The Google Mobile Ads SDK was initialized without AppMeasurement

Question

I'm not very experienced in the IOS development. This is my first try to implement Google AdMob to my application, and I get this error when I try to run the simulator: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'GADInvalidInitializationException', reason: 'The Google Mobile Ads SDK was initialized without AppMeasurement. Google AdMob publishers, follow instructions here: https://googlemobileadssdk.page.link/admob-ios-update-plist to include the AppMeasurement framework and set the -ObjC linker flag.

I'm using Xcode 12 beta on macOS Big Sur. I tried to reinstall Google pod a couple of times, but still get the same error. Please help

I've been having the same issue after updating AdMob SDK using Cocoapods. I kept my cocoapods install, but still did step 2 of https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/quick-start#manual_download. Now it works, but I don't get why the documentation states that cocoapods should be enough — dvkch, Mar 02 '21 at 12:13
Did you put the SDK framework files to your project or just added the -ObjC to Other Linker Flags? — Rut, Mar 03 '21 at 14:45
I just added the flag. The frameworks were already installed via Cocoapods, but somehow the cocoapods config for AdMob didn't update the main project configuration to add this flag — dvkch, Mar 04 '21 at 15:29

Manually add the -ObjC linker flag to Other Linker Flags in your target's build settings even if you're using CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager.

It may be better to just add `-ObjC` at the target level and inherit others from xcconfig file: `$(inherited) -ObjC` – gonsee Apr 30 '21 at 12:54
@gonsee not sure what you mean. This is the target level. Did you mean the project? – Daniel Storm Apr 30 '21 at 13:11

In my case I had the flag on my target but it didn't work until I added it at the project level, then it worked! – Heyman May 08 '22 at 07:51

Also do this if you are importing it via Swift Package Manager, won't work otherwise! – Hajji Daoud Sep 16 '22 at 15:45

For anyone who using Swift Package Manager, go to your target and change the version rule from main to the next major (enter the latest version - 9.0.0 at the moment) and it should work:

For anyone who has encountered this problem recently, this is the UI for Xcode version 14 or newer. You must set the -ObjC flag for both the "Debug" and "Release" configurations.
