I have done some changes to the files inside the Pods Folder of Third-party Package and I want to store them with the project but when i run the pod install command, the changes revert backs to original one. Any idea will be appreciated.

I have tried to patch the package but it only patches the changes to the package(inside the node_modules) and not the pods.

To preserve your local changes to a third-party package in the Pods folder, follow these steps:

  • Fork repository:
    Go to the GitHub repo & click on the "Fork" button at the top-right corner to create a copy of the repository under your GitHub account.

  • Clone forked repository:
    Open a terminal or command prompt on your local machine & clone the forked repository to your computer.

  • Update the Code:
    Make the necessary changes/update to the package codebase and update dependencies if required.

  • Use updated forked package:
    Now import your forked package as a new package into the project.
    (You can also generate PR request for contribute to others developers)

Open the Podfile in a text editor and Add the following line to include the pod from the forked repository:

target 'Runner' do
  # ... other pods ...

  pod 'YourForkedPod', :git => 'https://github.com/YourGitHubUsername/YourForkedPod.git', :branch => 'branch_name_if_needed'

end
