iOS framework addition failed due to a Cocoapods installation failure.

I've been trying to build my Unity game to iOS with Admob, Unity IAP, and Firebase Analytics.

• Unity Version: 5.6.2f1 Personal

After importing all the packages, putting the GoogleMobileAds.framework in the Assets/Plugins/iOS folder, I get this error. Anyone know how to resolve it? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Cocoapods (using commands from the blog below). But I still get the error. Anything else I can try?

I have the same issue. Have you managed to solve it?

 

Hi,

Same issue here.

 

Same issue here, tried installing and uninstalling many times

 

Do you have a folder called PlayServicesResolver? If so if has Cocoapods enabled for iOS, just disable it in iOS Resolver Settings

.

 

Already tried hoping it would be an easy fix (stop the thing erroring so everything else runs)

Have found that if we disable cocoapods integrations, the app (in this case, Google ARCore Lightboards multiplayer demo or a fresh ARCore project with cloud anchor scene) will error out in xcode with the code below.

To workaround this, we go into the generated podfile and delete the line referring to sso://cpdc-internal/spec as it is causing errors, then open terminal, cd to the build folder and pod install or pod update.

However after doing so, we can't get the multiplayer devices to connect to each other running the build!

same issue ，can not find a solution ,and no useful answer can be found anywhere.
bad for weeks with firebase .

 

this is a serious issue,i cant release my game on iOS because of this

 

same error with no success

 

Execute

Code (CSharp):

1. sudo gem install pods

on the Terminal, it can solve this issue.

 

I'm installing Firebase analytics SDK. Why does Unity need cocoapod anyway? I'm on a MAC, don't we just build this into Xcode anyway?

 

i'm having the same issue.

 

We had the same problem. For us the problem was, that we switched to another branch which was configured on another Unity version but we didn't close unity when switching branches.

So closing unity, switching branch, then opening again solved this.

 

I got this issue solved by taking the build(build target location) in the new folder or replacing instead of appending to the existing folder

 

Any update on this @rob_ice? We are facing the same issue. We've tried adding some frameworks using unity editor FireBase settings. We also tried the iOS resolver settings. Nothing. Been stuck there for several days. Impossible to post an update to our iOS app.

[edit] So, after updating Firebase iOS plugin, I exported XCode project and upon opening the workspace file, I can see that all the *.a files inside Pods project are shown in red. All the libFirebaseAuth.a, libFirebaseCore.a, libFirebase*.a files and a few others appear in red, which I suppose must be some kind of problem linking the libraries or something similar.
Any ideas?

 

Anyone solved this issue, because i am having same issue when i try to build my ios build....

 

Having the same issue. Any solution?

 

Same issue here. Last time I solved this by updating cocoapods via the ios resolver, but this time cocoa pods is already updated. Going to try uninstalling and reinstalling to potentially reset the folder.

 

Same issue here. no solution found

 

any idea how to fix it?

 

Same issue, we're experiencing this one on unity cloud as well.

 

Same issue. Waiting for a hero rescuing us.. We're prisoners of this problem...

 

• open terminal and go into the app project folder. Run the following commands :

pod deintegrate && pod cache clean --all

pod install
Use .xcworkspace file

 

I managed to fix it, here's what I did:
1. Deleted game's xcode project folder so that no overwriting should happen when building.
2. In terminal type

Code (CSharp):

1. gem list

3. Delete all listed packages:

By typing:

Code (CSharp):

1. gem uninstall cocoapods
2. gem uninstall cocoapods-core
3. gem uninstall cocoapods-deintegrate

And so on.
4. After deleting all cocoapods packages go back to unity.
5. Then Assets -> External dependency manager -> IOS resolver -> Install Cocoapods
6. Make sure that cocoapods installed correctly by typing 'pod' in your terminal, if it says that command was not found then run 'sudo gem install cocoapods'

 

Same problem.. I did everything as you said, but it doesn't solve. When I install firebase, it works, but when I get admob on it, I get an error. Is there a solution? I want to see the xcworkspace file.

 

Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin v5.4.0 => Pain for 3 days me

Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin v5.3.0 => xcworkspace comes out, but

AdMob Banner not appear yet
Is it because of IFDA? If so, please come up with a solution that someone can easily apply.

 

Hi guys. I had the same problem and I solved it by following the instructions on this site, I hope it works for you.
CocoaPods installation failure while building Unity project for iOS. | Shobhit Samaria

 

Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin v5.4.0 => Pain for 3 days me
it's due to Firebase conflicts
Update firebase

 

Solution :

http://shobhitsamaria.com/cocoapods-installation-failure-while-building-unity-project-for-ios/

 

Hello everyone, I was taking the same error, the project was not created xcworkspace. I try to reinstall cocoapods, unity versions etc, but it did not worked for me. Finally I tried to work "pod install" at the xcode output of unity project (actually the unity gives this error but creates pod file. ) I implement as follows;
1- Open terminal and open project output folder (cd [folder path])
2- I run the code "pod install", it created the xcworkscape file.
3- I open the xcworkspace file in xcode and it works without error on device (I used admob 6.10 plugin with unity 2021.10.1 on xcode 12.4, in this implementation I cancel adding manual frameworks)

Maybe it helps somehow.

 

It definitely works!

The downside: you got to do it for every build.

 

Use” pod update “ instead of “ pod install”

 

For me I resolve this issue by switch the target build platform to other than ios/tvos (e.g android) and than switch back to ios and then build and run my ios project.

