There’s a mismatch between the path SonarQube is showing you (Pods/…) and the one you’re providing to analysis (multiple/directories/then/Pods). Further, I think you need to exclude the files in the directory. So something like:
sonar.exclusions=**/Pods/**/*.*
Despite what I said about the path to Pods, I started with a leading ** (0-n directories) just to be safe. It would probably work without it.
