AdMob tells me i haven’t setup my app-ads.txt yet even though i have, and my server logs suggest it was crawled successfully. 

I am hosting my app-ads.txt file via Firebase hosting. When i check the access logs, it shows that the userAgent: Google-adstxt has accessed the following url successfully several times over the past few days (200 response in all cases)

Am i correct that is confirms my site was successfully crawled? 

In my AdMob account however, it tells me that no URL’s have been crawled and that i haven’t set up an app-ads.txt yet??

Does anyone know how to unstick this? This is the only thing preventing me from publishing at this stage
