Google signin sdk in ios giving linker error

Question

I am trying to incorporate Google Sign In into my app.

I have downloaded the Signin SDK and the sample app in it builds and works correctly.

I have tried to get the SDK to work and it is now setup exactly as per the sample app.

However I get the following errors:

Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "_OBJC_CLASS_$_GSDK_GTMSessionFetcher", referenced from: objc-class-ref in GoogleSignIn(GIDSignIn.o) objc-class-ref in GoogleSignIn(GIDRuntimeConfigFetcher.o) "_OBJC_CLASS_$_GSDK_GTMOAuth2Keychain", referenced from: objc-class-ref in GoogleSignIn(GIDSignIn.o) "_OBJC_CLASS_$_GSDK_GTMOAuth2SignIn", referenced from: objc-class-ref in GoogleSignIn(GIDAuthentication.o) objc-class-ref in GoogleSignIn(GIDSignIn.o) "_OBJC_CLASS_$_GSDK_OpenInChromeController", referenced from: objc-class-ref in GoogleSignIn(GIDSignIn.o) "_OBJC_CLASS_$_GSDK_GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch", referenced from: objc-class-ref in GoogleSignIn(GIDSignIn.o) "_OBJC_CLASS_$_GSDK_GTMSessionFetcherService", referenced from: objc-class-ref in GoogleSignIn(GIDSignIn.o) "_GSDK_NSClassFromString", referenced from: l011 in GoogleSignIn(GIDSignIn.o) l059 in GoogleSignIn(GIDSignIn.o) "_OBJC_CLASS_$_GSDK_GTMOAuth2Authentication", referenced from: objc-class-ref in GoogleSignIn(GIDAuthentication.o) objc-class-ref in GoogleSignIn(GIDSignIn.o) ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I have therefore removed GoogleSignInDependencies.framework from the sample app to see the differences and I get the following errors:

The difference seems to be that my app is using different symbols i.e. those with GSDK in. Can someone tell me what they are please and how I control this difference?

Thanks a lot Paul

This error was solved by making sure the correct frameworks are in a given folder and that the project is actually using them. The framework search path was picking up some framework that was outdated. With this cleaned up it worked.
