No virtual method setRequestAgent Error in Google Mobile Ads SDK 23.0.0

[Natalie Dzhulabi]

Hi everyone,

I'm encountering an issue with my mobile game that's been in release for about a few weeks. Suddenly(it starts on 20th of May), I'm getting the following fatal error on game start:

```

No virtual method setRequestAgent(Ljava/lang/String;)Lcom/google/android/gms/ads/AdRequest$Builder; in class Lcom/google/android/gms/ads/AdRequest$Builder; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest$Builder' appears in base.apk)

```

Here are the details of my setup:

- **Google Mobile Ads SDK version**: 23.0.0

- **Build environment**: Unity

- **Other dependencies**: Various, all updated to their latest versions

Despite these efforts, the error persists. This issue started occurring without any recent changes to the codebase, which leads me to believe it might be related to external factors, possibly updates from Google or changes in their server configurations.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.
