They have updated the AdMob SDK, you have to add your appID in the AndroidManifest

<application> . . . <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-################~##########"/> </application>

This fixed the crash but for some reason ads won’t load for me, please let me know if you experience the same issue.
