I am using version flutter_native_admob: "2.1.0+3"
i have these dependencies in the android/build.gradle

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0'
    }

i have the apply plugin at the end of the app/build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
and i have a correct APPLICATION_ID in the Android Manifest
and a valid adUnitID for the nativeAd
am i still missing something?

You can use it for native ads, its just complex as compared to what you will be doing with this package but it works. You can use it.
