Admob Test Banner isn't showing up

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 38.0.8
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android/iOS

Expo managed workflow here.

I am just trying to test the test banners, but it’s not showing up. I do have an approved admob account.

I have referred to https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/admob/ along with other sites.

app.json:

"android": {
      ...
      "config": {
        "googleMobileAdsAppId": "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111"
      }

screen.js

<AdMobBanner
    bannerSize="fullBanner"
    adUnitID="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111"
    // Test ID, Replace with your-admob-unit-id
    onDidFailToReceiveAdWithError={err => {
    console.log(err);
    alert("Ad failed");
    }}
    onAdViewDidReceiveAd={() => {
    console.log("Ad Recieved");
    }}
    //style={{ backgroundColor: "red" }}                      
/>

^I get the alert “Ad failed” and on the command prompt, I see “ERROR_CODE_INTERNAL_ERROR.”

Nothing shows up; the “banner” either doesn’t exist or is transparent. When I uncomment the backgroundcolor:red line, I can see a red banner though.

What am I doing wrong? I have tried using my actual AdsAppId in app.json and with either actual or test adID in screen.js and still nothing.

Thanks

Did you enter the payment details in the admob console?
