Crash from `GADApplicationVerifyPublisherInitializedCorrectly + 296`

[Chris Tibbs]

I'm getting this error in my iOS app, which causes a crash. This crash doesn't reproduce when running the app in debug mode, it only happens after I deploy the app to TestFlight and launch it on my device.

From the Xcode crash logs it looks like it's hitting an NSException. I attached a screenshot of the relevant info.

I was able to reproduce the crash locally, which gave me the following message:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'GADInvalidInitializationException', reason: 'The Google Mobile Ads SDK was initialized without an application ID. Google AdMob publishers, follow instructions at https://googlemobileadssdk.page.link/admob-ios-update-plist to set a valid application ID. Google Ad Manager publishers, follow instructions at https://googlemobileadssdk.page.link/ad-manager-ios-update-plist.'

Following those instructions resolved the crash. No further assistance is needed, thanks Princess!
