excludedPackages doesn't work with Google Ads integration

[ailtonvivaz]

I’m encountering a build issue when trying to use the excludedPackages option in combination with react-native-google-mobile-ads. The app fails to build, showing undefined symbols related to Google Mobile Ads. This appears to indicate that the excludedPackages configuration does not properly exclude the react-native-google-mobile-ads dependency when building the app clip.

❌  Undefined symbols for architecture arm64
┌─ Symbol: _RNGoogleMobileAdsBannerViewCls
└─ Referenced from: _RCTThirdPartyFabricComponentsProvider in libReact-RCTFabric.a[41](RCTThirdPartyFabricComponentsProvider.o)


❌  ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

What version of react-native-app-clip are you using? And is this on the new architecture?

I've previously had similar issues with @shopify/flash-list (undefined symbols) when using the new architecture, which seems to be fixed in version 0.5.0.

Hi @nathan-ahn, thank you for the response!

I’m currently using version 0.5.0 of react-native-app-clip. The project is set up with the new architecture enabled.
