app.json looks good based on quick comparison visually with our example https://github.com/invertase/react-native-google-mobile-ads/blob/main/RNGoogleMobileAdsExample/app.json

My guess is that you need to do a pod install in order to munge the app.json (via our custom build steps...) into the iOS App's metadata, as that is part of the machinery that transmits the app.json contents into the running app

It does not help.

Hi @mikehardy @IrynaBt

I just upgraded to the latest release v10.3.1 for support SKAdNetwork and I am also getting the same error "ios_app_id key not found in react-native-google-mobile-ads" key in app.json when trying to build the app for iOS.

In the previous version (v10.2.0) that I had, it was working fine.

This is my app.json:

{
  "name": "abc",
  "displayName": "abc",
  "react-native-google-mobile-ads": {
    "android_app_id": "androidId",
    "ios_app_id": "iosId",
    "optimize_initialization": true,
    "optimize_ad_loading": true,
    "user_tracking_usage_description": "This identifier will be used to deliver personalized ads to you.",
    "sk_ad_network_items": [
      "....skadnetwork",
      "....skadnetwork",
    ]
  }
}

Any ideas? Thanks.

[alqubo]

Fixed!

In my case, there is an extra comma at the end of sk_ad_network_items. Make sure you have the JSON well-formed.

In my case it was necessary to update ruby version to 2.6.6
