Same issue, any solution?

[Lu1815]

Same issue here! No solutions yet? @invertase?

[Lu1815]

So I've already found a solution for this! It may not work for everyone, but this is what worked for me!

So in the android/app/build.gradle file I was using the 23.3.0 version of the play-services-ads. I tweaked that line to use the 22.1.0 version.

dependencies {
    // The version of react-native is set by the React Native Gradle Plugin
    implementation("com.facebook.react:react-android")

    // Change the version in this line from whatever other version to 22.1.0
    implementation ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.3.0")

@Lu1815 It worked perfectly for me, thank you !
