Adding Google Analytics to an iOS app causes error

Question

I've added GAI framework.

Files :

- GAI.h - GAIDictionaryBuilder.h - GAIFields.h GAILogger.h - GAITrackedViewController.h - GAITracker.h - libGoogleAnalytics_debug.a

But when I'm trying to build the project, it shows such error:

Undefined symbols for architecture i386:

      ___llvm_gcov_writeout in libGoogleAnalytics_debug.a(GAI.o)

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

What caused this error?

Update :

// AppDelegate.h

@property (nonatomic, retain) id<GAITracker> tracker;

// AppDelegate.m

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions 
{


[GAI sharedInstance].optOut = YES;
[GAI sharedInstance].dispatchInterval = 120;
[GAI sharedInstance].trackUncaughtExceptions = YES;
self.tracker = [[GAI sharedInstance] trackerWithName: kTrackerName
                                          trackingId: kTrackingId];

//other code 

return YES;
}

Answer 1

I Had the same error : Just add "libGoogleAnalyticsServices.a" into your files like this :

I hope this can help you. It's work for me ;)

Answer 2

In addition to all the libraries and frameworks specified in the README file, turns out that you need to include the AdSupport.framework and libGoogleAnalyticsServices.a (instead of the libGoogleAnalytics_debug.a) to get rid of the build errors while compiling for simulator.
