+How to update the version of an external dependency in the template podspec files:
+
+1. Update the information (Version/Checksum/URL) in the .podspec file
+2. Check if WebIdExternalSpecs locally exists using 'pod repo list'
+2. If not, execute the following command: 'pod repo add WebIdExternalSpecs ssh://git@api.webid-solutions.de:22224/Cocoa/ExternalSpecs.git' to clone the WebIdExternalSpecds repo
+3. Attempt to push the updated template file locally to see if it works using 'pod repo push WebIdExternalSpecs templates/Ahoy/AhoyKit.podspec --local-only'
+4. If the last command ran successfully, push to origin using 'pod repo push WebIdExternalSpecs templates/Ahoy/AhoyKit.podspec'
