   *Note: Ensure that any inflight PRs that depend on the new `AppCheckCore` version are updated to point to the
   newly tagged version rather than a checksum.*
 
-### CocoaPods
-* Publish the newly versioned pod to CocoaPods
-
-  It's recommended to point to the `AppCheckCore.podspec` in `staging` to make sure the correct spec is being published.
-  ```console
-  pod repo update
-  pod trunk push ~/.cocoapods/repos/staging/AppCheckCore/{version}/AppCheckCore.podspec.json
-  ```
-  *Note: In some cases, it may be acceptable to `pod trunk push` with the `--skip-tests` flag. Please double check with
-  the maintainers before doing so.*
-
-  The pod push was successful if the above command logs: `🚀  AppCheckCore ({version}) successfully published`.
-  In addition, a new commit that publishes the new version (co-authored by [CocoaPodsAtGoogle](https://github.com/CocoaPodsAtGoogle))
-  should appear in the [CocoaPods specs repo](https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs). Last, the latest version should be displayed
-  on [AppCheckCore's CocoaPods page](https://cocoapods.org/pods/AppCheckCore).
