[Firebase AdMob] | Example app does not run | PlatformException(load_failed_ad, cannot reload a failed ad, id=555755095, null)

[kroikie]

The main problem is that even Test ads are not showing up with
FirebaseAdMob.instance.initialize(appId: FirebaseAdMob.testAppId);
adUnitId: BannerAd.testAdUnitId,

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the example app.

2. Sample APP ID added like this
   <!-- Sample AdMob App ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713 --> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713"/>

3. Added test device ID like this
   const String testDevice = 'B5BD02099B12769D58DBD05B64D1DFAF';

I am running on a Physical device. Below is information for that

Target Platform: Android (I have not tested in iOS yet)
Target OS version/browser: Android 9
Devices: Xiomi MI A1
