How to get latest GoogleMaps SDK using pods

问题:

1. I'm trying out the google places sdk sample. I installed it using

pod try GoogleMaps

2. I installed GoogleMaps (1.10.5) using cocoapods

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

platform :ios, '8.1'

pod 'GoogleMaps'

checking the GoogleMaps in both steps, the one in the sample (1) contains more headers like GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource.h

Why are they different? The one in the sample seems to be a better version but the one given by pods is not the latest? Its not even in the changelog

回答1:

Run pod update GoogleMaps. Cocoapods won't update the version of a pod you've already downloaded unless you explicitly run pod update or update the podspec to require a newer version. See https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/pod-install-vs-update.html for more details.

回答2:

I checked the latest podspec

I just need to set the version to the latest

e.g

pod 'GoogleMaps', '~> 2.5.0'

回答3:

In my project's podfile, I don't specify the version. The pod line just specifies: pod 'GoogleMaps'

So, if you don't include the version in the podfile, then the following command in a Terminal window will update to the latest version: pod 'GoogleMaps'

Please ensure the you are in the correct folder containing your podfile before entering this command.

It may take a while for Pod to process when you see this message: Updating local specs repositories.

Be patient - it took about 20 minutes.
