 ### CocoaPods

+> [!WARNING]
+> CocoaPods support is deprecated. New versions will stop being published to the CocoaPods trunk before CocoaPods' central trunk becomes read-only on 2 December 2026. We recommend migrating to [Swift Package Manager](#swift-package-manager), or installing `Intercom.xcframework` [manually](#manual-installation). Versions already published to CocoaPods will continue to install as normal.

 Cocoapods 1.11.0 is required to install Intercom.
