Cocoapods: sudo gem install cocoapods --pre vs --prerelease

[intelliot]

In most places, the command uses --pre, but on http://blog.cocoapods.org/Pod-Authors-Guide-to-CocoaPods-Frameworks/ , it says --prerelease

Also -
I tried both, but I still seem to be on 0.35 rather than 0.36 as I'd expected.

This means that the pod binstub frontmost in your PATH is not the one you are updating. It is not a CP issue, but one with your local ruby setup.

[t0rst]

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods --pre

( Other alternatives, if people are finding this, is to specify your pod version via pod _[version]_ install e.g. pod _1.0.0.beta.8_ install )
