I couldn't create AdMob banner in my Xamarin.ios - ios

Question

I'm trying to add AdMob banner in my Xamarin iOS project. You can see my code below.
public void AddAdvirtesement()
{
var adView = new BannerView();
adView.Frame = new CGRect(0, View.Bounds.Height - 50, View.Bounds.Width, 50);
adView.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Gray;
adView.AdUnitID = bannerId;
adView.RootViewController = this;
View.AddSubview(adView);
var request = Request.GetDefaultRequest();
string[] testdevices = new string[2];
//testdevices[0] = Request.SimulatorId.ToString();
//testdevices[1] = "b5f64ec8566bf1a5cd1cb853d7106aa7";
request.TestDevices = testdevices;
adView.LoadRequest(request);
}
i get this output above code:
2016-12-11 22:25:42.659 betcluev4[9220:627724] You are
currently using version 7.11.0 of the SDK. Please consider updating
your SDK to the most recent SDK version to get the latest features and
bug fixes. The latest SDK can be downloaded from .......
but I already have the latest SDK of Firebase (7.11.0). Any thoughts?

Check out the plist configurations for FireBase that are needed in your project , and the sample code below
Configurations
Once you have your GoogleService-Info.plist file downloaded in your computer, do the following steps in Xamarin Studio:
Add GoogleService-Info.plist file to your app project.
Set GoogleService-Info.plist build action behaviour to Bundle Resource by Right clicking/Build Action.
Open GoogleService-Info.plist file and change IS_ADS_ENABLED value to Yes.
Add the following line of code somewhere in your app, typically in your AppDelegate's FinishedLaunching method (don't forget to import Firebase.Analytics namespace):
App.Configure ();
Sample Code
using Google.MobileAds;
const string bannerId = "<Get your ID at google.com/ads/admob>";
BannerView adView;
bool viewOnScreen = false;
public void AddBanner ()
{
// Setup your BannerView, review AdSizeCons class for more Ad sizes.
adView = new BannerView (size: AdSizeCons.Banner, origin: new CGPoint (0, 0)) {
AdUnitID = bannerId,
RootViewController = this
};
// Wire AdReceived event to know when the Ad is ready to be displayed
adView.AdReceived += (object sender, EventArgs e) => {
if (!viewOnScreen) {
View.AddSubview (adView);
viewOnScreen = true;
}
};
var request = Request.GetDefaultRequest ();
// Requests test ads on devices you specify. Your test device ID is printed to the console when
// an ad request is made. GADBannerView automatically returns test ads when running on a
// simulator. After you get your device ID, add it here
request.TestDevices = new [] { Request.SimulatorId.ToString () };
// Request an ad
adView.LoadRequest (request);
}
