CocoaPods user_target_xcconfig conflict with Google Mobile Ads SDK

[Markus Möller]

Hi all,

in my Podfile i do have

    pod 'GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK'

    pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'

When i run pod install i get this error

[!] Can't merge user_target_xcconfig for pod targets: ["Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK", "GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK"]. Singular build setting EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*] has different values.

When i us

    pod 'GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK', '= 3.11.4'

then it works.

But i want the latest SDK versions. What can it do?

Kind regards,

Markus

An update:

The CocoaPods spec says about user_target_xcconfig:

> This attribute is not recommended as Pods should not pollute the build settings of the user project and this can cause conflicts.
https://guides.cocoapods.org/syntax/podspec.html#user_target_xcconfig

The latest working version without the user_target_xcconfig conflict is

    pod 'GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK', '= 3.13.0'

Kind regards,

Markus

It looks like Google Mobile Ads SDK fixed it with

8.2.0.1
2021‑03‑12

• Fixed the CocoaPods install error "Can't merge user_target_xcconfig" that occurred when using multiple pods with different user_target_xcconfig settings.Note: This is a CocoaPods only release that uses the version 8.2.0 binary.

Hi there,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. For our test reference, could you kindly share with us the sample project file where this error is reproducible? I tried to replicate this using our basic sample application but I wasn’t able to experience the issue upon pod installation (attached screenshot).

Kindly send the project file to our testing alias: imate...@gmail.com
