I am trying to integrate admob in my react native project for days, i have tried many packages from npm but didn't get any success, i used react-native-admob, @react-native-admob/admob and react-native-admob-native. all ended with errors on build. i tried solving the errors too but nothing worked. plus the tutorials on good and youtube, i followed everything but dead end.
The following error is from react-native-admob, and the same kind of error came from @react-native-admob/admob with a different package name of course. i tried different versions of the packages too, ended with same error
\react-native-admob\android\src\main\java\com\sbugert\rnadmob\RNAdMobBannerViewManager.java:1: error: cannot access com.sbugert.rnadmob
