iOS Native Ads Memory Leak

[Mert İdacı]

Hello,

I am using Native Advanced ads for displaying ads in a UITableView. When the ads are loaded, the memory usage rises as expected. However, when I leave the ViewController, there is no drop in memory. Normally, ARC should free up RAM as the ViewController is no longer active. And the bad thing is that this ViewController (that the Native Ads are displayed in a UITableView) can be opened and closed multiple times in the app, eventually causing a huge memory leak and leading the app to crash.

There are also other items in the UITableView such as photos and texts, which are not a part of the ads. But these items don't cause any memory problem as they are deallocated after leaving the ViewController. The only problem is about the ads which I seem to have no control over.

I am using Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK (7.52.0).

Thanks in advance for your help...
