[SOLVED] Maui error on iOS from MTAdmob implementation: clang++ exited with code 1

Maui error on iOS from MTAdmob implementation: clang++ exited with code 1

Trying to implement Admob on Maui app (newly converted from Xamarin) using MTAdmob Plugin. Works fine on Android, but getting the following error on iOS. I'm confident that this plugin/ads are causing the error because I can build no problem when I delete the package.

Anyone have any insight on this error? Seems to be coming from the UserMessagingPlatform package, but this package is what's installed in the sample at the link above. Also, deleting the UserMessagingPlatform package does not get rid of the error on build.

I'm developing in VS for Windows and pairing to Mac for the iOS simulator.

Error:
