Android Question AdMob ads problem

Hi communities, I am aware that changes have been made to serve admob ads on apps. I'm reading other posts on the case and following the advice, however, I can't implement the ads on my apps. Many of my apps are no longer in line with the admob policies and therefore the ads have been removed. Now I ask you if anyone can give me an example on how to implement the ads with the new rules. I tried them all thanks in advance.

[B4XPages] Admob Example

Check this other excellent example from @Jack Cole. To help the new members to make money with B4A, I tried to compile all the relevant Admob code (except mediation) of the forum in this example and put comments and links. This is a work in progress. Any code and sample to improve this example...

Hi I'm following all the instructions to the letter but when I launch the app the loading remains fixed in the middle of the bar without any error. I also tried with the example id but nothing.

if I remove Firebase AdMob and the manifest code then the app starts it works. I am using FireBaseAdMob 1.60.

Hi I created a new project I followed the tutorial to the letter, the app loads but dies when the activity is loaded. I tested all my apps where I had banner ads the same thing happens. I noticed that removing the code from the manifest the app works but without banner so I deduce that the code of the manifest is the problem. I tried leaving only FirbaseAdmob macro, FirbaseAds but nothing the app dies.
B4X: 
Sub Load_Banners
    BannerAd.Initialize2("BannerAd","ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111",BannerAd.SIZE_SMART_BANNER) ' Test Banner
    
    Dim height As Int
    
    If GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize < 6 Then
        'phones
        If 100%x > 100%y Then height = 62dip Else height=50dip
    Else
        'Tablets
        height=90dip
    End If
    Activity.AddView(BannerAd,0dip, 100%y - height, 100%x, height)
    BannerAd.LoadAd
    'IAd.Initialize("IAd","ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712") 'Test interstitial
    'IAd.Initialize("IAd","ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712")
    'IAd.LoadAd
    
End Sub

You must set application ID ads in AndroidManifest and check your FirebaseAdmob version >1,55 too!

- Check this:

FirebaseAdMob v1.6

Google has added a few new requirements to AdMob implementation. You must make these changes if you are using the latest versions of Android SDK libraries (firebase-ads 18.1.1+). Instructions: 2. Find your AdMob app id and add it to the manifest editor: 'This is a sample AdMob app id. You need...
www.b4x.com

- Check the unfiltered logs

- You don't checked the example that I posted above, because:
a) there are many phones with ApproximateScreenSize > 6
b) is better to use the Adaptive Banners of the example; you don't need worry about the height of the banner.

I tried your example it always tells me app not installed. I tried bluestacke and the app restarts right away.
I copied the code back into a new project it does the same thing.

If the AdMob service is not linked to Firebase then the 'google-services. json' file does not contain the 'admob_app_id' field which causes the app to crash as soon as it opens.
