorm

Get whatever you have in cocoapods and make a static library out of it then create cInterops and link the static library to the .klib artifact using staticLibraries property in .def file 🙌

hey yeah that's something we might do in the future 👍

[buenaflor]

I assume dynamic libraries wont work with this approach

[mikolajefento]

Yes, it has to be statically linked

[buenaflor]

I'm wondering though how often it's the case that someone uses neither spm nor cocoapods

+ defining header files is definitely a major increase in maintenance overhead for us and I'm not sure how well it plays together with new cocoa sdk features since they're using more and more swift
