We will use CocoaPods to specify which of these "subspecs" your app will depend on.</p><p>The list of supported <code>subspec</code>s is available in <a href="https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/React.podspec" target="_blank"><code>/node_modules/react-native/React.podspec</code></a>. They are generally named by functionality. For example, you will generally always want the <code>Core</code> <code>subspec</code>. That will get you the <code>AppRegistry</code>, <code>StyleSheet</code>, <code>View</code> and other core React Native libraries. If you want to add the React Native <code>Text</code> library (e.g., for <code><Text></code> elements), then you will need the <code>RCTText</code> <code>subspec</code>. If you want the <code>Image</code> library (e.g., for <code><Image></code> elements), then you will need the <code>RCTImage</code> <code>subspec</code>.</p><p>You can specify which <code>subspec</code>s your app will depend on in a <code>Podfile</code> file. The easiest way to create a <code>Podfile</code> is by running the CocoaPods <code>init</code> command in the <code>/ios</code> subfolder of your project:</p><div class="prism language-javascript">$ pod init</div><p>The <code>Podfile</code> will contain a boilerplate setup that you will tweak for your integration purposes.
