[bug] Google AdMob Tauri iOS plugin
Describe the bug
I'm trying to add support for Tauri plugin AdMob on iOS. It works fine on XCode but fails on the example project saying ``- error: no such module 'GoogleMobileAds'`. Package.swift file:
// swift-tools-version:5.3
// The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package.
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "tauri-plugin-admob",
platforms: [
.macOS(.v10_13),
.iOS(.v13),
],
products: [
// Products define the executables and libraries a package produces, and make them visible to other packages.
.library(
name: "tauri-plugin-admob",
type: .static,
targets: ["tauri-plugin-admob"])
],
dependencies: [
.package(name: "Tauri", path: "../.tauri/tauri-api"),
.package(
url: "https://github.com/googleads/swift-package-manager-google-mobile-ads.git",
from: "12.14.0"
),
],
targets: [
// Targets are the basic building blocks of a package. A target can define a module or a test suite.
// Targets can depend on other targets in this package, and on products in packages this package depends on.
.target(
name: "tauri-plugin-admob",
dependencies: [
.byName(name: "Tauri"),
.product(
name: "GoogleMobileAds", package: "swift-package-manager-google-mobile-ads"),
],
path: "Sources")
]
)
It seems like the iOS plugin build compile the Swift package before finishing installing the dependency. I might be wrong:

"without proper answer" ? it was fixed by https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/pull/13995 and making sure your project uses the latest tauri-utils version should pull the fix. i assume it worked for the PR author at least. Looking at the PR they also mentioned the PATH env var so maybe admob must be in the path? idk let's ignore that for now and make sure you're on latest tauri-utils (in the runtime deps, build-dependencies via tauri-build and tauri-plugin, and the cli - simply everywhere)
No, I meant there's a dangling question in the last thread. It seems to be working now with the latest Tauri deps. I wasn't aware that I put exact versions in the Cargo file.
No, I commented out the import statement in the Swift code. It backs to square one now. I updated the description with the Package.swift content.
the PR only touches code that runs in xcode plugins, not swift pm plugins so if you haven't already try creating the plugin with tauri plugin ios init --ios-framework xcode - i'm not really familiar with this stuff either so that's the only suggestion i can think of
Ok, I re-initiated the plugin with --ios-framework and got new errors:
