  style={styles.videoCont}
  resizeMode='contain'
  fullscreen={true}

  adTagUrl='https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?iu=/21775744923/external/single_preroll_skippable&sz=640x480&ciu_szs=300x250%2C728x90&gdfp_req=1&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&env=vp&impl=s&correlator='
  onReceiveAdEvent={(e) => console.log(e)}
/>

I have just try to reproduce on emulator, and the ads are playing correctly... I suspect something linked to your build... Maybe desugaring the apk can be the solution ... https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1312#issuecomment-2090448787
