1. The first thing that you will need to do is remove the Podfile, Podfile.lock, the Pods folder, and the generated workspace.
2. Next, in the .xcodeproj, remove the references to the Pods.xcconfig files and the libPods.a file.
3. Within the Build Phases project tab, delete the Check Pods Manifest.lock section (open), Copy Pods Resources section (bottom) and Embed Pod Resources(bottom).
4. Remove Pods.framework.

The only thing you may want to do is include some of the libraries that you were using before. You can do this by simply draging whatever folders where in the pods folders into your project (I prefer to put them into my Supporting Files folder).

It worked for me.
