FBAudience Network as a Framework Integration

Question

I'm Integrating Facebook Audience Network for Interstitial and Rewarded types of Ads.

I'm trying to integrate it as a framework and not in the project.

When I'm trying to test it through the Test Cases It failing after this line:

self.fbInterstitialAd = [[FBInterstitialAd alloc] initWithPlacementID:self.placementID];

and giving me this error:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'FBFinalClassViolationException', reason: 'FBAdConfigManager is a final class and cannot be subclassed. FBAdConfigManager' ***

I really do not understand why it is crashing. I am really not able to find what is the issue. I also integrated this Audience network SDK in separate single view Application, there I'm able to see the ADs and working fine.

Answer 1

I had the same issue and found solution in case of using cocoapods.

change this line in Podfile

use_frameworks!

to

use_frameworks! :linkage => :static

I think this crash is caused by framework bug with dynamic linkage.

Answer 2

Thanks to @sudekon I was also able to fix the problem. This is the only solution which has worked for me.

In addition to what sudekon says, for Unity developers, you can click Assets -> Play Services Resolver (or External Dependency Manager) -> iOS Resolver -> Settings and check the checkbox that says "Link frameworks statically" and then build Xcode project. This will prepare the Podfile with the suggested instructions.
