See the temporary solution here:

in plugin.xml, change:

        <framework src="com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+" />

to:

        <!-- since 5.10.2018 new version of google admobs require extra things in AndroidManifest.xml, 16.0.0 is the last compatible version -->
        <!-- https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start#update_your_androidmanifestxml -->
        <framework src="com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:16.0.0" />

I will find better solution later, but you can use this one for now.

the plugin has been modified to resolve this issue.
try update the plugin to [email protected]

Remember to edit \platforms\android\app\src\mainAndroidManifest.xml with this changement:
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start#update_your_androidmanifestxml
And notice that it's the ADMOB APP ID and not the ADMOB AD ID.
