Last updated 2 months ago, it worked then. Not sure what changed (iOS version, XCode, Google SDK, Unity SDK..).

AppLovin SDK version stayed the same.

Exception and Stack Trace

Failed to look up symbolic reference at 0x104c7528f - offset 541705 - symbol symbolic _____Sg ScP in /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/419544DE-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-C5A01A1BC0C7/MyApp.app/MyApp

How to Reproduce

AppLovin SDK works out of the box. Adding additional SDKs causes ANR.

1) Add AppLovinMediationGoogleAdapter pod to Podfile. Launch app, notice ANR as soon as the app boots up.

• OR -

2) Add AppLovinMediationUnityAdsAdapter to Podfile Launch app, notice ANR within 2-3 seconds after app boots up.

Reproducible in the demo app?

Not Tested

@kreso22 - could you try reproducing this in the demo app and sending the project over?

[kreso22]

Tried running the demo app. I see this error, trying to reference https://github.com/AppLovin/Public-CocoaPods-Specs/. I will change this to https://github.com/AppLovin/CocoaPods-Specs and try that.

[kreso22]

I'm not able to build the demo app for iOS.

I am concerned if I start fixing these errors I will lose the whole point - testing in a predictable environment. Please advise.

[thomasmso]

If you check out our latest Corova release, it is meant to work with underlying Android and iOS SDK versions 12.3.1: https://github.com/AppLovin/AppLovin-MAX-Cordova/releases

It looks like you are using 13.0.0 which is why you're receiving those build errors. You'd have to hardcode in your CocoaPod Podfiles to use SDK version 12.3.1.

[kreso22]

I updated to latest applovin-max plugin (1.1.5) and was able to build successfully (Pod 12.3.1 is now included).

Once built, I run the demo app on the device and it hangs.

[kreso22]

I think I found the solution:

Change iOS Deployment Target to 15 (Build settings in Xcode).

Both the demo app, and my app build and run successfully now.

[thomasmso]

Our SDK's min deployment target is much lower than that, so I suspect it is another artifact in your project requiring it.

[kreso22]

I understand, but I don't think so. I suspect perhaps it has to do with Xcode 16 because the demo app didn't work either.
