This page is for developers using the Contentstack iOS SDK distributed through CocoaPods and the Objective-C Content Delivery API (CDA) client in this repository.
We are deprecating this SDK as the recommended path for new iOS work. If you are starting a new project, use our Contentstack Swift SDK instead, and add it with Swift Package Manager (see links below).
If you already ship an app that uses pod 'Contentstack', you can keep using it. Your integration continues to work. Plan a move to the Swift SDK when it fits your release schedule—you do not have to change immediately.

The Swift SDK is actively maintained and is where new features and improvements will appear.
The wider CocoaPods ecosystem is moving to a read-only model for publishing new pod versions. This Objective-C SDK has been delivered mainly through CocoaPods; aligning new development on our Swift SDK and SPM matches where the platform and our product investment are headed.
This repository will stay in maintenance: we may address critical or security issues where we can, but we do not plan new features here. Feature work goes into the Swift SDK.
- The CocoaPods project has published a timeline for when new pod versions can no longer be submitted to their central registry, with a milestone around December 2, 2026. See their official announcement for full detail.
- That industry change is separate from your day-to-day use of an already published
Contentstackpod version today—existing installs are not “turned off” by Contentstack because of this page.
