I am having the same problem with iOS Audience Network SDK 6.16.0

[huangwenjing12]

Hi, have you solved this problem?

[SzGajdzica]

Nope, i've made some progress with Admob mediations adapters https://groups.google.com/g/google-admob-ads-sdk/c/-7N5D2Yq1cI, but Facebook will take half a year to year to fix

[bengus]

The problem is still active. Last version which is working okay is 6.15.1

[jesphinpt]

I am facing this error with 6.16.0. Any workarounds?

[jesphinpt]

But 6.15.1 also not solve the upload error, If I add embed and sign in the manual integration and it failing with archive. Also If I remove embed and sign, it crashing while opening the app

[jesphinpt]

Getting duplicate error

[jesphinpt]

Did you add the xcframework in the Embed Frameworks?

I have added in the Embed Frameworks

Also If I add in the Copy files it shows the duplicate error.

I'm also having this issue. I added the project through the Package.swift file. It works and builds fine locally, but fails when deploying to the app store.

Package.swift

let package = Package(
    name: "...",
    platforms: [.macOS(.v12), .iOS(.v15)],
    products: [
        ...
    ],
    dependencies: [
		....
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "..",
            dependencies: [
				...
            ]
        ),
        .target(
            name: "..",
            dependencies: [
                // Ads - Mintegral
                .product(name: "MintegralAdSDK", package: "MintegralAdSDK-Swift-Package"),
                .target(name: "MintegralAdapter"),
                // Ads - AppLovin
                .product(name: "AppLovinSDK", package: "AppLovin-MAX-Swift-Package"),
                .target(name: "AppLovinAdapter"),
                // Ads - FB Audience Network
                .target(name: "FBAudienceNetwork"),
                .target(name: "MetaAdapter"),
...

        // Ads - FB Audience Network
        .binaryTarget(
            name: "FBAudienceNetwork",
            path: "XCFrameworks/FBAudienceNetwork.xcframework"
        ),
        .binaryTarget(
            name: "MetaAdapter",
            path: "XCFrameworks/MetaAdapter.xcframework"
        ),

Okay this isn't the place to be talking about this (I now know). There is an issue in the right place here: https://developers.facebook.com/community/threads/1535870873800781/

But yeah I think I figured it out.

Modify the info.plist here in FBAudienceNetwork.xcframework->ios-arm64->FBAudienceNetwork.framework->Info.plist

	<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
    <string>com.facebook.FBAudienceNetwork</string>
    <key>CFBundleVersion</key>
    <string>6.16.0</string>

Then, since you modified the framework, you'll need to re-sign it

# This will get the Apple Development string you need to paste below (where I have 'example')
security find-identity -p codesigning -v
# Final argument is the path to the actual xcframework you're using in your project
codesign -f -s "Apple Development: Example (Example)" --timestamp --deep "XCFrameworks/FBAudienceNetwork.xcframework"

I found the bundle id from 6.12.0. And took a guess on the bundle version.

Hi, I am still having issues with that. I am trying to create a swift package that contains this xcframework. I am getting error
alrqxkskvghvneealbqqnguumyep/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/FBAudienceNetwork.framework/FBAudienceNetwork'
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Does anyone has a working swift package containg this library?
