Ios Solutions

Solution 1 - Ios

Remove lib from Podfile, then pod install again.

Solution 2 - Ios

The unwanted side effects of simple folder delete or installing over existing installation have been removed by a script written by Kyle Fuller - deintegrate and here is the proper workflow:

Install clean:
```
sudo gem install cocoapods-clean
```
Run deintegrate in the folder of the project:
```
pod deintegrate
```
~~Clean~~ (this tool is no longer available):
```
pod clean
```
Modify your podfile (delete the lines with the pods you don't want to use anymore) and run:
```
pod install
```

Done.

Solution 3 - Ios

Remove the library from your Podfile
Run pod install on the terminal

Solution 4 - Ios

None of these worked for me. I have pod version 1.5.3 and the correct method was to remove the pods that were not longer needed from the Podfile and then run:

pod update

This updates your Podfile.lock file from your Podfile, removes libraries that have been removed and updates all of your libraries.

Solution 5 - Ios

Remove pod name(which to remove) from Podfile and then
Open Terminal, set project folder path
Run pod install --no-integrate

Solution 6 - Ios

First, determine which versions of Cocoapods are installed :

gem list --local | grep cocoapods

You get output as this:

cocoapods (1.11.2)
cocoapods-clean (0.0.1)
cocoapods-core (1.11.2, 1.10.2, 1.10.1)
cocoapods-deintegrate (1.0.4)

To completely remove, issue the following commands:

gem uninstall cocoapods
gem uninstall cocoapods-clean
gem uninstall cocoapods-core
gem uninstall cocoapods-deintegrate

Running again to confirm that Cocoapods has been removed:

gem list --local | grep cocoapods

You may have residual artefacts in a hidden folder in your directory. Remove these with:

rm -rf ~/.cocoapods

Solution 7 - Ios

Remove pod name from Podfile then Open Terminal, set project folder path and Run pod update command.

NOTE: pod update will update all the libraries to the latest version and will also remove those libraries whose name have been removed from podfile.
