[ios] How to check version of a CocoaPods framework

I have updated Flurry via CocoaPods, but how can I check if Flurry was updated?

I mean the terminal shown me that everything is ok:

Installing FlurrySDK (4.2.3)
Generating Pods project
Integrating client project

but I am not sure that it has been updated.

The highest voted answer (MishieMoo) is correct but it doesn't explain how to open Podfile.lock. Everytime I tried I kept getting:

You open it in terminal by going to the folder it's in and running:

vim Podfile.lock

I got the answer from here: how to open Podfile.lock

You close it by pressing the colon and typing quit or by pressing the colon and the letter q then enter

:quit // then return key
:q // then return key

Another way is in terminal, you can also cd to the folder that your Xcode project is in and enter

$ open Podfile.lock -a Xcode

Doing it the second way, after it opens just press the red X button in the upper left hand corner to close.

You can figure out version of Cocoapods by using below command :

pod —-version

o/p : 1.2.1

Now if you want detailed version of Gems and Cocoapods then use below command :

gem which cocoapods (without sudo)

o/p : /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/cocoapods-1.2.1/lib/cocoapods.rb

sudo gem which cocoapods (with sudo)

o/p : /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/cocoapods-1.2.1/lib/cocoapods.rb

Now if you want to get specific version of Pod present in Podfile then simply use command pod install in terminal. This will show list of pod being used in project along with version.

[CocoaPods]

Cocoapods version

CocoaPods program that is built with Ruby and it will be installable with the default Ruby available on macOS.

pod --version //1.8.0.beta.2
//or
gem which cocoapods //Library/Ruby/Gems/2.3.0/gems/cocoapods-1.8.0.beta.2/lib/cocoapods.rb

//install or update
sudo gem install cocoapods

A pod version

Version of pods that is specified in Podfile

Podfile.lock

It is located in the same folder as Podfile. Here you can find a version of a pod which is used

Search for pods

If you are interested in all available version of specific pod you can use

pod search <pod_name>
//or
pod trunk info <pod_name>

Set a pod version in Podfile

//specific version
pod '<framework_name>', "<semantic_versioning>"
// for example
pod 'MyFramework', "1.0"

pod --version used this to check the version of the last installed pod

I wrote a small commandline tool that parses the Podfile.lock and shows which version of each Pod is currently installed. It will also check for the latest version online and give you a summary of dependencies which are out-of-date.

You can find it on Github: https://github.com/citruz/podchecker

pod outdated

When you run pod outdated, CocoaPods will list all pods that have newer versions that the ones listed in the Podfile.lock (the versions currently installed for each pod) and that could be updated (as long as it matches the restrictions like pod 'MyPod', '~>x.y' set in your Podfile)

Podfile.lock file right under Podfile within your project.

The main thing is , Force it to open through your favourite TextEditor, like Sublime or TextEdit [Open With -> Select Sublime] as it doesn't give an option straight away to open.

To check version of cocoapods from terminal:

For Sudoless:

gem which cocoapods

For Sudo:

sudo gem which cocoapods

Also note: If you want to edit podfile or podfile.lock don't edit it in editors. Open only with XCode.

pod --version

to get the version of installed pod
