Answer 1

Go to Admob - Select App - App Setting - App ID copy the value from App ID

Now add this (change this android:value="paste the App ID value you copy from your admob app" )

<meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
            android:value="ca-app-pub-111100000000~1111111"/>

meta-data into AndroidManifest.xml file

No need to add anything in APPLICATION_ID from android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"

This will work!

Because with "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.1.1" You need to update something.

You have to Update your AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest>
    <application>
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AD_MANAGER_APP"
            android:value="true"/>
    </application>
</manifest>

And with this:

<manifest>
    <application>
        <!-- Sample AdMob App ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713 -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
            android:value="[ADMOB_APP_ID]"/>
    </application>
</manifest>

https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start#update_your_androidmanifestxml

Otherwise You have to use "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:16.0.0"

Answer 3

Use "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:16.0.0", the new 17.1.1 change some code implementation, ie, you need do that in ur source too, or back to 16.0.0 for now...

will fix your error for while...
