Please rewrite project to use CocoaPods

[anonym24]

it would be much easier to install tensorflow using CocoaPods https://www.tensorflow.org/mobile/ios_build

building from source is so much pain (when you don't even have a mac, but use virtual machines)

I tried to change it to CocoaPods by-myself, but as I saw in the project it also needs Google Protobuf files (but this lib is created/downloaded only when building tensorflow ios from source using build script build_all_ios_ssd.sh)

so it would be great to update it to CocoaPods and resolve this issue #11
remove TF-Root from project settings (as we don't need when we have tensorflow from CocoaPods)

I tried again to build from source with sh script, finally successful build, using the latest clonned tensorflow
but still iOS_Tensorflow_ObjectDetection_Example project needs 3.3.2 protobuf (seems tensorflow use 3.3.0) and some other errors, also nsync is available only at downloads/nsync, but not at gen/nsync (no such folder), in your project settings one lib path is set to $(TF_ROOT)/tensorflow/contrib/makefile/gen/nsync

tensorflow/contrib/makefile/compile_nsync.sh -t ios says that everything is ok (already was built)

this time before building I forgot to run ./config.sh
but still I don't think I'll get newer google probuf version

after your ./config I can't build anymore using next commands:

tensorflow/contrib/makefile/download_dependencies.sh
tensorflow/contrib/makefile/compile_ios_protobuf.sh 
tensorflow/contrib/makefile/compile_ios_tensorflow_s.sh "-O3  -DANDROID_TYPES=ANDROID_TYPES_FULL -DSELECTIVE_REGISTRATION -DSUPPORT_SELECTIVE_REGISTRATION"
