Uninstall/remove Carthage from iOS/Xcode project?

Here is a link to Carthage:

https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage

It additionally adds some changes in project files so I can simply remove extra files/folders and it will work but I can't use Carthage in future again because of some errors.

And of course there is no concrete instruction how to do it on its official page.

Solution

  • Removing Carthage has actually been pretty easy for me.

    1. I simply copy my frameworks from the Carthage folder into a frameworks folder I have in my main project folder.
    2. Make sure they are added back to the Xcode project from their new location.
    3. Search the entire project in Find navigator for references to Carthage. The only ones I found were in the Frameworks search paths under Build Settings. As long as you have a reference to your non-Carthage frameworks folder, you should be able to delete the Carthage references.
    4. Lastly, remove the copy-frameworks run script put in place to keep your Carthage frameworks up to date. Simply click the x in the top right run script phase xcode

    You should always be able to add Carthage back if you want, but these steps should remove it from a particular Xcode project, while keeping the frameworks you want.
