Description 🤔
The correlator in Google Ad Manager is the query parameter that tells Ad Manager if you are still on the same screen, so ads should be unique, or if you have moved to a different one, so ads should be different.
We have found that the correlator value is not changing between screens, so the google ad server assumes you are on the same page/screen constantly and requires unique ads. This means that you can 'run out' of ads when you navigate through the app.
These PR changes make the request correlator a random value for each ad request.
