fastlane: Remove the cache for pods.
$ fastlane run clean_cocoapods_cache
try on your machine

The command "fastlane run clean_cocoapods_cache" is used to remove the CocoaPods cache stored on your machine. It is a command in the fastlane tool, which is a popular open-source tool for automating tasks in iOS and Android development.

The CocoaPods cache is a local cache that stores downloaded dependencies and other files related to CocoaPods. It helps in speeding up the build process by providing pre-downloaded and pre-processed files. However, sometimes the cache can become outdated or cause issues, so it may need to be cleared.

To use this command, you need to have fastlane installed in your project. When you run "fastlane run clean_cocoapods_cache," it triggers the fastlane action to clean the CocoaPods cache. This action will clear the cache and remove any outdated or unnecessary files.

It is important to note that this command only clears the local cache on your machine and does not affect any remote repositories or caches maintained by other team members. It can be useful before starting a new build or when troubleshooting issues related to CocoaPods.
