 Matrix iOS SDK
 ==============
 
@@ -20,6 +21,18 @@ This SDK implements an interface to communicate with the Matrix Client/Server
 API which is defined at http://matrix.org/docs/api/client-server/.
 
 
+Pod Deprecation
+===============
+
+The SDK is no longer published directly to Cocopods following recent linting issues
+with Xcode 14.3 and greater: `CocoaPods/CocoaPods#11839 <https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/11839>`_.
+This deprecation *only* covers the published pod, the SDK is still being maintained.
+
+It is however worth noting that we're now primarily focussed on the `Matrix Rust SDK <https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk>`_ 
+and its respective FFI bindings which are available as a `Swift package <https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-components-swift/>`_.
+This would likely be a more sensible choice for anyone starting a new project using Matrix on Apple platforms.
