This seems to appear in 2022.2.2f1 and 2022.2.3f1, it does NOT happen in 2022.2.1f1 (retested this after failing the other 2 builds). If I build with 2022.2.1f1 and THEN with 2022.2.3f (without deleting the library folder) I get past this first error on to the
.../Library/Bee/artifacts/Android/il2cppOutput/cpp/GoogleMobileAds.iOS.cpp:7684: undefined reference to GADUGetAdErrorCode
error that is mentioned in https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-unity/issues/1613
the link.xml workaround does not work. currently trying to delete the IOS dll manually (though, this would mean we need a manual build and can't use our build chain)

The error stil present in 2022.1.20. The fix with link.xml removes the first error but not other like
GoogleMobileAds.iOS.cpp:8206: error: undefined reference to 'GADUGetAdErrorCode'
(while builing on Android btw)

Once I downgraded from `Unity 2022.1.19f1` to `Unity 2021.3.11f1` it worked.
I hope someone resolves this for the `Unity 2022` builds. Please keep working on this to ensure it's not there in our next versions!

@JoshPeterson suggestion works fine but other errors pop up:

I put the file link.xml into Assets and into GooglePlayMobileAds (ver 7.1.0) but I still have this problem:
Mono.Linker.LinkerFatalErrorException: ILLink: error IL1005: GoogleMobileAds.Api.MobileAds.GetClientFactory(): Error processing method 'GoogleMobileAds.Api.MobileAds.GetClientFactory()' in assembly 'GoogleMobileAds.dll'

In case anyone comes across this issue - you can work around it by adding this link.xml to the project:
<assembly fullname="GoogleMobileAds.Unity" ignoreIfMissing="1" preserve="nothing">
</assembly>
In addition, this error seems to be corrected in the Google Ads Mobile side: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-unity/pull/1647
