I want to insert ads in Godot. Every time I export, this message appears.
While I’m not at all familiar with Android related things, seems like this SO discussion might point you in the right direction.
Generally it’s worth doing a google search on the exception / issue or error message you get, generally you can find your answer quite fast, and having a good Googling skill can be very valuable as a software developer.

Agreed. You should also use your current knowledge to narrow down the issue’s source and troubleshoot it. I generally do this before asking for help, but don’t let that discourage you from asking.
Edit: Forgot to add, it seems like this is your first post here. Welcome. Feel free to post more questions/issues you have. We have plenty of people willing to lend a hand or a golden nugget of knowledge.

This is amusing to me. (Not in a bad way!) I previously worked as an assembly language core system coder, for a number of the big three OS companies. The best Boss I ever had at Unisys, who oversaw me being contracted out, frowned on immediately Googling for an answer.
He liked us to investigate and try to determine the cause of the fault ourselves beforehand and only use searching as a last result.
It may seem strange but it did teach us all better fault finding skills. I have never respected any other Boss as much as him. Sorely miss his wisdom, even now working a indie dev.
Ryn.

While I agree that finding a solution all by yourself can also be helpful, most users here are beginners (I consider myself that even after 4 years of making games). They wouldn’t even have any idea where to START looking for a solution without googling. I think there’s a huge disconnect here between someone who already reached a certain level of expertise, and someone who maybe dipped their toes into making games, but only scratched the surface.

Very true, I didn’t mean it as a bad thing. Even with years of coding experience, I’m only a 5 month novice at Godot. I’m certainly guilty of Googling for an answer if I can’t find a solution myself or in the Docs…

There’s nothing to be guilty about when you google something.
As long as you take the time to truly understand what you were doing wrong, your still learning.
If anything, Google is just a massive library. Would you be guilty about researching a topic with a book in a library?
However, Google cannot program or finish your game for you. So make sure you have a balance of self-sufficiency and outside help.
