[M1 Silicon][0.6.0] Build workaround with react-native-google-mobile-ads[8.2.3]

[AuroPick]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch react-native-admob-native-ads@0.6.0 for the project I'm working on.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

This issue body was partially generated by patch-package.

and also I used pod-patch to create custom FBAudienceNetwork podspec to build in M1 environment

here is custom podspec and diff file I used:

what react-native-google-mobile-ads version did you use? Also can you provide little more detail on how pod-patch was created?

Thanks for the help. I have more issue.

When I call AdManager.isTestDevice, I am getting RNAdmobNativeAdsManager.isTestDevice was called with 0 arguments but expects 1 arguments. How did you resolve this?

actually i did not use isTestDevice anywhere in my code but when I look to source code it looks like isTestDevice wants an argument but does not provided in js side. I am not the library owner so i do not have any idea

I have no idea but it can be an issue with the pods

[absolutezero13]

@AuroPick any solution for android? It crashes for the same reason

[ammarahm-ed]

@absolutezero13 Try v0.6.3. It builds correctly on both android & ios.
