Old Google Maps pod (2.7.0) keeps coming back on iOS

I’m trying to upgrade Google Maps to 8.4.0.

I set:

 var.ios.pods.GoogleMaps.version=8.4.0
    codename1.arg.ios.pods=GoogleMaps 8.4.0,Cordova ~> 6.1
    codename1.arg.ios.pods.platform=13.0
    codename1.arg.ios.pods.sources=https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git

However, during iOS cloud build I still see:

  GoogleMaps ${var.ios.pods.GoogleMaps.version:2.7.0}

and the build fails due to conflicting Google Maps versions.

It seems a Codename One library is injecting:

  GoogleMaps ${var.ios.pods.GoogleMaps.version:2.7.0}

even though I removed all old references.

Question: What is the correct way to override or prevent a CN1 library from re-adding an older CocoaPods dependency version? also other references being overridden as well
