I have the same issue here:

I'm using the create-react-native-app scripts
The project isn't expo ejected
The app is built using: exp build:android --config app.json

A portion of package.json:

"devDependencies": {
    "react-native-scripts": "1.14.0",
    "jest-expo": "~27.0.0",
    "react-test-renderer": "16.3.1"
  },
  "main": "./node_modules/react-native-scripts/build/bin/crna-entry.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-native-scripts start",
    "eject": "react-native-scripts eject",
    "android": "react-native-scripts android",
    "ios": "react-native-scripts ios",
    "test": "jest"
  },
  "jest": {
    "preset": "jest-expo"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "expo": "^29.0.0",
    "react": "^16.3.1",
    "react-native": "~0.55.2",
    "react-native-admob": "^2.0.0-beta.5",

Ad is show up on emulator (Genymotion) but not on real device (debug.apk) !

This is caused by not setting the AppID most likely, there is no way to set it currently on this lib

having the same issue here. admob banner is displayed in dev environment, but in build it is not showing.

EDIT: Don't know if this would help, but my problem got solved (atleast partially). Didn't do anything but wait. waited for 25 mins before the first ad showed up, and gradually 3-4 came up.

On your device, check that Limit Ad Tracking is not enabled:

Settings -> Privacy -> Advertising

troubleshoot below:

a) test ad id - test ad should load b) wrong ad id - no ad should on load (nothing should show), wrong id can be '1111111' c) real ad id - real ad should NOT load locally (nothing should show, since it not uploaded) d) real ad id - real ad should load after uploading to google play (after 4 hours or so, after upload)

Ads only work on emulator. They don't work in signed apk for some reason. Does this mean that ads will appear when app deployed to play store/app store?

Did you signed the app? I had same problem but now my ads are showing..

I think if apk release not upload to google play store, The Ads cannot displayed in Release Apk.
