diff "${PODS_ROOT}/../Podfile.lock" "${PODS_ROOT}/Manifest.lock" > /dev/nullwith:
diff "${SRCROOT}/Podfile.lock" "${SRCROOT}/Pods/Manifest.lock" > /dev/null
Method 2: Deintegrate and Reinstall Pods
- Open Terminal and navigate to your project directory.
- Run the following commands:
pod deintegrate --verbose<br>pod install --verbose
Method 3: Clean Project and Rebuild
