I don t think you need to deintegrate anymore  I was able to do it with the following command in terminal   pod install  and it automatically removed the ones that are no longer in the podfile

I tried all these answers but it still wouldn t build  eventually I tried   pod deintegrate pod install   which actually worked   It s like it needs to remove all the pod scripts from your build phases and re-add them back in for it to work  at least in my case

The first thing that you will need to do is remove the Podfile  Podfile lock  the Pods folder  and the generated workspace  Next  in the  xcodeproj  remove the references to the Pods xcconfig files and the libPods a file  Within the Build Phases project tab  delete the Check Pods Manifest lock section  open   Copy Pods Resources section  bottom  and Embed Pod Resources bottom   Remove Pods framework    The only thing you may want to do is include some of the libraries that you were using before  You can do this by simply draging whatever folders where in the pods folders into your project  I prefer to put them into my Supporting Files folder    It worked for me

I think there s a more easy way to do that   As edited by the accepted answer  now you can use a third party plugin cocoapods-deintegrate  it s reliable because its made by a CocoaPods core team member    But there re still some files remain   Podfile Podfile lock Workspace   You could remove them from your project manually but there s also another tool for helping you to clean them  thanks cocoapods-clean   Finally  the uninstallation work is still not completed  cocoapods-clean don t clean the Podfile  just run   rm Podfile   Cheers   Before removing you should ensure you have a backup of your project

Removing CocoaPods from a project is possible  but not currently automated by the CLI  First thing  if the only issue you have is not being able to use an xcworkspace you can use CocoaPods with just xcodeprojs by using the --no-integrate flag which will produce the Pods xcodeproj but not a workspace  Then you can add this xcodeproj as a subproject to your main xcodeproj   If you really want to remove all CocoaPods integration you need to do a few things   NOTE editing some of these things if done incorrectly could break your main project  I strongly encourage you to check your projects into source control just in case  Also these instructions are for CocoaPods version 0 39 0  they could change with new versions    Delete the standalone files  Podfile Podfile lock and your Pods directory  Delete the generated xcworkspace Open your xcodeproj file  delete the references to Pods xcconfig and libPods a  in the Frameworks group  Under your Build Phases delete the Copy Pods Resources  Embed Pods Frameworks and Check Pods Manifest lock phases  This may seem obvious but you ll need to integrate the 3rd party libraries some other way or remove references to them from your code    After those steps you should be set with a single xcodeproj that existed before you integrated CocoaPods  If I missed anything let me know and I will edit this   Also we re always looking for suggestions for how to improve CocoaPods so if you have an issues please submit them in our issue tracker so we can come up with a way to fix them   EDIT  As shown by Jack Wu in the comments there is a third party CocoaPods plugin that can automate these steps for you  It can be found here  Note that it is a third party plugin and might not always be updated when CocoaPods is  Also note that it is made by a CocoaPods core team member so that problem won t be a problem
