Ads SDK 11.13.0 not compatible with Xcode 16.2. I get build errors when following Google instruction

[GG Solo]

This is my 1st time attempting to use Google Mobile ads. The Cocoapods install kept erroring out in various ways so I gave up and attempted manual download. I got build time errors when attempting to compile with Google Mobile Ads SDK 11.13.0 with project on Xcode 16.2 ( when I remove the Google Mobile Ads frameworks, project builds perfectly fine )

Errors:

1. Undefined symbol: _OBJC_CLASS_$_JSContext

2. Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Warnings:

1. Could not find or use auto-linked framework 'CoreAudioTypes': framework 'CoreAudioTypes' not found

2.  Could not parse or use implicit file '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/ Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/SwiftUlCore.framework/SwiftUlCore.tbd': cannot link directly with 'SwiftUlCore' because product being built is not an allowed client of it

Please advise! I am close to launch!!!

Thanks in advance.

I was able to resolve my issue without trying samples. 

I had previously attempted to install via cocoa pods. I realized I had probably an incomplete install. So I deleted all cocoa pods and gems and then tried the build. It is now working fine. 

Thanks for your prompt replies and follow up!!
