Unity 2019 LTS and XCode 12 - Mach-O Linker Errors

Ebonicus · October 23, 2020, 10:34pm

Hello,

I am using Unity 2019.4.27f1, running on Win10.
I build to IOS project on PC.
Then Move to Mac on Catalina/XCode 12 and use XCode to push to AppStore.

I have a project that builds fine on Unity 2018 all the way to app store.
When upgrading to Unity 2019, I am getting several Mach-O linker errors as show below.
These are all related to GameCenter, and I have confirmed that Game Center capability is added, and GameKit.Framework is also in the project.:

The version of XCode I have was able to find and archive the 2018 project with identical code. The same code/calls used were in the 2018 project, so it is not my code or the plugins.
I cannot understand why XCode is not finding the GameKit.Framework and reporting Mach-O linker errors.

I have tried the following:

Uninstall Game Center Capability and Re-Add
Uninstall GameKit.Framework and Re-Add
Adding GameController.Framework
Adding Authenticator.Framework
Adding Framework Searching paths to point directly GameKit.Framework folder
Rebuilding project and doing all of the above again.

Here is the list of frameworks currently in the project:
⦁ AdSupport
⦁ Core Telephony
⦁ GLKit
⦁ MessageUI
⦁ MobileCoreServices
⦁ Security
⦁ StoreKit

CoreLocation.framework
MessageUI.framework
Metal.framework
Social.framework
WebKit.framework

⦁ GoogleAppMeasurement.framework
⦁ GoogleMobileAds.framework
⦁ GoogleUtilities.framework
⦁ nanopb.framework

GameKit.framework

Those the standard frameworks I use in all my projects, which all have the same plugins to access AdMob ads, Play Game Services, and Sharing. I would appreciate it if anyone has further solutions for me to explore, thanks!

Here is the Error list reported in XCode:

@Ebonicus starting from 2019.3 Xcode project structure changed.

If yours or plugins custom Xcode project adjustments are not reflecting these changes most likely you will receive this kind of linking errors.

check for Build errors in Editor console after you generate Xcode project
Upgrade plugins to a newer version that is compatible with 2019.3 ( or fix them manually) and fix custom Xcode adjustments if you have any.

Ebonicus · October 28, 2020, 9:26pm

No ios build errors in Unity console.
Plugins are all updated to 2019.4.12f1 LTS.

Not sure what you mean by custom XCode adjustments,
all I ever have to do is add frameworks, and -ObjC other linker flag.

The project builds fine in XCode when built with Unity 2018. The only thing that changes is Unity 2019 version will not build in XCode. The plugin for Google ads is not causing the error, the same plugin version works for 2018 and 2019. Same with CPNP plugin, both plugins are compatible with both Unity versions, per the developers.

PavelLU · October 29, 2020, 6:56am

you can check Frameworks/Libraries section of Unity-iPhone target, if you see more than UnityFramework there then there is a chance that some plugins or yours build postprocess added them to the wrong target. You can try to move them to UnityFramework target to see if it helps to solve the missing symbols issue

Ebonicus · October 31, 2020, 2:09am

All Frameworks are not listed there, they are all under Target>Unity-Framework as required.

This issue was solved by Plugin Developer.
Asset had incorrect library calls and required updates.
