I added Admob following https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/#ios and getting error below in cocos2d-x 2.1.5. Can anyone shed some light on fixing this issue.

Here are the files you should have in that path:

E:\cocos2d-x-2.2\cocos2dx\platform\third_party\ios\libraries\libcurl.a
E:\cocos2d-x-2.2\cocos2dx\platform\third_party\ios\libraries\libwebp.a

Do you have those files?

Hey vkreal,

I found that for some reason, something in the project settings had changed in the Library Search Paths option in the Build Settings menu in your project file. Make sure that all ‘’ characters are either deleted, or replaced with ‘/’.

Hope that helps.
