can't compile in Xcode to build a ios app using Unity SDK

[Zhao Ximing]

Hi,

  

  I am using Unity SDK and have already download the ios SDK and import the framework to Xcode, and it keeps showing that

 " error: unknown type name 'GADNativeExpressAdView'; did you mean 'GADUNativeExpressAd'?

@property(nonatomic, strong) GADNativeExpressAdView *nativeExpressAdView;

                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                             GADUNativeExpressAd"

After googled a while, I have set the `enable Modules (C and Objective-C)` flag of Apple LLVM 8.1 - Language - Modules of Building Settings to YES, But things still not work out

Here is the environment:

   Unity 5.5.2f

   Xcode version

      Xcode 8.3.2

Hi Zhao, 

The exported Xcode project from Unity already includes the Mobile Ads SDK in it. Have you tried building and running a fresh copy of the exported XCode project as specified in this guide without importing the Mobile Ads framework and see if you still encounter the build errors?

Hi, Ivan

Thanks for reply, I have re-exported the project from Unity in a new folder and build that via Xcode, and didn't import the Admob IOS SDK manually as adviced it will be imported via Unity SDK, but seems things are still no good.

picture of Xcode settings were attached.

Hi Zhao,

Did you do any modifications, aside from the required Build configurations, in the exported project or just build and run it as is? Could you try doing the same process of building using our sample app and see if you encounter the same build errors?

For us to investigate further, could you provide us a copy of your exported Xcode project so we can test it on our end?

Hi Ivan,

I Have successfully build your demo and build my app on the other mac, but when coming to build my app on this mac, the error keeps showing, have been struggled for this for about two days now, and try to clean/reset everything on Xcode and Unity.

BUT ON THE OTHER MAC, IT JUST COULD BUILD LIKE CHARM.

And your demo could build, so yes, maybe it's not AdMob's fault.

Have compared the Xcode Version, Unity Version and even the OS version, they are the same on the machine that could build my app and the one couldn't. except that the one couldn't build has a newer version of OSX(10.12.5 vs 10.12.3).

Frankly, I am not very familiar with the f**king Xcode's Build Logic, Especially the damn cache logic of it maybe?

So, if you could give some advice on how to troubleshoot this problem on this specific Mac, will be very appreciated. I am despairing. :-(

Hi Zhao,

We could try this one thing and see if it helps. After applying the required Build Settings modifications, could you try cleaning before rebuilding the project and see if the build errors persist? I tried setting Enable Modules (C and Objective-C) to No, then rebuild the project and was able to reproduce similar build error. Setting it back to Yes, then cleaning and rebuilding the project fixed it.

Being that you were able to build your project and our sample app in another machine suggests that this could most probably be a build setup issue exclusive in your machine. I suggest that you double check as well in the Apple Developer forums to get more insights regarding this and possible causes for build errors like this.

Hi,
I faced the exact same problem and was able to resolve it by downloading the latest GoogleAdmob package.
Hopefully, it'll work for you too.
