Can you update the pod 'AppLovinSDK' line in the Podfile to pod 'AppLovinSDK', '11.11.2', then run pod install --repo-update where the Podfile is to see if the pods install correctly?

I did as you asked, this is the result I got.

ok, in the Podfile, you have two sources. You need to keep source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/' then remove source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'.

Then clear your CocoaPods cache via pod cache clean --all.

Then run pod install --repo-update again.

I am still not able to generate the build on iOS.

I have notice there is another plugin cordova-plugin-purchases which also has the https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git. But for then I don't have any issues for building the app on iOS, it seems this plugin is the only causing this issue mentioned above.

Have you tried to generate an iOS build using the "cordova-ios": "^6.2.0" and XCode 14.3.1? As I mentioned, the issue started after updating the XCode version to 14.3.1.

[thomasmso]

@Carlosps - That's very unfortunate. Howabout this. Could you create a branch of our demo app here, and try to reproduce the issue? It would be more efficient this way.

[Carlosps]

I have created a new cordova project and added this plugin and were not able to replicate the issue I mentioned.

It seems it is something relatedI to my project.
