Este error está asociado a la librería de com.google.android.gms.ads.

Para solucionarlo tenemos que ir a nuestro AndroidManifest.xml generado, buscar esta línea:

    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.DELAY_APP_MEASUREMENT_INIT" android:value="true"/>

Y cambiarla a false:

    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.DELAY_APP_MEASUREMENT_INIT" android:value="false"/>

Otra forma de solucionarlo es ir a nuestro archivo app.json y añadir esto:

 "react-native-google-mobile-ads": { 
"android_app_id": "xxxxxxxxxxxx", 
"ios_app_id": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", 
"delay_app_measurement_init": true 
}
