pod: Show the outdated pods (of those currently installed).

$ pod outdated

try on your machine

The "pod outdated" command is used in CocoaPods, which is a dependency manager for iOS projects.

When you run this command in the terminal inside your iOS project directory, CocoaPods will compare the versions of the pods (external libraries) in your Podfile.lock file with the latest versions available in the remote repositories.

This command helps you identify which pods have newer versions available, indicating that those pods could be updated to benefit from bug fixes, new features, performance improvements, or security patches. The outdated pods are displayed in the terminal, along with the current and latest available versions.

After running "pod outdated," you can decide whether to update the specific pods, by manually editing your Podfile and running "pod install" to fetch and apply the latest versions.
