How to update just one library from the Cartfile with Carthage?

Question

My Cartfile has many libraries. When I do carthage update it goes through all the libraries. That can take very long time.

Is there a way to update just a s

Answer 1

Looks like carthage update repo-name doesn't work on Carthage 0.36.0. I solved this problem by manually updating Carthage.resolved. For example, add to a Cartfile a new dependency:

github "konkab/AlamofireNetworkActivityLogger" ~> 3.0.0

Add to a Cartfile.resolved a new dependency manually:

github "konkab/AlamofireNetworkActivityLogger" "3.0.0"

Then do carthage bootstrap to only update one dependency:

carthage bootstrap

It will use Carthage.resolved and just add one dependency.

Answer 2

I tried all of the answers, and for me only removing or commenting temporarily the repositories and after running

carthage update --platform ios

after I restore the Catfile to previous state

Answer 3

I ended up writing my own script that builds a single dependency for me and merges it with my existing dependencies. You can find it at https://github.com/ruipfcosta/carthage-workarounds.

Answer 4

If the framework isn't stored in GitHub, or you are using the git identifier, and your cartfile looks like this:

git "ssh://git@bitbucket.org/teamname/repo-name.git" ~> 1.0

then you can update only that one running the following command

carthage update repo-name

Answer 5

Carthage supports updating single dependencies now.If you have something like this in your Cartfile:

github "bitstadium/HockeySDK-iOS"

Then you can update only this one dependency by running

carthage update HockeySDK-iOS

Answer 6

Right now the answer is no... If your run carthage help update you'll see

Update and rebuild the project's dependencies

[--configuration Release]
    the Xcode configuration to build (ignored if --no-build option is present)

[--platform all]
    the platform to build for (ignored if --no-build option is present)

[--verbose]
    print xcodebuild output inline (ignored if --no-build option is present)

[--no-build]
    skip the building of dependencies after updating

[--use-ssh]
    use SSH for downloading GitHub repositories

[--use-submodules]
    add dependencies as Git submodules

[--no-use-binaries]
    check out dependency repositories even when prebuilt frameworks exist (ignored if --no-build option is present)

[--color auto]
    whether to apply color and terminal formatting (one of ‘auto’, ‘always’, or ‘never’)

[/path/to/your/app]
    the directory containing the Carthage project

As you can see there is no mention to an option to specify only one dependency to update.

You should open an issue on the project repo asking to support that.
