"pod update" doesn't update to latest version

Question

Here is my podfile I use in the project:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.0'
pod 'GoogleMaps'
pod 'MONActivityIndicatorView'
pod 'NYXImagesKit'
pod 'MagicalRecord'
pod 'FBSDKCoreKit'
pod 'FBSDKShareKit'
pod 'FBSDKLoginKit'
pod 'Countly'

The problem is that cocoapods 0.39 is updating AFNetworking to version 2.5.4 which is wrong. The latest version is 2.6.3 Also facebook SDK updating to 4.4 (latest is 4.8) etc.

I tried to delete Pods folder and .lock file but doesn't help

Also tried to clean the cocoapods cache but didn't help:

is your cocoa pods up to date? – Urba

yes. I updated cocoapods to version 0.39.0 as described above – Daliadalila

Maybe try to remove , '~> 2.0' from AFNetworking line? and remove force-use of frameworks? – Pawnshop

Make sure the podspec version info is correct, and that version points to the correct tag – Cindycine

Answer 1

Removing and reinstalling of cocoapods solved the problem:

MACMINI:myproject myusername$ sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
Password:
MACMINI:myproject myusername$ pod setup
Setting up CocoaPods master repo
Setup completed
MACMINI:myproject myusername$ cd ~/myproject/

This solution is overkill. The problem is likely a dependency within the Podfile that must be upgraded first. – Rift

Answer 2

In my case, Neon wouldn't update for me. It turns out it was because of the deployment target.

Changed platform :ios, '8.0' to platform :ios, '10.0'

And update worked normally.

Correct answer. I searched a lot, tried using several methods and this guy saved my time finally. – Unhitch

this is perfect solution! thanks Bojacob – Prosciutto

Answer 3

One of the reasons CocoaPods won't pick up the latest version of the pod could be another dependency that required an earlier version.

For example, suppose the latest version of PodA is 2.6 and you have this in your Podfile:

pod 'PodA', '~> 2.0'
pod 'PodB'

Unbeknown to you, PodB has the following dependency: "PodA": "~> 2.5.4"

When CocoaPods tries to satisfy the dependencies, it will reject version 2.6 of PodA because it fails to satisfy the stronger dependency constraint on PodB.

One way to troubleshoot this is to ask CocoaPods to print the internal dependency graph debugging information by setting the following environment variable prior to running "pod update"

export MOLINILLO_DEBUG=1

Paraclete

For anyone stuck here figuring out which dep it is, try forcing one of the Pods to its latest version, such as pod 'Firebase/Firestore', '> 8.6.0' and running pod update. If it's unable to satisfy the dep using your version it should tell you which pod caused that. In my case it was FirebaseFirestoreSwift wanting a super old version of Firestore. I fixed it by hardcoding it to the latest beta pod 'FirebaseFirestoreSwift', '8.6.0-beta' – Julissajulita
