Cocoapods: Update a specific pod in dependicies

I want to update only a specific SDK or a library from Cocoa pods dependency manager.

✅ First, check the version of the pod that you wish to update

• Open Podfile.lock

Podfile.lock keeps track of the resolved versions of each Pod installed, it’s not advisable to edit this file & it’s generated when performing pod operations such as install or update.

⛵️Next, let’s update the version of the Pod

• Open terminal & cd <PROJECT_DIR>

pod update POD_NAME

pod update will NOT respect the podfile.lock. It will override it.

Alternatively if you wish to update to a specific version of a Pod

• Open Podfile

pod 'POD_NAME', 'POD_VERSION'

In terminal, perform pod install
