Which is better to use for dependency management, Carthage or Gradle?

The question is about Carthage

Answer:

The choice between Carthage and Gradle depends on the development environment and project requirements. Carthage is more oriented to work with iOS and macOS projects and is responsible for managing Swift and Objective-C dependencies. It is lightweight, flexible, and suitable for developers who need minimum automation and manual control over integrating dependencies.
Gradle is a powerful build automation tool primarily for projects of Java, Kotlin, and Android. Advanced dependency management, scripting capabilities, and integration with large-scale build systems make up the core functionality of Gradle. Gradle is better suited for Java-based and multi-platform environments, Carthage is better suited for native Apple development.
