Can you try running pod install using the terminal on the iOS project folder, and running the generated workspace file?

[kkyrin]

I have the same problem.
Unity build > pod install > .xcworkspace open > build > error

I changed GoogleMobileAds-v6.0.2 and other versions of other mediation packages .
but, I had the same errors.

I changed GoogleMobileAds-v.5.4.0 and other versions of other mediation packages .
It was OK. but Android platform build had other problems.

I hope to use GoogleMobileAds-v6.1.2.

I have try the pod install on the iOS project and after a compare, it didn't changed my project, and still have the linking errors.

I have also uninstalled/reinstalled cocoapods without luck

My pod --version is 1.11.2. Is this good or important?

If you guys don't have the issue, it must be a local setup issue I guess?

This can be solved.

Step 1 Select Assets-> External Dependency Manager-> iOS Resolver-> Settings.

Step 2 Enable Link frameworks statically.
