Nimbus framework, using CocoaPods, with the Xcode 5 and iOS 7 SDK

Question

Endless issues here:

1. Nimbus itself is bloated and less maintained every day
2. I feel, I am forced to upgrade Nimbus from 0.9.3 to 1.0.0 for various reasons
3. Upgrading Nimbus from 0.9.3 to 1.0.0 has lots of changes (e.g., AFNetworking)
4. Latest podspec depends on JSONKit, which won't build out–of–the–box, because of ARC/deprecation issues

Anyone could/did manage to build with Xcode 5 and iOS 7 SDK for, at least, iOS 7 target?

Answer 1

I had to define my own specs for CocoaPods here.
