You can specify build settings for all pods or only for one pod. Here is an example:

post_install do | installer |
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT'] = 'dwarf'
            config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'YES'
            
            if target.name == 'GPUImage2'
                target.build_configurations.each do |config|
                    config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '3.0'
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

post_install do | installer |

installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|

target.build_configurations.each do |config|

config.build_settings['DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT'] = 'dwarf'

config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'YES'

if target.name == 'GPUImage2'

target.build_configurations.each do |config|

config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '3.0'

end

You can create a podspec for a git repo, that is not a pod. Add this podspec to you project root and make a link for an added pod to specify a podspec. This is a better way to create pods for projects that do not have a pod, than creating a fork with a podspec, since you get latest updates more easily.

pod 'GPUImage2', :podspec => './GPUImage2.podspec'

1	pod 'GPUImage2', :podspec => './GPUImage2.podspec'

If you have a problematic JSON, which can contain number or string for some keys, you can decode object without that property and manually set that property after decoding.

For example, I have a Vehicle class inside HistoryItem. In Vehicle model_year can be empty String or non empty Int. Here I am decoding modelYear manually using NSDictionary and trying to get Int. Swift 4 cannot do it automatically.

    do {
        // Decoding HistoryItem from JSON
        let jsonData = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: dict, options: .prettyPrinted)
        let decoder = JSONDecoder()
        let historyItem = try decoder.decode(HistoryItem.self, from: jsonData)
        if let modelYear = (dict as NSDictionary).value(forKeyPath: "vehicle.model_year") as? Int {
            historyItem.vehicle?.modelYear = modelYear
        }
        
        // Saving HistoryItem to Realm
        let realm = try! Realm()
        try! realm.write {
            realm.add(historyItem, update: true)
        }
        
    } catch {
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }

do {

// Decoding HistoryItem from JSON

let jsonData = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: dict, options: .prettyPrinted)

let decoder = JSONDecoder()

let historyItem = try decoder.decode(HistoryItem.self, from: jsonData)

if let modelYear = (dict as NSDictionary).value(forKeyPath: "vehicle.model_year") as? Int {

historyItem.vehicle?.modelYear = modelYear

}

// Saving HistoryItem to Realm

let realm = try! Realm()

try! realm.write {

realm.add(historyItem, update: true)

}

} catch {

print(error.localizedDescription)

}

This is my Vehicle class that is contained inside HistoryItem:

    class Vehicle: Object, Codable {
        @objc dynamic var VIN: String = ""
        @objc dynamic var make: String?
        @objc dynamic var modelName: String?
        @objc dynamic var recallCount: Int = 0
        @objc dynamic var modelYear: Int = 0
        
        override static func primaryKey() -> String? {
            return "VIN"
        }
        
        private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
            case VIN = "vin"
            case make
            case modelName = "model_name"
            case recallCount = "recall_count"
        }
    }

class Vehicle: Object, Codable {

@objc dynamic var VIN: String = ""

@objc dynamic var make: String?

@objc dynamic var modelName: String?

@objc dynamic var recallCount: Int = 0

@objc dynamic var modelYear: Int = 0

override static func primaryKey() -> String? {

return "VIN"

}

private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {

case VIN = "vin"

case make

case modelName = "model_name"

case recallCount = "recall_count"

}

As you see, there is no model_year key in CodingKeys.
