    Using the latest Xcode, Unity 2019.2.17f, latest Advertisement package from Package Manager (3.4.1)

    The methods are in the file UnityAdsUtilities.h but for some reason the files referencing them can't either find NSStringFromIl2CppString or UnityAdsCopyString (referenced in UnityBannerUnityWrapper).

    These look like some kind of bug with the latest Advertisement package. I was able to build successfully after commenting out all the lines that use said methods... but well, that's just a patch for now

    Build in UCB also failing.

    Thanks @SamOYUnity3D, I assume is going to be on a new version of the package? (3.4.2?)

    Do you have an ETA?

    Unfortunately it worked for us only 1 time, I guess it was just luck :)) ...now we came back to the same issue. Any ETA on the fix? @SamOYUnity3D

    We expect to have 3.4.2 out by the end of the month. As far as workarounds, please try switching from a debug build to a release build to see if it can fix the build errors in Xcode.

    We faced the same problem, solved by downgrading Unity Monetization from 3.4.1 to 3.2.0

    In continue to notorious 3.4.0, which was not firing any callbacks. here we are with 3.4.1 which works fine on Android and discourages iOS builds.
    o_O

    Please, we're all waiting for that fix!

    3.4.2 is now available and I still can't get rid of this error. :/

    I'm using Unity 2018.4.16f1 with Scripting 3.5 because of a third party extension. XCode 11.3.1 freshly installed.

    Advertisement 3.4.1

    Won't try updating just in case.

    @dave_oak I was able to build a project using the repro steps from this ticket. If your still seeing an issue, can you please open a ticket with the support team or at the very least start a new thread with as much details as possible to your specific case, and provide a sample project that reproduces the issue if you can? Also make sure that your building a new ios project and not trying to append or update your older project after updating the ads sdk.

    3.4.2 didn't fix this issue for me, I get it on Unity 2018.4.x and 2019.x.

    Sorry, can you please explain what the .mm files are? I've tried reimporting everything and still can't get it to work.

    Still not fixed? really?

    re-add UnityAds.framework didn't help.

    Ok i figured it out, you have to reimport .mm files and it now works for me
    1. Go into your unity project
    2. Turn off unity ads service and leave on the asset store sdk
    3. Navigate to plugins folder in Assets Assets/Plugins/IOS/
    4. Delete all of the loose files in the ios folder (NOT THE FOLDERS INSIDE IOS!!!)
    5. Reimport unity ads sdk from the asset store
    6. Build and enjoy a working project

    Pardon moi. @jojo_game_studios approach works. Delete old Unity* files in the root of Plugins/iOS folder

    Then re-import newest UnityAds package.

    3.4.2 [FIXED]

    If your using package manager it handles upgrading the code safety, but if you still use the asset store implementation then you need to remove the old copy of unity ads first. The easiest way to see which folders this is, is to look at what get imported when you try to import the unitypackage and delete everything in those directories related to unity ads. this includes files contained in the android and ios folders in the plugins folder inside the assets folder, as well as the UnityAds folder inside the assets folder.

    If you switch to using the package manager implementation you must still remove the asset store implementation or you will get errors about duplicate definitions of the ads code.
