Having Issues With AdMob on Android

I’m getting this error when uploading my app to the Play Console: Your advertising ID declaration in Play Console says that your app uses advertising ID. A manifest file in one of your active artifacts doesn’t include the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission.

I have it in my config file, but am I doing it wrong?

Here’s how my App.appendToConfig looks:

App.appendToConfig(`
  <platform name="android">
    <edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <application android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" />
    </edit-config>
    <edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application/activity" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <activity android:exported="true"></activity>
    </edit-config>
    <edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
           <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gm.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
                      android:value="ca-app-pub-myappID"/>
         </edit-config>
  </platform>
`);
