Third Party framework is added to Xcode project, but doesn't work properly

[gclaret]

Hello guys. I have been trying for a few days to get this working, with no luck.

I need to include the admob 'GoogleMobileAds.framework" into my xCode project. After a few tries, I came up with this:

{
"group": "Bigfoot",
"patches": [],
"libs": [],
"librarysearchpaths": [],
"frameworks": [
"AdSupport.framework",
"AudioToolbox.framework",
"AVFoundation.framework",
"CoreGraphics.framework",
"CoreTelephony.framework",
"EventKit.framework",
"EventKitUI.framework",
"MessageUI.framework",
"StoreKit.framework",
"SystemConfiguration.framework"
],
"headerpaths": [],
"files": [
"GoogleMobileAds.framework"
],
"folders": [],
"excludes": [
"^..meta$",
"^..mdown$",
"^.*.pdf$"
],
"compiler_flags": [],
"linker_flags": []
}

I have the framework inside my project here:

and it produces this in my project:

At first glance, I thought this worked properly, but if I build, I still get an error. If I add it again by hand on the project, it all works properly.

I have no idea what it is that I'm missing here...

i think that the framework needs to be added in the 'frameworks' section,
not 'files'...

Even if it is 3rd party? I was following this issue...

TBH i've not tried adding any 3rd party frameworks. but might revisit my
version of this to do some updates (command line args, etc.) however.
that's something for next week at best - other fires to fight today...

Any update? I'm also trying to add the GoogleMobileAds.framework @gclaret

[aaronhoogstraten]

So I've successfully gotten the GoogleMobileAds framework importing into my project with "files": ["GoogleMobileAds.framework"](with my .projmods in the same directory). If you are using SVN and have added the framework to it, you'll have to remove the symlinks in GoogleMobileAds.framework and replace them with copies of the headers (so there will be 3 copies of the headers in GoogleMobileAds.framework). You will also have to copy the GoogleMobileAds file(no extension) to the GoogleMobileAds.framework root i.e. your GoogleMobileAds.framework folder will look like: Headers, Modules, Versions, GoogleMobileAds(file)

The only other issue I'm having is that XUPorter is still adding the .meta files to the Xcode project despite having "^.*.meta$" in the excludes. Any way to fix that?
