ADLicenselint

The purpose of this gem is to automatically generate a summary of the licenses for the pods used in an iOS project.

Example

bundle exec ad_licenselint -f term -p /path/to/Podfile -a

+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Pod               | License                    | Source                                        |

| Firebase          | Apache                     | https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk  |
| ObjectivePGP      | BSD for non-commercial use | https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/ObjectivePGP |
| SwiftGen          | MIT                        | https://github.com/SwiftGen/SwiftGen          |

+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

Installation

Add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'ad_licenselint'

And then execute:

bundle install

You can also install it globally running:

gem install ad_licenselint

Usage

Command line

cd path/to/Podfile
bundle exec ad_licenselint

# Alternatively, use the -p option
bundle exec ad_licenselint -p path/to/Podfile

+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Pod               | License                    | Source                                        |
+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| ObjectivePGP      | BSD for non-commercial use | https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/ObjectivePGP |
+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

This will output the licenses that are not free to use in your project. By default, MIT, Apache or BSD are considered valid.

If you want to see licenses that are valid anyway, run:

bundle exec ad_licenselint -a

+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Pod               | License                    | Source                                        |
+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Alamofire         | MIT                        | https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire        |
| Firebase          | Apache                     | https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk  |
| ObjectivePGP      | BSD for non-commercial use | https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/ObjectivePGP |
| SwiftGen          | MIT                        | https://github.com/SwiftGen/SwiftGen          |
| SwiftLint         | MIT                        | https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint            |
+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

By default the output format is set to term. You can use md to generate a markdown output:

bundle exec ad_licenselint -f md

The output becomes:

Pod	License	Source
ObjectivePGP	BSD for non-commercial use	https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/ObjectivePGP

Licenses

If you want to see the warnings for a subset of pods (and not the whole pod list from the Podfile), use the -o option:

bundle exec ad_licenselint -o Alamofire -a

+-------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Pod               | License | Source                                             |

+-------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------+

bundle exec ad_licenselint -o ObjectivePGP

+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Pod               | License                    | Source                                        |
+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

+-------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

If you want to see all the options available, display help:

bundle exec ad_licenselint -h

Allow list

You may want to hide warnings for pods you know are valid (for instance private pods that have a commercial license). For this purpose, you can create a file .ad_licenselint.yml next to your Podfile that looks like this:

allow:
- ObjectivePGP
- SomeOtherPod

Next, when you will run bundle exec ad_licenselint, ObjectivePGP will not emit a warning anymore.

Ruby

If you want to use the the gem in your ruby scripts, you can generate a report like so:

# create a runner with optional options
runner = ADLicenseLint::Runner.new({
  format: ADLicenseLint::Constant::MARKDOWN_FORMAT_OPTION,
  path: "/path/to/Podfile",
  all: false
})

# create a report
report = runner.create_report

# print the formatted result
puts runner.format(report)

Tests

Run make tests to run the tests.
