NullReferenceException upon enabling Unity Services and ads

Unity Services

I recently enabled the unity services as well as ads. I have not added any code as of yet. However upon pressing the play button I am greeted with

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I have had no luck finding any answers to what this could be any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

@kalecjason

Which version of Unity were you using? If it is after 2018.1, can you check which version of Unity Ads you have installed in Package Manager?

I am using Unity 2019.1.8f1 and i am using Ads version 2.0.8

I’ve not seen these error before, but it looks like there is some issue when the Ads SDK tries to initialize in the Editor.

I would recommend disabling Ads from the Services Window and downloading the Asset Store package:
