Build failed - google-analytics-plugin

[Dmitriy_I_]

Hello, dear Sirs.

Since 3 december of 2015 I have encountered with build failed when I try to build IOS project with google-analytics-plugin plugin. Before this day build was successful. I think something happens on Intel XDK servers.

Please Help! :(((

ld: 223 duplicate symbols for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

with best regards,

Dmitriy Ivanov.

I have escalated this to our Intel XDK Build team.

The iOS build system hasn't been recently. According to your reported error, it's seems to point to an issue in the libGoogleAnalyticsServices. You seem to have two conflicting links. This issues isn't related to the plugin not our build system. I recommend reviewing the logs for this plugin as well as posting a question to the plugin developer.

Thank you for your reply.

I asked plugin developers the same question.

I have tried 2 different cordova plugins and i have the same result: same error:

I tried:

1. com.cmackay.plugins.googleanalytics (https://github.com/cmackay/google-analytics-plugin)

2. google-analytics-plugin (https://github.com/danwilson/google-analytics-plugin)

and have error:

** BUILD FAILED **

What could possibly be the problem? I see that i get the same error with 2 different plugins. Plugin 'google-analytics-plugin ' used to work until 3 of December.

It's because of GOOGLE!!!!
GOOGLE made new version of GA SDK on 3 of December!!!!!

But I still did not resolve the problem

According to the page you reference:

As of version 3.14 Google Analytics supports bitcode, which may cause compiler errors under Xcode 6. If you are still using Xcode 6 consider downloading v3.13.

Our iOS build system is still using Xcode 6, we are in the process of upgrading it to Xcode 7, but no ETA on when that upgrade will be available. In order to use the v3.13 version of the library, you'll have to contact the plugin developers to figure out which version of their plugin still uses v3.13 of the Google Analytics library.
