Admob android build error

[ghost]

Hello,
I try to replace react-native-admob by react-native-firebase-abmob to have the possibility to use the parameter "requestNonPersonalizedAdsOnly".

I already use without problem in my application:

"@react-native-firebase/analytics": "^11.4.1",
"@react-native-firebase/app": "^11.4.1",
"@react-native-firebase/crashlytics": "^11.4.1",
"@react-native-firebase/messaging": "^11.4.1",
"@react-native-firebase/perf": "^11.4.1",
"@react-native-firebase/remote-config": "^11.4.1"

After I add "@react-native-firebase/admob", I change my implementation of the Interstitial and I try to launch the app.
On iOS, no problem, I saw the advertisement.
On android, on the other hand, the application does not even open anymore. And I don't have any information about the error.

This is the output of npm run android

additional information:
I use react-native-admob to call specific/custom "Google Ad Manager" Ads.
I don't have "ca-app-pub-xxxx" information

Sorry, I can't help much. Admob works though, our CI executes it all the time. https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh give you a clean implementation / integration of react-native-firebase including admob. It works, try starting with that, and if you can reproduce a problem post an issue with the self-contained App.js that reproduces the problem.

Hi,
no problem. I ended up finding what was wrong.
I am working on a very complex project which generates several applications from the same source code.
It is this complexity that was not well taken care of in my implementation.
