bug: Manifest merger failed : Attribute property#android.adservices.AD_SERVICES_CONFIG conflict

[braincomb]

Describe the bug

This error pops up during build in Android Studio:

Manifest merger failed : Attribute property#android.adservices.AD_SERVICES_CONFIG@resource value=(@xml/gma_ad_services_config) from [com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-lite:23.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:92:13-59
	is also present at [com.facebook.android:facebook-core:18.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:57:13-55 value=(@xml/ad_services_config).
	Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:resource"' to <property> element at AndroidManifest.xml to override

Overriding play-services-ads to latest version seems to do the trick for me, since the default 23.0.0 is super old:

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:24.2.0"

To Reproduce

• Install @capacitor-community/admob v7.0.3 in Android project
• Install @capacitor-firebase/authentication v7.2.0 that also implements the facebook-core v18.0.0 SDK.
• Perform build in Android Studio

These two seem to conflict generating the error above.

Expected behavior

No errors, no conflicts.

Possible solution/workaround

As stated above, overriding version to latest seems to do the trick for:
