Google Analytics robopods 1.14 broken when using GGLContext

[keesvandieren]

Hi,

We try to upgrade our existing app (working fine in 1.13) to 1.14.

It fails with the following exception:

Execute: GGLContext.getSharedInstance().configure()
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at org.robovm.samples.robopods.google.analytics.ios.GoogleAnalyticsApp.didFinishLaunching(GoogleAnalyticsApp.java:40)
at org.robovm.samples.robopods.google.analytics.ios.GoogleAnalyticsApp.$cb$application$didFinishLaunchingWithOptions$(GoogleAnalyticsApp.java)

at org.robovm.objc.ObjCClass.getByType(ObjCClass.java:251)
at org.robovm.pods.google.GGLContext.(GGLContext.java:43)

The installation guide (here: https://github.com/robovm/robovm-robopods/tree/master/google-analytics/ios ) mentions this code block:

try {
    GGLContext.getSharedInstance().configure();
} catch (NSErrorException e) {
    System.err.println("Error configuring the Google context: " + e.getError());
}

Adding that block, crashes the robovm sample for Google Analytics.

It is demonstrated in this commit:

squins/robovm-samples@045953d

Maybe native classes for https://github.com/robovm/robovm-robopods/tree/master/google-apis are missing?

certainly seems like something is missing. can still use GA without the configuration file
GAI.getSharedInstance().getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX-X");
after first time it sticks as the default tracker.

Facing the same issue, cannot get google-mobile-adds-ios to work anymore. It fails at run time to "org.robovm.objc.ObjCClassNotFoundException: GGLContext" when "GGLContextMobileAds.getSharedInstance().configure();" is called. Also fails to missing classes when trying to configure adds with separate add instances instead of "GoogleService-Info.plist" configuration file. It seems that natives are missing for some reason? Is there a way to use them without GGLContext until this is solved?

I have the same issue (with version 1.14)

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
    at org.robovm.pods.google.GGLContextMobileAds.getSharedInstance(GGLContextMobileAds.java:33)
Caused by: org.robovm.objc.ObjCClassNotFoundException: GGLContext

    at org.robovm.pods.google.GGLContext.<clinit>(GGLContext.java:43)
    ... 7 more

Apparently this is also raised on RoboVM group since March 3rd : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/robovm/V_ity6VXJIo

Found a workaround to get classes found. Added libAdIdAccess.a, libGGLCore.a and libGoogleAnalyticsServices.a to ios/libs.

[julienvillegas]

Sounds good. I cannot find those files. Where can I find them?

Ok,
I god rid of the issue, was using GGLContext.getSharedInstance().configure(); to adMobs, but instead of of loading the add ID from the google configuration file through:

GGLContext.getSharedInstance().configure();
interstitial = new GADInterstitial(GGLContextMobileAds.getSharedInstance().getAdUnitIDForInterstitialTest());

I simply passed the adMob ID manually as such:

interstitial = new GADInterstitial("ca-app-pub-xxxx/xxxx");
