Quick checklist

• Android: ensure com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID is set in Platforms/Android/AndroidManifest.xml and you have INTERNET + ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions.
• iOS: ensure GADApplicationIdentifier is set in Platforms/iOS/Info.plist and that you initialize the SDK in your AppDelegate as described in Setup.
• Consent: if consent is required, ads will not be requested until consent is obtained (unless you intentionally disabled consent checks).
• New apps: newly created / re-activated AdMob apps can take time before real ads have inventory.
