Hi Joseph, good point, pod deintegrate followed by pod install is there as a last resort. It’s a little more heavy-handed than simply deleting the /Pods directory, as it removes build phases from your Xcode project as well. Since understanding how everything works, I’ve never so far needed to use it to recover, but it’s good to have in the toolbox.

What problems did you have with Carthage? I’ve never used it, so I’m interested to hear what prompted you to move your project to CocoaPods.
