here is the error, the main problem is each i install admob module #react-native-firebase/admob, it throws this error after trying a lot i couldnt find any solution, it only happens after installing admob module except that it build well, anyone knows whats wrong with that module

Answer 1

I was with the same problem and it work for me
in android/app/build.gradle
defaultConfig {
...
multiDexEnabled true // added for admob problem
}
...
dependencies {
...
implementation "androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1" // fix firebaseAdmob
}
in android/build.gradle
dependencies {
classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2')
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
}
now open the android folder in Android Studio and wait for gradle will update
when finish the gradle update run npx react-native run-android

Answer 2

downgrade all the rnfirebase libraries that you are using to less than 10.0.0 (admob 7.6.11 and app 9.0.0), as I show in the image
