Still an issue in 2018.2.10

This is still an issue in 2018.1.

We built a VR (using GVR components) app in Unity (2017.1.0f3) and are now trying to build it in Xcode (9.2). We have followed all the “methods” from this github article– opened the workspace instead of the project, updated the pods (GVRSDK 1.60) in the project directory, and deleted bogus library paths. We have even tried the bypass option in Method 3, but nothing seems to work. We were able to successfully build this same app using Unity 5.4.2 and publish (to TestFlight) with no problem. Now that we rebuilt the app using this later version of Unity, we can’t seem to be past the “linker command failed with exit code 1” error.

I'm also unable to open the xcode project in Unity 2017.2.0f3

I also think this should be reopened.
@MaskedMouse did you get your project working with unity cloud build? I haven't had any success with something similar because UCB doesn't have cocoapods capability.

The issue is not resolved since it doesn't seem possible to open the workspace in cloud build.
Unless iOS VR support on cloud build is broken ... by design ?

This issue is stopping my Unity Cloud Builds. I can build locally fine. But the cloud build fails with linker errors:

It's fine if I don't call any of those functions, but I need to for my app.

Any work-around?

I get the same linker erros with ".xcworkspace" on 2017.1.0b8. This should be reopened.

MASKEDMOUSE's method partially works for me. But I had face with another problems. So, I am waiting a permanent good solution from Unity or Google. Apple making things more complicated. For Android only Unity build would be enough but for Mac you need to build with Xcode too. So, you need to buy a Mac machine. I also use Unity 5.5.3 with GVR 1.3 or 1.4 as a temporary solution.

It is kind of out of hand @ unity they can only update the prepacked GVR SDK pods folder.
I've updated this pods folder manually to prevent having to update the pods everytime I build on a windows PC.

Basically what you need to do is:
- Build for iOS
- in the root build folder there is a pods file
- open the pods file and change 1.20 to 1.40
- update the pods using cocoapods app
- build the app using the xcodeworkspace not the xcodeproject

GVR for iOS is pretty much buggy though
