How to remove/exclude AdSupport Class from Xamarin.iOS to disable Firebase Analytics from accessing IDFA

Hi All, I'm using Firebase Analytics v6.9.0 in my Xamarin.Forms app. I want to disable the SDK from accessing IDFA (requires removing AdSupport Class from the app) and IDFV. The Google Firebase docs has information for disabling IDFV. But, to disable IDFA it says we need to exclude the AdSupport framework. AFAIK, in Xamarin, the AdSupport class is embedded in Xamarin.iOS.dll by default.

Question:
How do I remove the AdSupport class from Xamarin.iOS? If this class is present in the app, Firebase Analytics SDK will pick it (in my case via Firebase.Core.dll that references Xamarin.iOS) to access the IDFA for tracking user dimensions.

Up to 10 attachments (including images) can be used with a maximum of 3.0 MiB each and 30.0 MiB total.

If we can't remove the AdSupport class, then I have to remove Firebase Analytics SDK from my app. So, I wanted to confirm this before removing it.

Hi Lucas, thanks for your response! Since the AdSupport class is found in the Xamarin.iOS.dll. I just wanted to check if there is any way to remove/exclude this class from Xamarin.iOS so that Firebase doesn't use it. So, this is not possible right?
