ios - Using two versions of a Cocoapod dependency

Question

So I'm trying to get with the times and use some of the new features offered in AFNetworking 2.0. However, I am also using RestKit 0.20 which has AFNetworking 1.3 as a dependency? Am I allowed to incorporate AFNetworking 1.3 and 2.0 into my Xcode project or can I only pick one? Is there a CocoaPod trick for this?

CocoaPods does not (currently) do dependency resolution with multiple versions of the same library. I'm not sure about the technical difficulties surrounding this but I believe one way to think about why it would be a pain is duplicate symbol errors that we've all undoubtably seen before. Unless RestKit updates their AFNetworking integration, which would take some doing I'm sure for such a large library, you'll have to pick which one you need more.
