[🐛] Interstitial are not loading - v13.3.0 - blocking release

[MadeinFrance]

What happened?

Given: a release build: react-native run-android --mode=release

---

Then: the interstitial Ad is not loading anymore. (In previous version v12 the following code was working, now in v13 isLoaded is never true.)

Kotlin version: 1.9.22 RN: 0.74.1

const requestOptions: RequestOptions = {
  requestNonPersonalizedAdsOnly: false,
  keywords: getAdKeywords(),
}
const { isLoaded, load, show, error } = useInterstitialAd(interstitialAdUnitId,requestOptions)
