Removing a single pod without updating all other pods, see the pod install --no-repo-update answer here: https://mcmap.net/q/544006/-how-to-remove-specific-pod-without-touching-other-dependencies – Cepheus

Answer 1

You have to edit the Podfile ($ emacs Podfile in terminal.app) and remove the line pod 'nyximagekit' from it. (ctrl+x, ctrl+s to save, then ctrl-x, ctrl+c to quit emacs)

Once you did that, run pod update and it will remove nyximagekit from your project.

why use the terminal when you could easily open the podfile with any editor? – Howells

terminal will not add anything else to the file when editing, while some rich text editor will – Czarevitch

Thanks u all. it really help. – Anthroposophy

@Howells Its depend on users convenience. Some one are addicted to terminal and command line. So they preferred terminal rather then text editor. Also, some editors convert quotes to smart quotes. – Midland

i removed pod. after that xcode shows missing file which is in removed pod. what can i do. – Wilfredowilfrid

Worked all good. I had to delete a folder in the project and a freamwork in the app setting, though. Oh... and... the pod update command updated another framework that fixed a bug I've been researching lately, hehe :D – Seavir

Remove the pod from your podfile, then run pod install again.

Oh and please user the search function ;) The same question was asked before: https://mcmap.net/q/55695/-remove-or-uninstall-library-previously-added-cocoapods – Howells

Wish I could mark your answer as the correct one @palme. I had to read the accepted answer 2-3 times just to get what it was saying. Good grief. thanks for the short, concise and correct answer. :) – Nerland

This should be the correct answer. "pod update" is used to update all pods to latest version while "pod install" is used to add or remove pods either from the initial pod setup or to update pod additions and removals. See guides.cocoapods.org/using/pod-install-vs-update.html for details. – Haakon

This did not work. It's still in the podfile.lock and project compiles despite library being removed. The hassle of using Cocoapods is simply not worth the small benefit - it's constantly changing, does not work half of the time expect for the first install and completely obscure. – Shardashare
