How to change the version of a Cocoapod's dependency

Question

I am using a Cocoapod whose podspec specifies a dependency, and this dependency in turn specifies another.

The second-level dependency in question has a conflict with the latest beta version of Xcode 9. The issue has been fixed in the project's github but it has not appeared on Cocoapods yet.

But the dependency itself of course does not appear in my Podfile.

Is there an easy way to force the use of a specific version of the dependency in this case?

Answer 1

I solved this by simply adding the specific version of the dependency to my own Podfile.

This works because you cannot have multiple versions of a single Cocoapod in your project.

Example:

    pod 'MatrixKit', :git => 'https://github.com/My-Fork/matrix-ios-kit.git', :branch => 'master'
    pod 'MatrixSDK', :git => 'https://github.com/My-Fork/matrix-ios-sdk.git', :branch => 'master'
    pod 'MatrixSDK/Core', :git => 'https://github.com/My-Fork/matrix-ios-sdk.git', :branch => 'master'
    pod 'Realm', :git => 'https://github.com/My-Fork/realm-cocoa.git', :tag => 'v10.1.4', submodules: true
