As I'm sure many are aware, admob needed an update to use a newer SDK (7.64+) and this message appears on your admob account if you have apps using an SDK below that version:
Some of your iOS apps require a GMA SDK update To keep ads serving normally and minimize a loss in ad revenue, implement the GMA SDK 7.64.0 (or later) for your iOS apps. And configure the SKAdNetwork in your apps with Google's network ID.
Expo had a PR here that was merged 6 days ago. This should have updated the GMA SDK to 7.69.0. However, when I ran expo upgrade it states that it updated expo-ads-admob,
✅ The following packages were updated: expo-ads-admob, expo-av, expo-keep-awake, expo-updates, react-native, react, react-dom, @babel/core, react-native-web, babel-preset-expo, expo
but no changes actually take effect. And if I have the newer version (10.0.0) that I manually installed as stated below, it downgrades it to 8.4.0.
When that wasn't working, I then went and manually updated expo-ads-admob to 10.0.0 via npm (also tried yarn) and it looked like the node package was actually updated (checking the CHANGELOG and it has info about 10.0.0).
Still when I build my app with expo build:ios, run the new app, and check my GMA SDK version on admob it is still using 7.55.1.
I have also tried completely removing expo-ads-admob and reinstalling, but the same issue occurs.
Any ideas as to why this is occurring? Is there some other method I should be using to upgrade to the latest commit on expo's master branch?
Appreciate all the assistance in advance and let me know if there is any additional info I can provide.
Additional Info:
- SDK Version: 40.0.0
- Platform: iOS
- Workflow: Managed
