Xcode – How do you create a .netrc file?

I’m attempting to download the Mapbox Maps SDK for ios but I’m having trouble understanding how to create a .netrc file. I’m supposed to store my secret token to download the SDK and I can’t add the SDK dependency with Cocoapods until I do this first. Anyone know how to go about this?

Here’s the installation page for reference.

https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/guides/install/#add-the-dependency

The format for the .netrc file is as follows:

machine api.mapbox.com
login mapbox
password <INSERT SECRET API TOKEN>

Thank you in advance!
