Hi, I have a question about cocoapods. It seems sometimes the pod dependency is not actually added. I’m trying to use a pod

"Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK"

https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/quick-start . I follow the tutorial to add it like this way

pod("Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK") {
    version = "9.12.0"
}

the build looks right. But when I begin to write code to import and use the library, it gives “unresolved reference” error. Looks like there are some linking issues, there should be many other libraries with similar issues, anyone know how to resolve this? thanks!

Have you solved this problem yet?

Hey! i just found this

pod("Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK") {
    moduleName = "GoogleMobileAds"
    extraOpts += listOf("-compiler-option", "-fmodules")
}

Cause the pod name and the module name had same before, but it deprecated
So, we need to specify the module here
