Google Abmob ads working when testing, but not working when published. (Unity)

Question

The Test Ads are working correctly but when I published it on play store, the ads were not working. Link to the game https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.GreyMacleno.FruitChop. Here is the Code of my AdManager

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using System;
using GoogleMobileAds.Api;

public class AdManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static AdManager Instance{get;set;}
    private BannerView bannerAd;
    private InterstitialAd interstitialAd;
    private RewardBasedVideoAd rewardVideoAd;




    void Awake()
    {
        if (Instance == null)
        {
            DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
            Instance = this;
        }
        else if (Instance != this)
        {
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
            return;
        }
    }

    void Start()
    {
        MobileAds.Initialize(initStatus => { });
        RequestBanner();
        RequestInterstitial();

    }

    void RequestBanner(){

        // for real
        string banner_ID = "not showing but correctly entered";

        // for testing
        // string banner_ID = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111";

        bannerAd = new BannerView(banner_ID, AdSize.Banner, AdPosition.Bottom);

        // for real
        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();

        // For testing
        // AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().AddTestDevice("2077ef9a63d2b398840261c8221a0c9b").Build();

        bannerAd.LoadAd(adRequest);

    }

    void RequestInterstitial(){

        if(interstitialAd != null)
            interstitialAd.Destroy();

        // for real
        string interstitial_ID = "not showing but correctly entered";

        // for testing
        // string interstitial_ID = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712";
        interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(interstitial_ID);

        // Called when an ad request has successfully loaded.
        interstitialAd.OnAdLoaded += HandleOnAdLoaded;

        // for real
        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();

        // For testing
        // AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().AddTestDevice("2077ef9a63d2b398840261c8221a0c9b").Build();

        interstitialAd.LoadAd(adRequest);
    }


    public void DisplayBanner(){
        bannerAd.Show();
    }

    public void DisplayInterstitialAd(){
        if(interstitialAd.IsLoaded()){
            interstitialAd.Show();
        }
        else{
            RequestInterstitial();
            interstitialAd.Show();
        }
    }


    public void HandleOnAdLoaded(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        DisplayBanner(); 
    }

    public void HandleOnAdFailedToLoad(object sender, AdFailedToLoadEventArgs args)
    {
        RequestBanner();
    }

    public void HandleOnAdOpened(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        MonoBehaviour.print("HandleAdOpened event received");
    }

    public void HandleOnAdClosed(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        MonoBehaviour.print("HandleAdClosed event received");    
    }

    public void HandleOnAdLeavingApplication(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        MonoBehaviour.print("HandleAdLeavingApplication event received");
    }

    void HandleBannerADEvents(bool subscribe){
        if(subscribe){
            // Called when an ad request has successfully loaded.
            this.bannerAd.OnAdLoaded += this.HandleOnAdLoaded;
            // Called when an ad request failed to load.
            this.bannerAd.OnAdFailedToLoad += this.HandleOnAdFailedToLoad;
            // Called when an ad is clicked.
            this.bannerAd.OnAdOpening += this.HandleOnAdOpened;
            // Called when the user returned from the app after an ad click.
            this.bannerAd.OnAdClosed += this.HandleOnAdClosed;
            // Called when the ad click caused the user to leave the application.
            this.bannerAd.OnAdLeavingApplication += this.HandleOnAdLeavingApplication;
        }
        else{
            // Called when an ad request has successfully loaded.
            this.bannerAd.OnAdLoaded -= this.HandleOnAdLoaded;
            // Called when an ad request failed to load.
            this.bannerAd.OnAdFailedToLoad -= this.HandleOnAdFailedToLoad;
            // Called when an ad is clicked.
            this.bannerAd.OnAdOpening -= this.HandleOnAdOpened;
            // Called when the user returned from the app after an ad click.
            this.bannerAd.OnAdClosed -= this.HandleOnAdClosed;
            // Called when the ad click caused the user to leave the application.
            this.bannerAd.OnAdLeavingApplication -= this.HandleOnAdLeavingApplication;
        }
    }
    void OnEnable(){
        HandleBannerADEvents(true);
    }

    void OnDisable(){
        HandleBannerADEvents(false);
    }
}

I am calling the DisplayInterstitialAd() where I want to run the interstitial Ads. Few are saying that I should wait, but its been 3 days and I am still waiting for the ads to show up. I have linked the app with Admob. The version of Unity is 2019.3.13f1.

Found the solution. My Admob account was not verified and hence my ad serving was not enabled. Once it got verified the ads started showing up.

Google Abmob ads working when testing, but not working when published. (Unity)
