With the release of Cocoapods 1.5, you can now compile all your pods as static libraries, even if some or all of them use Swift. This means that instead of building them as dynamic frameworks which are loaded when your app launches, the code is combined with your app binary at compile time. This can improve app launch times and the download size of your app if you depend on a lot of pods.
