Hello Google Mobile Ads SDK Team,

After updating to the latest Google Mobile Ads SDK v24.6.0, I’m experiencing consistent ad loading issues on Android 15 devices.

Issue Details:

Banner ads never load (not even test ads).
App Open Ads often fail silently or timeout without an error.

Environment:

Devices tested: Pixel 7, Samsung Galaxy S23
OS: Android 15
SDK: Google Mobile Ads SDK v24.6.0
Language/IDE: Kotlin, Android Studio Giraffe+
Integration: Using official AdMob APIs with standard initialization.

What I’ve Tried:

Verified ad unit IDs and tested with both real and test ads.
Confirmed AdMob SDK initialization succeeds (checked via Ad Inspector).
Cleared cache, uninstalled/reinstalled the app.
Integrated Consent CMP for EEA compliance.
Rolled back to SDK v24.5.0 — ads load normally there.

Expected Behavior:
Banner and App Open Ads should load successfully at least in test mode.

Actual Behavior:
No banner impressions are shown, and App Open Ads frequently fail or time out.

It looks like a possible regression in v24.6.0 on Android 15.
Please investigate and confirm if this issue is known or if a fix is being prepared in an upcoming SDK update.
