I have created a gist just for this, you can find it here

Feel free to implement this any way you like, but here is how I did it:

• create a plugins/ directory at project root and add all the files, network_security_config.xml, withAppodealBuildGradle.js, withAppodealGradle.js, withAppodealManifest.js and withTrustLocalCerts.js inside plugins/ directory.
• update the app.json to use all the plugins as follows:

...
"plugins": [
        ...
        ["./plugins/withAppodealBuildGradle.js"],
        ["./plugins/withAppodealGradle.js"],
        ["./plugins/withTrustLocalCerts.js"],
        [
            "./plugins/withAppodealManifest.js",
            {
                "metaData": {
                    "com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID": "your_admob_app_id",
                    "com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId": "facebook_app_id",
                    "com.facebook.sdk.ClientToken": "meta_client_token"
                }
            }
        ]
    ],
...

I have kept each plugin for modifying one file only hance, 4 different files. Feel free to combine them into one if you want.

In my case I was doing it for the sake of flexibility so I added params to plugin directly from app.json, if you dont want to supply metaData from app.json feel free to modify withAppodealManifest.js to hard code them directly there.

My Expo Environment

Expo SDK: 48 Flow: Managed Appodeal NPM Package: "react-native-appodeal": "^3.2.1", Node Version: 18.18.0

Note

Your project will stop working in Expo Go after applying these plugins, make sure to run your project in development build afterwards.

Do not omit these values from manifest:

"com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID": "your_admob_app_id",
"com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId": "facebook_app_id",
"com.facebook.sdk.ClientToken": "meta_client_token"

doing so will cause the app to crash at splash screen. If you want to exclude adMob or Meta SDK then follow the docs here

These configs are written to work with Android only. I would love to see if you can modify them to work with iOS as well.
