4. For Android Only
   Update AndroidManifest.xml Manifest Activities
   Add the following activities inside the <application> tag on your manifest:

           <meta-data
               android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
               android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

   <string>[APP_ID]</string>

   Replace the “GADApplicationIdentifier” value with the APP ID value you retrieve in step 3.
   Not doing so results in crashes originated with AdMob’s SDK. For more information please refer to AdMob’s guide.
