Totally agree with giving them the benefit of the doubt, hence https://github.com/Mashape/unirest-obj-c/pull/9 I still doubt as much thought has gone into it as a more mature library like AFNetworking (https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking) though. Even then the new NSURLSession APIs in iOS7 pretty much remove the need for a 3rd party networking lib.

I found code like ' int code = [response code];' Why 'int' and not 'NSInteger'? That being said, I've been looking for a NotWorking replacement, and this might be it. Either this or I write my own once and for all. Will give it a go! Also; https://github.com/Mashape/unirest-obj-c/pull/8

It's on github (https://github.com/mashape/unirest-obj-c), so I expect someone will submit a podspec in the next 24 hours. One of the awesome things about CocoaPods is you can also write a podspec for a repo you don't control. So even if the creators refuse to add CocoaPods support, you can still use CocoaPods to import it to your project. edit: went ahead and added a pull request for a .podspec. Only a little bit of extra work, since I was writing one to test it out locally anyway.
