My question is how to update the pod files. Currently the versions of pod file is 2.3. How can i migrate it to 3.0.

Answer 1

If you haven't updated cocoapod itself, I recommend you to do a gem install cocoapods to get the latest version, working with Xcode 8.x

If your pods are not tagged with any version restriction like pod 'ReachabilitySwift', '~> 2' you just need to run pod update, otherwise you need to check yourself first which version you need/want for swift 3.

Answer 2

For pod update : type pod update in terminal For migration of your project, open it up in Xcode 8+ and there will an option of automatic conversion. Check this one out if issues arises.

NOTE: Keep backup of your old project somewhere.
