I was getting similar bugs on library not found  Ultimately this is how I was able to resolve it  Before starting with Xcode Archive  used flutter build iOS Changed the IOS Deployment Target to a higher target iOS 11 2   Earlier I had something like 8 0 which was giving all the above errors  Made sure that the IOS deployment targets in Xcode are same in the Project  Target and Pods

In my case there was a naming issue  My library was called ios-admob-mm-adapter a  but Xcode expected  that the name should start with prefix lib  I ve just renamed my lib to libios-admob-mm-adapter a and fixed the issue   I use Cocoapods  and it links libraries with Other linker flags option in build settings of my target  The flag looks like -l ios-admob-mm-adapter   Hope it helps someone else

Sometimes you just remove the reference of the library and add reference again    Apart from adding the Google Mobile Ads SDK and other libraries again from scratch  I would recommend you checking the Library Search Paths  There are instances when you copy or duplicate a target  Xcode decides that it needs to escape any double quotes   with a      Make sure you remove all the     s - it should look like this -    I was able to duplicate the error  by doing prefixing my path with multiple

It is compile time error for a Static Library that is caused by Static Linker ld  library not found for -l lt Library name gt    You can get the error Library not found for when you have not include a library path to the Library Search Paths  ld means Static Linker which can not find a location of the library   As a developer you should help the linker and point the Library Search Paths      Build Settings - gt  Search Paths - gt  Library Search Paths        Also you can get this error if you first time open a new project   xcodeproj  with Cocoapods support  run pod update  To fix it just close this project and open created a workspace instead   xcworkspace     Vocabulary

If error related to Cocoapods as follow   library not found for -lPod-      You need to check Other Linker Flags and remove it from there      Extra Information  If you have an old project that uses cocoapods  And recently you needed to add the use frameworks  to your podfile    cocoapods will not add the libraries to your Other Linker Flags   anymore cause its inherited  Therefore  you may need to remove those   manually from the other linker flags which they were added before   using the use frameworks