Hope this may help you with your issue as well.

 

I couldn't resolve the issue until I found this solution:

The problem is related with installing pods in Macs computers with M1 Chip

 

(Macbook Air M1) "arch -x86_64 pod install". Not working:

"arch: Can't find pod in PATH"

Help Please?

 

For guys, who "Can't find pod in path", you have to install pod in the build's folder path with 'sudo gem install cocoapods' first. Try "arch -x86_64 pod install" again, it should be work.

 

Thank you. I will try.

 

Looking deeper in the logs, it seemed to be failing in the shell.

This fixed it for me: Within "iOS Resolver Settings" uncheck "use shell to execute cocoapod tool".

 

Thanks! This also worked for me.

 

I have the same issue. Using firebase and Admob mediation SDK. When build xcode project from unity i got this error.
This means that cocoapods is not able to Update your library files. So you have to manually install these. To do so you have to
"Open terminal"
"Go to Xcode project folder" (simple write 'cd " and drag and drop the folder to terminal and press enter this will take you to the folder
"pod install"
That's all. It will install all the required pods.

 

I tried all the above. Nothing worked. In the terminal, before telling me 8 pods were installed, it said "
Ignoring json-1.8.6 because its extensions are not built. Try: gem pristine json --version 1.8.6", maybe that has something to do?

 

This worked for me. Thank you !!

 

add
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
to /etc/profile resolved.

 

I have resolved the issue by doing below changes, I have faced the problem in Unity 2021.07 LTS with M1 Mac

1. Go to GoogleSignIn > Editor > GoogleSignInDependencies - replace line number 15 with [STORE THE REPLACED LINE, WE NEED IT IN NEXT STEPS]

Code (CSharp):

1. <iosPod name="GoogleSignIn" version="4.4.0" bitcodeEnabled="false"

2. Do the below changes from terminal

Code (CSharp):

1. # Uninstall the local cocoapods gem
2. sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
3.  
4. # Reinstall cocoapods via Homebrew
5. brew install cocoapods

3. Restart the unity and build for iOS - it will build sucessful without any error.

4. Open xcworkspace to open your project.

5. If you found any "ARC Semantic Issue : No visible @interface for 'GIDSignIn' declares the selector 'handleURL:'" then go to podfile (you will find this in build folder) and change the verions back to what it is before we changed the line in #1

6. after changing the line open terminal at your project directory and type "pod install" -> it will update your pod to the new version.

and try building in xcode - it will work.

The #2 is from below answer :
https://stackoverflow.com/a/65334677/2757497

 

Works for me, unity 2021 and mac m1

 

This was so straight forward and what ultimately worked for me after struggling for several hours and trying several solutions here...

The problem started after I imported the Firebase Messaging custom package into my project.

 

Hello I came from the future to say that this works!! Thank you so much.

 

Unity 2021.3.16f1
Been a bunch of headache.
Let me share more below :

Following whats been said as first step is a good practice :

or :

However here are some more advice I usually apply in every project from scratch or already going from Office or clients :

1. List every plugins the project is depending on such as Facebook, Twitter, ads thing, etc...
2. Be sure you got the every plugins package locally and keep them up to date outside the Unity project.
3. Remove every of those plugin from your project.
4. If you got massive error from class missing and extra depending, then learn using the Scripting Define Symbole such as #if FACEBOOK or #if TWITTER, etc... Your project shouldn't depend of 3rd party plugins. This way you can connect or replace a plugin anytime simple using those Define Symbole (sometimes client may change their mind, etc...).
5. Once the project is compiling fine without the whole plugin thing, be sure to build again as 'Replace'.
6. Also make sure the project is compiling fine in xcode > running fine on device. (without plugin it should be a piece of cake).
7. Then one by one, import every of your plugins package in your Unity project.
8. Be sure the project compile fine.
9. Activate the Define Symbole one by one.
10. Compile again and again to be sure all going fine.

This may be an headache and a bunch of work but it will help you to keep scripts clean without constant dependency.
You'll be more ready to remove a plugin anytime, more flexible, fast to react.
More ready to remove and import the last up to date plugin package.

Note that when you remove a plugin and have error compile, it's not because you import that plugin it again, it may be imported correctly. Make sure the code of your project depending of the plugin should be sent to "sleep" removing the DefineSymbole from the Build setting while you update a plugin. One thing at the time is the safest way to process.

Finally some plugin may not be updated properly by third party and that won't be Unity or Xcode fault.
You can track those thing easier and report to the concerned party the error occured.

 

Unity 2021.3.16f1 // OS Ventura 13.2

Got some more issue on that one :


Basically adding it to the .profile only is not enough.
Also there are a bunch of other LANG format to add there and there.

Found a lot of information in that thread :
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions...minal-to-be-using-utf-8-encoding-after-latest

But to be honest I ended up adding the 3 following lines :

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

... in those 3 files :

• .bash_profile
• .profile
• .zshrc

Now it builds just fine.

 

I'm trying to add Facebook SDK 15.1. to Unity 2019.4.31f. I've tried lots of things and I'm stuck with this.

Is it even possible to install this to Unity 2019.4?

Any help?

....

iOS framework addition failed due to a CocoaPods installation failure. This will will likely result in an non-functional Xcode project.

After the failure, "pod repo update" was executed and succeeded. "pod install" was then attempted again, and still failed. This may be due to a broken CocoaPods installation. See: https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/troubleshooting.html for potential solutions.

pod install output:

Analyzing dependencies
