Remove or uninstall library previously added : cocoapods

Question

I added an external framework via cocoapods into my iOS application. How can i remove that library from the project?

Answer 1

Since the accepted answer's side effects have been removed by a script written by Kyle Fuller - deintegrate, I'll post the proper workflow here:

1. Install clean:

   $ sudo gem install cocoapods-clean
   

2. Run deintegrate in the folder of the project:

   $ pod deintegrate

3. Clean:

   $ pod clean

4. Modify your podfile (delete the lines with the pods you don't want to use anymore) and run:

   $ pod install

Done.

Answer 2

Remove lib from Podfile, then pod install again.

Answer 3

1. Remove the library from your Podfile

2. Run pod install on the terminal

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.
