    Yes, you have to define the exact dependency version.

    e.g.

    pod 'Alamofire', '~> 5.0'

    means install the Alamofire having version 5.0 or later. So every time you run pod install it will try to install the latest compatible version.

     pod 'Alamofire', '5.0'

    This means install the exactly the 5.0 version even if new version is available. It will not change the lib version.

     pod 'Alamofire'

    This means install the latest version compatible to your pod version.

    So basically you have to remove ~> sign before the library version number.
