## What it is
A CocoaPods plugin that removes all traces of CocoaPods integration from an Xcode project, deleting build phases, library references, xcconfig files, and Pod groups. It is invoked via the `pod deintegrate` command.

## Use cases
- remove cocoapods from an xcode project
- migrate a project from cocoapods to swift package manager
- clean up pod build phases and xcconfig references
- deintegrate pods before switching dependency managers
- undo cocoapods integration in an ios app

## When to choose
- you want to fully remove CocoaPods from an Xcode project
- you are migrating to SPM or Carthage and need a clean project
- you need to strip pod-related build phases and file references automatically

## When to avoid
- your project still relies on CocoaPods for dependencies
- you need to remove leftover Podfile, Podfile.lock, or workspace files - these remain after deintegration
- you work outside the Apple/Xcode ecosystem
