Removing Pod from project - xcode

Question

I'm trying to remove pod from my project. After i'm deleting all the files and everything i'm getting this messages

diff: /../Podfile.lock: No such file or directory
diff: /Manifest.lock: No such file or directory
error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

I tried to remove the pods from the project, reinstall them, remove the script from the build phase, nothing is working.

Answer 1

remove the pod from the pod file then reinstall pods

open terminal and type

cd ~/projectDirectoryPath

then type

open -a Xcode Podfile

this will open up the podfile

delete the line

 pod 'Alamofire'

then save the file (Alamofire is just an example)

in the terminal type

pod install

and this should update the project and remove the unwanted pod file..

Answer 2

Ok, I fixed it.

Just use this tool https://github.com/kylef/cocoapods-deintegrate and now everything works fine!

Answer 3

Just to simplify what Aviv mentioned, if you want to completely remove all traces of any pods from a project then just delete all of the pod related files from your project folder and run:

sudo gem install cocoapods-deintegrate

pod deintegrate

And the sandbox Podfile.lock error should go away.

Answer 4

Removing Pod from project

open terminal and run these scripts

$ pod deintegrate
$ pod clean
$ rm Podfile

last but not lease,

remove the projectFile.xcworkspace from the project
