Not able to add Google native ads in my iOS swift app - ios

Question

I have an iOS app in swift language. I have included Google AdMob ads in my app. I have implemented banner ads and interstitial ads but I am not able to generate the Ad ID for Native Ads. I have found an Ad Sense custom search native ads but I don't know for what purpose these ads are used. Can I use AdSense native ads in my mobile app. Please suggest me what to do and how to progress?

Below are the steps that I always follow whenever it comes to adding Google Admob Ads. Do take note that the example below will implement Google Admob in a table view.
Install Google Admob Ads via pod pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'
In AppDelegate > didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, setup/configure Google Admob GADMobileAds.configure(withApplicationID: Constant.googleAdmobAppID)
Next, create a class for Google Admob Banner.
import Foundation
import GoogleMobileAds
class GoogleAdMobBanner: NSObject, GADBannerViewDelegate {
unowned var sourceTableViewController: UITableViewController
var adBannerView: GADBannerView
init(sourceTableViewController: UITableViewController) {
self.sourceTableViewController = sourceTableViewController
adBannerView = GADBannerView(adSize: kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait)
super.init()
adBannerView.adUnitID = Constant.googleAdmobBannerID
adBannerView.delegate = self
adBannerView.rootViewController = sourceTableViewController
}
// MARK:- Google Admob
func adViewDidReceiveAd(_ bannerView: GADBannerView) {
print("Banner loaded successfully")
// Reposition the banner ad to create a slide up effect
let translateTransform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 0, y: -bannerView.bounds.size.height)
bannerView.transform = translateTransform
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5) {
bannerView.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity
self.sourceTableViewController.tableView.tableHeaderView = bannerView
}
}
func adView(_ bannerView: GADBannerView, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: GADRequestError) {
print("Fail to receive ads")
print(error)
}
func loadAdMob() {
let request = GADRequest()
request.testDevices = [kGADSimulatorID]
adBannerView.load(request)
}
}
Declare a lazy loaded admob banner in the desired class.
class MyController: UITableViewController {
lazy var googleAdMobBanner: GoogleAdMobBanner = {
return GoogleAdMobBanner(sourceTableViewController: self)
}()
}
Lastly, load the Google Admob in viewDidLoad
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
googleAdMobBanner.loadAdMob()
}
