Xcode 7 build failed due to ld: library not found for -lGoogleAnalyticsServices

Question

I have been struggling to get my xcode project to build for the last couple hours. I keep getting the following error:

ld: library not found for -lGoogleAnalyticsServices clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I have tried almost everything. I saw that the Google Developers website said to use pod 'Google/Analytics', even after trying almost everything I could find on StackOverflow and Google regarding the error, I have had absolutely no luck.

I upgraded to XCode 7 yesterday, everything seemed to work yesterday but today suddenly I started getting this error.

If someone has anything I can do about this error, please help!

Pointing me in the right direction to get it fixed would be awesome too!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

The linker flag has been renamed to:

-lGoogleAnalytics

but the Cocoapods settings have not been updated yet. Rename the entry in "Other Linker Flags" and your problem will be solved.

Also, the library (as of the moment I write is version 3.13.0) does not support Bitcode yet, thus please turn off Bitcode in Build Options > Enable Bitcode > Select "No". Clean & Rebuild afterwards.

Answer 2

Same problem occurred in my project. What I did, I just updated all my pods and after that my app got compiled.

Run "pod update" command from terminal in your project directory where the pod file is located.

Answer 3

1. Please make sure you opened .xcworkspace not .xcodeproj.

2. Go to Library Search Paths in Build settings and add

   1. $(PROJECT_DIR)/Pods/build/Debug-iphoneos
   2. $(inherited)

3. pod install again.

   Update cocoapods to the newest version that supports 64 arch.

   sudo gem update cocoapods

   Delete all Valid Architectures and Re-Add the architectures that you just removed.

   Clean and run
