Ionic cordova app built as android app bundle doesn't work [Shows white screen] when admob-plus-cordova plugin is installed

Describe the bug

Ionic cordova app built for production as android app bundle doesn't work while admob-plus-cordova plugin is installed. The app shows white screen after launch.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create new ionic app with cordova using ionic start myapp --cordova
  2. Add the plugin using the cli from docs:
ionic cordova plugin add admob-plus-cordova
npm install @admob-plus/ionic
  1. Generate ionic app bundle using & sign it ionic cordova build android --prod --release -- -- --packageType=bundle
  2. Upload the app to google play store and download the apk then run it on device Result: app shows white screen

Note: When I remove the plugin "admob-plus-cordova" and uninstall @admob-plus/ionic package, the apk from aab will work normally!

Expected behavior

The app should launch normally not stuck on white screen, when I run ionic cordova run android without --prod --releaseflag the app works but in prod and after aab release it doesn't

If your app starts with a white screen you could have a look at the JavaScript console through Google Chrome and USB to see the errors that might appear. Android Studio also lets you check logs via Logcat which can be helpful.
