Did you fix this?

I had the same problem, it was caused by line PrivateDependencyModuleNames.Add("AndroidAdvertising"); in *build.cs file. I solved it by adding it only for Android platform:

if (Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Android) {
  PrivateDependencyModuleNames.Add(AndroidAdvertising);
}

That helped me to build, Thanks!
I think you forgot to add apostrophe “AndroidAdvertising”
