In my case, I was able to fix it by removing the call to ad.dispose() at the onAdFailedToLoad listener.

Not fixed here. Any other solution?

Initially, I was facing the same issue. The problem was UI is trying to load the banner ads while the ad is not ready yet. To check just turn off the internet then try to run the app in debug mode. If the app is crashed then your problem is the same as mine. So you shouldn’t try to load the while ad is not ready. to fix it just follow the example of this repo. They have a very good example of those cases.

It was all fine with banner and full screen ads. but this issue occurs when using native ads.
