Can confirm this, any fix planned?
Also Unity is complaining that the assembly can not be the same name as the dll.

[adnanse-hadali]

Got the same error using Unity version 2021.1.6
Solution will be a great help.
Thanks

[rajabilal555]

Got the same error.
Unity version: 2021.1.5f1
Hope this gets fixed soon.

Hey everybody, I'm tackling the issue with our team. I'm able to reproduce the issue only on 2021.1 version (2020.2 works fine) Does anyone have issue on Unity 2020?

[JillSong]

For a quick fix, you can import the source code Asset into your project. https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-unity/tree/master/source/plugin/Assets This will get rid of the exception.

I don't have this compile error in 2020.3.8f1.
In 2020, there just seems to be a build error (#1616)

Unity developer here - @JillSong It sounds like this is a change in behavior in Unity, so we would like to understand and correct this, even if you have a work around on your end. Can you drop us a bug report with a Unity project that causes this issue?

Closing the issue. The fix will be in the next release.

Closing the issue. The fix will be in the next release.

Hi I am very new here for solving this problem.
I was wondering if you can tell me how to fix this issue for me?

I was trying to follow exactly your instruction.
however, it is just my luck of my knowledge, I could not figure out how where I can change and how to change it.
especially (source/plugin/Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Api/Core/AdRequest.cs).

in Unity, I could only find these .cs files...
with your instruction, I was supposed to change 6.0.0 => 6.0.1, but I could not find anywhere in my project.

could you please kindly advise?
My Unity version is 2021.2.0a21.2949
Thank you so much.
Shota

Closing the issue. The fix will be in the next release.

Please tell me when the update will be released?

[Zamaroht]

Do we have an ETA on the fixed release?

I still have the same problem with builds after updating to 6.0.1 SDK.

I tried building with Unity 2021.1.4f1 and 2021.1.10f1, both give me the same problem. I'm on Mac.

After a few days of trial and error, I found what was wrong and don't have this linker error any more.

My use case was as follows: I was trying to create a package with this plugin inside, which is then uploaded to a package registry. Then, I was importing the package inside my project from the package registry and trying to compile. Compiling failed with the linker error in the quoted message.

To fix it, I copied the link.xml and link.xml.meta files from the package directly into the project's Assets directory. After doing this the error is gone. Looks like Unity is not reading this link.xml file if it is inside a package from a package registry.
