GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob pod provides 'No such file or directory' warnings for .pcm files.

[Daniel Martín Prieto]

Hello.

Using the pod GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob (3.2.0) I get a lot of warning like these compiling my project:

while processing /RedactedPathToProject/Pods/GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob/GoogleInteractiveMediaAds/GoogleInteractiveMediaAds-GoogleIMA3ForAdMob/GoogleInteractiveMediaAds.framework/GoogleInteractiveMediaAds(IMAActivityMonitor.o):

warning: /var/folders/00/1mvj8000h01000cxqpysvccm006lf5/C/org.llvm.clang.sanils/ModuleCache/1CF4LWMB3FMG8/Darwin-2UFA342AAV37H.pcm: No such file or directory

note: Module debugging should be disabled when shipping static libraries.

and 16 more.

Do you know how can I get rid of them? I tried several things but I cannot fix it, and I have several other dependencies that don't provide that output. Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

It looks like you need to clean build your project. Simply press CMD + Shift + K or CMD + Shift + Alt + K or Product -> Clean. You can also try and build this sample app to see if you can reproduce the issue.

Thanks,

Hi.

I've tried that and even removed Derived Data folder and that doesn't solve the problem. I already tried that before submitting the question to the forums.

Regards.

More info about my setup:

I'm targeting iOS 7.1, with this Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

platform :ios, :deployment_target => '7.1'

pod 'GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob'

Targeting iOS 7.1 in your project and changing the Podfile deployment target to 7.1 make the project unable to compile, so I can not reproduce the warnings there.

[Veer Arjun Busani]

Hi Daniel,

I have changed the both PodFile and the Build deployment target to 7.1 and I was able to compile without any warning or errors. Do send us your sample app that would reproduce the issue and we would have a look further.

Hi Veer,

I do have the same issue.

while processing /Users/andreas.grauel/Documents/xxx/Pods/GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob/GoogleInteractiveMediaAds/GoogleInteractiveMediaAds-GoogleIMA3ForAdMob/GoogleInteractiveMediaAds.framework/GoogleInteractiveMediaAds(IMAActivityMonitor.o):

It sounds like that you have module debugging enabled in the static library in this release.

Hi Andreas,

It seems to me that you have been working on a Xcode project built prior to v7.3 and then trying to update the IMA with AdMob framework. I would suggest you to update the Debug Information Format under Build Settings -

• For Debug: DWARF
• For Release: DWARF with dSYM File

I have attached a screenshot as well for this. Do let us know if you need anything else.

Thanks,

[Daniel Martín Prieto]

Hi. Thanks for your help.

dSYM files are important for us in order to track crashes, etc. So just disable it doesn't seem like a good way to solve it. Anyway, the problem would still be there for the release builds. I have some other dependencies, managed by Cocoapods, and only GoogleINteractiveMediaAds.framework is the one giving these warnings. After the first one, you can read the note:

Module debugging should be disabled when shipping static libraries

Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

I understand this and have shared the same with the team. I will let you know if there is any update with regards to this. Alternatively, you can always keep an eye on our release notes.

Just iterating on this issue... 

I'm having the same problems with my project and the latest version of this framework (3.2.1). 

Seems like you guys forgot to set CLANG_ENABLE_MODULE_DEBUGGING=NO when building the static framework with debug symbols.

Found this information on the web:

When this setting is enabled, clang will use the shared debug info available in clang modules and precompiled headers. Results in smaller build artifacts, faster compile times, and more complete debug info. This should only be disabled when building static libraries with debug info for distribution. [CLANG_ENABLE_MODULE_DEBUGGING, -gmodules]

Thanks,

I'm having exacly the same issue when updating to 3.2.1.

[Veer Arjun Busani]

Hi David,

As I have mentioned, the team is aware of the issue and I would update this thread as soon I have any more information.

Hi there,

The team is working on this and a fix for this will likely be rolled out in the next release of our SDK.

Hi Veer, Any update on this? We're at a point where we need to use the latest version of the SDK, but these pointless warnings are disruptive to our workflow.

[Veer Arjun Busani]

Hi Chris,

The next version is scheduled to be released very shortly barring any roadblocks. Will keep you posted on this.
