working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: A newer Command Line Tools release is available.
Update them from Software Update in System Preferences.

If that doesn't show you any updates, run:

What were you trying to do (and why)?

install the 1.11.3 version of cocoapods. Our project is not yet using the latest version of cocoapods.

What happened (include all command output)?

brew install cocoapods ==> Homebrew is run entirely by unpaid volunteers. Please consider donating: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew#donations

Running brew update --auto-update... ==> Auto-updated Homebrew!

You have 1 outdated formula installed.

Warning: Treating cocoapods as a formula. For the cask, use homebrew/cask/cocoapods Warning: cocoapods 1.12.1 is already installed and up-to-date. To reinstall 1.12.1, run: brew reinstall cocoapods

What did you expect to happen?

I would expect there to be a home brew command for specifying the version of cocoapods to install.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running `brew` commands)

run brew install cocoapods

It automatically installs cocoapods 1.12.1

That is not a supported usage for Homebrew

SandraNPR commented 1 year ago

@SMillerDev Will it ever be supported?

SMillerDev commented 1 year ago

Will you make a pull request to add support for it?

SandraNPR commented 1 year ago

@SMillerDev I'm new to this repo. How do I do that if I don't have a fix for it?

SMillerDev commented 1 year ago

In that case I don't think it'll ever be supported since Homebrew relies on volunteers contributing code to add new features.

SandraNPR commented 1 year ago

ok
