Support Google Mobile Ads Next-Gen SDK

[carlosnavarrogarcia]

Google is now recommending migrating Android apps to the new Google Mobile Ads Next-Gen SDK:

com.google.android.libraries.ads.mobile.sdk:ads-mobile-sdk

Currently @capacitor-community/admob still depends on:

com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads

Is there any plan to migrate the plugin to the Next-Gen SDK?

Thanks!

Thanks for opening this.

I put together an Android Next-Gen migration in #450. I’m currently leaning toward keeping it off the Capacitor 8 line and merging it with the Capacitor 9 major, because the migration has backward-compatibility costs.

I’d like your thoughts on that timing.
