Use of unresolved identifier GGLContext and GAI

Well, it looks like I was able to get it squared away.

There were several problems with all attempts on this.

  1. Cocoapods had not installed correctly. I reinstalled and then had better success importing the correct files.

  2. Doing it manually, as I posted above is not the best option.

  3. After the Cocoapods re-install and starting over from a fresh copy of my project, I was able to import Google into my AppDelegate.swift.

Key points for those who may end up in the same boat I was in:

  • Be sure to add the correct directory for your -Bridging-Header.h. You can find this under Project - Build Settings - Swift Compiler Code Generation. Use this to easily target your header file $(SWIFT_MODULE_NAME)-Bridging-Header.h

  • In your -Bridging-Header.h, do not #import <Google/Analytics.h>, instead import the files individually. Here is an image of the files available to be imported.

  • When in doubt, reinstall Cocoapods

  • Do not trust Google tutorials to provide the most effective instruction and utilize the many SO posts on the topic.

I really hope this helps someone not spend 10 hours on the problem as I have.


Swift 4.0 and xcode 9.0.1 finally I resolved.

For me after 2 days I resolved.. Don't follow Google's old documentation says #import <Google/Analytics.h>

  1. Go to Terminal type pod init
  2. Reopen project as workspace obvious after pod workspace is created, open podfile. write pod 'GoogleAnalytics' in your pod file before target 'GoogleAnalytics' do
  3. Go back to Terminal pod install you will find frameworks GAI.h and other files will be there under pods folder
  4. Create Header.h file to your root. Don't add #import <Google/Analytics.h> instead import following individually in bridging header file

e.g. in bridging header file remove #import <Google/Analytics.h>

#import GAI.h
#import "GAITracker.h"
#import "GAIFields.h"
#import "GAIDictionaryBuilder.h"
  1. Point your bridge under Build Settings for target Swift Compiler - General -> Objective-C Bridging Header. write Header.h of your bridging file name

  2. Add code from google for swift to didFinishLaunchingWithOptions Don't forget to replace your tracking id from Google Analytics page

        guard let gai = GAI.sharedInstance() else {
            assert(false, "Google Analytics not configured correctly")
        }
        gai.tracker(withTrackingId: "YOUR_TRACKING_ID")
        // Optional: automatically report uncaught exceptions.
        gai.trackUncaughtExceptions = true
    
        // Optional: set Logger to VERBOSE for debug information.
        // Remove before app release.
        gai.logger.logLevel = .verbose;
    

Tada.... Run your project...


My error was use of unresolved identifier when i was using the singleton GAI.sharedInstance().

My steps to bring this to work were:

  1. add pod 'Google/Analytics'
  2. pod install
  3. restart xcode
  4. create a objc class in my project to get a bridging header
  5. added #import "GAI.h" in to the bridging header file

everything works perfectly.
