Apple Mach-O Linker (ld) Error: Linker Command Failed
Hey, I’d really like to see an answer on this. I have the same problem and I can’t get around it.
Summation
If I enable Unity Ads in the Services panel I get this error and the game won’t archive using Xcode. If I turn off Unity Ads from the, then it’ll archive in XCode but iOS will reject it because this is a children’s game. I have the Unity Ads from the Asset Store installed. That seems to be a problem. I cannot seem to have both the Services tab enabled and the package manager “pacman” installed. If I remove the pacman, I get too many errors and my game will not run in Unity.
My Info
I’ve updated Unity to version 2019.3.7f1 and Xcode version 11.3.1.

his post mentions two things I have no idea where they are, maybe that will help or maybe its mentioning features only available in the referenced outdated version of Unity? 1. choose in player setting under other settings : universal platform and IL2CPP 2. update all plugins as these need to support arm64
