Download lower version pod file

I was working with xcode 8.3.1 and in my current project I would like to integrate below thirdparty :

use_frameworks!

  target 'YourAppTargetName' do
     pod 'SQLite.swift', '~> 0.11.3'
  end

but although it was installing latest pod file (which is of version 0.11.4).

Here my issue is I am working with xcode 8.3.1 and latest version of pod file ('SQLite.swift', '~> 0.11.4') supports only Xcode 9 and swift 4.So it will be great favour if any one can guide how to install 0.11.3 version pod file of my required framework.

Solution

Besides no version, or a specific one, it is also possible to use logical operators:

'> 0.1' Any version higher than 0.1
'>= 0.1' Version 0.1 and any higher version
'< 0.1' Any version lower than 0.1
'<= 0.1' Version 0.1 and any lower version

In addition to the logic operators CocoaPods has an optimistic operator ~>:

'~> 0.1.2' Version 0.1.2 and the versions up to 0.2, not including 0.2 and higher
'~> 0.1' Version 0.1 and the versions up to 1.0, not including 1.0 and higher
'~> 0' Version 0 and higher, this is basically the same as not having it.

the detail info you get in guides.cocoapods

if you want in below, then use

target 'YourAppTargetName' do
 pod 'SQLite.swift', '< 0.11.3'
end

and execute pod install again from terminal.
