 ## CocoaPods
 
-CRuby is a git submodule of RubyGateway, refer to it via Xcode options.
-
-CocoaPods seems to be wedded to 'one module per pod [per target?]'.  I
-don't want a separate pod for RubyGatewayHelpers.  But, unlike SPM, CP is
-happy to build mixed Swift-ObjC modules.  So the RubyGatewayHelpers code
-is just built as part of RubyGateway.
-
-But, RubyGateway still does `import RubyGatewayHelpers`.  Luckily nothing is
-explicitly namespaced, so we just need to make the import pass.  This happens
-by creating a dummy module (empty modulemap) during pod install.
-
-Unfortunately, and this is probably not CP's fault, doing it this way makes
-it impossible to keep the RubyGatewayHelpers header file out of the RubyGateway
-module map, which means users importing RubyGateway also get the `rbg_` symbols
-polluting their autocomplete.
-
-Really want to edit the module map after the build is complete, could probably
-do via `script_phase` but not sure I want the warning on install / overhead of
-maintaining the files.
-
-Everything is just about OK.
+Too broken and poorly understood in 2024; RIP.
 
 ## Ruby 3 notes
 
-* The Ruby3 Xcode project has include paths and compiler flag settings for Ruby 3.
-* It assumes ~/.rbenv
-* Need to configure the CRuby submodule too for that same rbenv
-
 Spell to get Swift docs for CRuby if Xcode can't do it:
