				|  |  | +## Use gRPC with OpenSSL
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +gRPC uses BoringSSL as its dependency, which is a fork of OpenSSL and export a number of symbols
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +that are the same as OpenSSL. gRPC avoids conflicts of these symbols by renaming BoringSSL symbols.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +If you need gRPC to use OpenSSL instead of BoringSSL (e.g. for the benefit of reducing the binary
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +size of your product), you need to make a local `gRPC-Core` podspec and tweak it accordingly:
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +- Copy the version of `/gRPC-Core.podspec` you wish to use from Github into the repository of your
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  app;
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +- In your `Podfile`, add the following line:
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +```
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +pod `gRPC-Core`, :podspec => "." # assuming gRPC-Core.podspec is in the same directory as your Podfile
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +```
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +- Remove [the
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  macro](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/b24b212ee585d376c618235905757b2445ac6461/gRPC-Core.podspec#L186)
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  `GRPC_SHADOW_BORINGSSL_SYMBOLS` to disable symbol renaming;
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +- Substitude the `BoringSSL-GRPC`
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  [dependency](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/b24b212ee585d376c618235905757b2445ac6461/gRPC-Core.podspec#L184)
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  to whatever pod of OpenSSL your other libraries use.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +These steps should allow gRPC to use OpenSSL and drop BoringSSL dependency. If you see any issue,
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +file an issue to us.
