ios - Is it possible to exclude dependency in Cocoapods? -

firebase/messaging have dependencies on:

using firebase using firebaseanalytics using firebasecore using firebaseinstanceid using firebasemessaging using googleinterchangeutilities using googlesymbolutilities using googletoolboxformac 

i know possible exclude googletoolboxformac? problem have 1 static library included use googletoolboxformac without cocoapods.

so want know possible or not?

assuming version of googletoolboxformac date enough satisfy firebase/messaging's requirements, following:

• find xcconfig files each of build schemes: find . | grep xcconfig
• edit them , remove following 3 strings:
• "$pods_configuration_build_dir/googletoolboxformac"
• -iquote "$pods_configuration_build_dir/googletoolboxformac/googletoolboxformac.framework/headers"
• -framework "googletoolboxformac"

you'll have redo whenever pod update

however, @valentin says, not recommended. better remove googletoolboxformac building existing static library , depend on cocoapod satisfy googletoolboxformac dependencies.
