UIWebView : [Admob] (Deprecated Api Usage)

[yannou788]

Issue

"@react-native-firebase/admob": "6.1.0",
TMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView.

After some research, I found that in RNFBAdMob.podspec there was an dependency with PersonalizedAdConsent (https://github.com/googleads/googleads-consent-sdk-ios/tree/master/PersonalizedAdConsent/PersonalizedAdConsent) which contains call to "UIWebView".

That's a google upstream bug. For v6 we need to change the issue template here as I need to see the contents of firebase.json to see if you are using the right versions - but I think this is unresolved anyway: googleads/googleads-consent-sdk-ios#41 - follow along there and be prepared to do something like this when/if it is updated: https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/65a23cb22b4b91614746c1997f1bf83ca318016a/make-demo-v6.sh#L30

Will this be retrofitted into v5? I'm not ready to jump to 6 yet and I'm having this issue.

Thanks!

[mikehardy]

RNFBv5 has no deprecated API usage if you use the up to date firebase SDKs, which you can safely use because I have already retrofitted all the necessary bits

I release to the Apple app store regularly with RNFBv5 + firebase iOS SDKs 6.14.0 (current) and itś fine.

Oh my bad, I thought I was on the latest version.
Thanks Mike!

if you use v6 and pod, please try to patch..
I successfully released app to app store.

Oh no - I did not realize there was another usage of UIWebView, thanks for that link @rarira - hopefully it is fixed upstream soon, in the meantime that comment has a great solution
