"GoogleMobileAds/GoogleMobileAds.h" file not found error

Recently I tried to update admob SDK(iOS) to the latest version(7.0.0)

I have trouble importing the framework. enter image description here

It keeps giving me this error "GoogleMobileAds/GoogleMobileAds.h" file not found

I removed the old admob sdk and imported the framework manually.

enter image description here

I've tried

No luck, any ideas to solve this? thanks.

Check that you have google_mobile_ads.framework in the Frameworks section in the General tab of your project target settings.

If not add the framework with the '+' button. It works for my case

I recently had the same error. It was fixed really easy: I needed to open the .xcworkspace file instead of .xcodeproj.

Also did install pods beforehand but not sure if it contributes to the solution :)

After several tries, I've finally managed to build my app (from a Unity project). It took several steps from different answers here, so I'm posting the detailed steps of what I did. (I also want to practice formatting skills here in SO. lol)

Overview: The goal is to install admob cocoapod then set the FrameWork paths. Yes, these have already been mentioned above but they come from different answers which was a bit confusing for me.

Steps:

  1. Close Xcode if you have it running.

  2. Open a Terminal window and enter the following:

    sudo gem install cocoapods

    This will install cocoapods

  3. In the same Terminal, cd to your Xcode project directory:

    cd Documents/MyGitHub/MyNiceApp

  4. Enter the following:

    pod init

    This will create a pod file in the project directory

  5. Open the pod file in a text editor and do the following:

    • Uncomment the line for the platform (update the values if necessary)
    • In the section for Pods, add pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '7.26.0'
    • You can specify a version or leave it out to get the latest, like this: pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'
    • The File should look something like this:
        # Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
        platform :ios, '9.0'
        
        target 'MyNiceApp-iPhone' do
          # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
          use_frameworks!
        
          # Pods for MyNiceApp-iPhone
          pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '7.26.0'
        
          target 'MyNiceApp-iPhone Tests' do
            inherit! :search_paths
            # Pods for testing
          end
        
        end

  1. Back in the Terminal window where you cd'ed to your Xcode project, enter the following:

    pod install --repo-update

    This will install the admob framework and save it in your Xcode project directory

  2. Open Xcode with your project or workspace

  3. In Project Explorer, look for Pods > ... > GoogleMobileAds.framework

    Copy the Full Path from the properties, it would look something like this:

    /Users/mickeymicks/Documents/MyGitHub/MyNiceApp/Pods/Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK/Frameworks/frameworks/GoogleMobileAds.framework

    Note: the path contains the "GoogleMobileAds.framework" at the end

  4. Open Build Settings for your TARGETS

    Look for Framework Search Paths, double-click then add a new row for it.

    Paste the path you just copied.

  5. Clean the project then Build.

I am manually dragging the AdMob SDK into my project and was getting this error. Ultimately what worked was I dragged the SDK files into my projects folder on the computer (for me it was: Users/aaronfrom/documents/projectname) when asked to replace files I said yes. It then worked. I think that this is where my framework search path was directed towares and I needed to update the files in the project folder on my computer, it had nothing to do with settings in Xcode.

I have tried to put the GoogleMobileAds.framework\Versions\A\Headersfolder to GoogleMobileAds.framework folder and it worked for me.

Then, in framework you can see

Note:
You must delete Header file first. It's already here in GoogleMobileAds.framework folder.
And useGoogleMobileAds.framework\Versions\A\GoogleMobileAds replace GoogleMobileAds.framework\GoogleMobileAds

Answer is to change the 'Framework Search Paths' build setting to the folder where your 'GoogleMobileAds.framework' is located.

Full steps I did to solve:

  • Remove references to the framework from project navigator

  • Click on your project in the project navigator, then on your project under 'TARGETS', then click 'Build Phases'

  • Expand 'Link Binary With Libraries'

  • Select 'GoogleMobileAds.framework' and click the '-' (if it's there)

  • Click the '+'

  • Click 'Add Other...', find and select 'GoogleMobileAds.framework' and click 'Open'

  • The google ads framework should now be in the list

  • Click 'Build Settings'

  • Change 'Framework Search Paths' to the folder where your 'GoogleMobileAds.framework' is located

  • Clean and re-build project

Looks like they have some specific dependences and must be added to folder where is located .xcodeproj

smth like this

this is actual for modul import and without pods: @import GoogleMobileAds;

Right click on framework --> show in finder --> Delete framework from that place.--> go to the project and see at your framework place , its in red color .

Again right click on that and delete it. Again run project and save project . i know the build not successful.

Again add the framework and then run before that clean your project.
