Navigating Youbora v5 / v6 confusion (iOS)

Youbora went through a significant refactor as they transitioned from v5 to v6 of their iOS video playback metrics collecting plugins.

While this change has improved some shortcomings in the v5 design, it has unfortunately been the source of some confusion, as their dev infra and resources seem to have bifurcated across this change:

• The v5 repos live on github while v6 live on bitbucket.
• They decided to create an entirely separate cocoapod for v6, and the naming is unclear (Youbora-YouboraLib vs. YouboraLib)

TL;DR

pod YouboraAVPlayerAdapter and follow https://bitbucket.org/npaw/avplayer-adapter-ios/src/master/Example/AVPlayerAdapterExample/PlayerViewControllerSwift.swift

YouboraLib

Podspec:

• The v5 pod is Youbora-YouboraLib (podspec).
• The v6 pod is YouboraLib (podspec).

Repo:

• v5 is hosted on github as a closed-source binary framework.
• v6 is hosted on bitbucket as MIT-licensed source code 🤩.

The AVPlayer plugin / adapter

Separate from the main library, there is an adaper specific to AVPlayer.

Podspec:

• The v5 pod is Youbora-AVPlayer (podspec).
• The v6 pod is YouboraAVPlayerAdapter (podspec).
  • Note: the above cocoapods detail-page link currently redirects to the Youbora developer portal. I've opened an issue about this.

Repo:

• v5 is hosted on github as a closed-source binary framework.
• v6 is hosted on bitbucket as MIT-licensed source code 🤩.
  • The v6 repo also contains an iOS example project.
