React-native-firebase: [馃悰] Banner appears only if I reload the application from the console.

Issue



I am trying to add a SMART_BANNER to my application, but it only appears when I reload from the console.

For example, if I open the application directly, it does not show the ad, it is completely white, but it shows that the rendering on the console has loaded.

As it is in the App.js file...

"Advert loaded" only works if I press "R" on the console.

_Sorry my english, using google translator!_

Hello 馃憢, to help manage issues we automatically close stale issues.
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had activity for quite some time. Has this issue been fixed, or does it still require the community's attention?

This issue will be closed in 15 days if no further activity occurs.
Thank you for your contributions.

Can confirm I'm getting this as well.
Calling forceUpdate or changing state on the component rendering the BannerAd doesn't work either.
It's only if you make a change to a file, save, and thus force metro/packager to refresh, that the ad is finally shown and onAdLoaded triggered.

Release builds also affected.

It's also present in latest rn-firebase+admob versions, using:
