AppLovinSdk: [DataCollector] Could not collect Google Advertising ID - this will negatively impact your eCPMs! Please integrate the Google Play Services SDK into your application. More info can be found online at http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html. If you're sure you've integrated the SDK and are still seeing this message, you may need to add a ProGuard exception: -keep public class com.google.android.gms.** { public protected *; }
java.io.IOException: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Timed out waiting for the service connection

Feel free to try 21.5.0 for api 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.6.0', and also implementationoverapi` as the dependency configuration. Note some devices (e.g. Huawei) will always show this error as it does not have Google Play Services installed.
