title: Google AdMob Podfile - Manual vs Auto Version Update?
body: <p>OK, apologies if this may come across as a 'green' question ...</p>
  
  <p>I have incorporated the Google AdMob SDK via CocoaPods successfully.</p>
  
  <p>My pod file looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
  
  platform :ios, '7.0'
  pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~&gt; 7.0'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So my Podfile should automatically 'grab' any version 'newer' than version 7.0.</p>
  
  <p>I am still developing my app, and when I run tests on my physical device, I am presented with this type of message in the console:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p> You are currently using version 7.8.0 of the SDK. Please
    consider updating your SDK to the most recent SDK version to get the
    latest features and bug fixes. The latest SDK can be downloaded from
    ....</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I run <code>Podinstall</code> command via the terminal targeting my relevant directory that holds my development app's latest Xcode project, and it updates all relevant Google Mobile Ad SDKs to the current version.</p>
  
  <p>I guess while my app is not 'live', my Podfile is essentially inactive in terms of updating itself automatically.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question :</strong> If I were to upload my project today to the App Store with my Podfile updated to the most current Google AdMob SDK version, will it automatically update my project to the most current version thereafter? Are the three (3) lines of code in my Podfile sufficient?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks and apologies in advance if this is an extremely basic question ;)</p>
