[🐛] Bug when trying to upgrade my firebase libraries

[laurpantelimon]

Issue

So I upgraded all my firebase libraries as follows:

"@react-native-firebase/admob": "^10.1.1" -> "^11.5.0",
"@react-native-firebase/analytics": "^7.6.1" -> "^12.1.0",
"@react-native-firebase/app": "^8.4.1" -> "^12.1.0",
"@react-native-firebase/auth": "^9.1.2" -> "^12.1.0",
"@react-native-firebase/firestore": "^7.6.2" -> "^12.1.0",
"@react-native-firebase/functions": "^7.4.2" -> "^12.1.0",
"@react-native-firebase/messaging": "^7.8.4" -> "^12.1.0",

But when I run pod install (or pod install --repo-update) I get the following error:

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/AdMob":
In Podfile:
RNFBAdMob (from ../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/admob) was resolved to 11.5.0, which depends on
Firebase/AdMob (= 8.1.1)

None of your spec sources contain a spec satisfying the dependency: Firebase/AdMob (= 8.1.1).

You have either:

• mistyped the name or version.
• not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.

[!] NPM package '@react-native-firebase/admob' depends on '@react-native-firebase/app' v11.5.0 but found v12.1.0, this might cause build issues or runtime crashes.

[!] NPM package '@react-native-firebase/admob' depends on '@react-native-firebase/app' v11.5.0 but found v12.1.0, this might cause build issues or runtime crashes.

You cannot mix and match the versions here

https://invertase.io/blog/react-native-firebase-versioning

You cannot use admob with v12 https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#breaking-changes

AdMob: Removed from upstream SDKs. Stay on v11.5.0 for now if you need AdMob. @invertase/react-native-admob package planned with v11.5.0 code

So you cannot upgrade your libraries past v11.5.0 while still using admob

There are still plans to release a separate admob but it's a human process (time available) and professional thing (admob is not in firebase anymore so it is prioritized behind firebase-specifc items important to the firebase ecosystem)#2355

In essence this is a duplicate of #5329 then and discussion / status is there

I appreciate the understanding while handling all the breaking changes and getting it done
