"_OBJC_CLASS_$_FIRApp not found" when using Admob C++ SDK in xcode

[MatkatMusic]

Howdy.  I'm trying to use the Firebase Admob C++ SDK in my project for IOS and I'm stuck on this linker error in the subject.  

My project was created with the JUCE framework, which is a C++ cross-platform framework for writing audio apps and plugins.  JUCE has a tool called "ProJucer" which automatically generates a .xcodeproj file for you with search paths/compiler configs/etc specified by the user: 

the only thing I'm currently doing in my project (a hello world project) is including the headers as described here: 

https://firebase.google.com/docs/admob/cpp/quick-start

#include "firebase/admob.h"
#include "firebase/admob/types.h"
#include "firebase/app.h"
#include "firebase/future.h"

that results in the following linker errors: 

Here are my search paths: 

the Header Search Paths are:

Compiler flags: 

-F/Users/Shevy/Dropbox/CharlesShared/firebase_cpp_sdk/frameworks/ios/universal/
-fno-aligned-allocation

the `-fno-aligned-allocation` is so I can compiler back to iOS 9.3

I'm **NOT** using Cocoa Pods to set up the project.  i'm just following the instructions here: 

1. Download the Firebase C++ SDK. Extract the files somewhere convenient.

2. Add the frameworks downloaded in the SDK to your Xcode project. Note that you only need to include the base Firebase framework, along with the frameworks that correspond to the services you want to use (refer to the dependencies section below). The easiest way to do this is usually just to drag them from a Finder window directly onto the project navigator pane in Xcode (left-most pane, by default - click the file icon at the top left).

I've been stuck on this error for a good 4 days.  does anyone have any idea how to solve this and get the framework working WITHOUT using CocoaPods? 

Thanks!

just wanted to add, if I need to provide an Xcode Project file and source code, I can do that!  the JUCE framework is very popular among audio developers who write audio apps and plugins for not just mac and windows, but also android and iOS.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Could you provide to us the project you are working on so we can have a closer look on our end?

Hi Ivan.  I got it working, actually.  I didn't know that I needed to first include all of the files normally included when you use CocoaPods to create the xcworkspace.  With that said, I am having trouble getting ads to appear.  I'll start a separate topic for that tho and share my C++ code that I'm using to display the ad.

Hi Chuck,

I'm glad that you were able to resolve the Linker errors on your end.

Given that you are not using CocoaPods, it is correct that you have to manually include on your end the required frameworks specified for AdMob in this table.

As for the ads not appearing on your end, please note that there are a number of factors that could affect Ad serving. For this new issue, it is indeed best that you create a new thread with the details and we'll continue our investigation from there.
