Expected Behavior

Main Thread Checker: Resolve UI API errors called in background threads

How to Reproduce

It can be reproduced by releasing the ViewController that implements NativeAd.

Having the same problem after upgrading to 12.6.1. Leads to an abrupt crash. It seems to be coming from the method "destroyAd" from my MANativeAdLoader instance. I tried wrapping the call in a block that executes on the main thread but it did not solve the problem. My stacktrace:

@nvrtdfrst thanks for the update. We have a fix for this going out in the next SDK release (internal ticket). We'll let you know when the fix is live.
