Automated Dependency Updates for CocoaPods

Renovate supports updating CocoaPods dependencies.

File Matching

By default, Renovate will check any files matching the following regular expression: (^|/)Podfile$.

For details on how to extend a manager's fileMatch value, please follow this link.

Supported datasources

This manager supports extracting the following datasources: git-tags, github-tags, gitlab-tags, pod.

Additional Information

The cocoapods manager supports extracting both "pod" type references as well as dependencies on GitHub repositories that use versioned tags.

Whenever a Podfile is updated, Renovate will also update any accompanying Podfile.lock file. This is done using the cocoapods gem which runs within the Ruby runtime.
