I am building a react-native app which I do not intend to display ads but I have Firebase Authentication and other related services. To my surprise I keep getting this error below. What could have happen?
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception
'GADInvalidInitializationException', reason: 'The Google Mobile Ads SDK
was initialized incorrectly. Google AdMob publishers should follow
instructions here: https://googlemobileadssdk.page.link/admob-ios-
update-plist to include the AppMeasurement framework, set the -ObjC
linker flag, and set GADApplicationIdentifier with a valid App ID.
Google Ad Manager publishers should follow instructions here:
https://googlemobileadssdk.page.link/ad-manager-ios-update-plist'The way I found around this error is to update the info.plist by adding
<key>GADIsAdManagerApp</key>
<true/>
This solved the error issue but not the fundamental problem which is why should it required GAD Application Identifier since ads will not be displayed in the app.
