If anyone is still experiencing this same problem, I was just able to find a solution. I spent hours attempting everything that was recommended so far and NOTHING worked, I still don't know what I was doing wrong, but here was a little hack that worked for me: Whatever framework I kept downloading from Google (I tried the manual and Cocoa Pods methods) would not work, but when I just downloaded their little tester xCode project (BannerExample.xcodeproj I believe), I copied the framework that was bundled with that test project, pasted it in my target project file and then added the framework and linked it. After doing this I was able to import the framework just fine and adMob works great. I can't for the life of me figure out what the difference would be, but this did work. I hope this solution might help anyone else dealing with the same problem. I believe I ripped out one of the last five hairs on my head. Good luck!
