title: iOS 7 Google AdMob not appearing
body: <p>I am trying to add an AdMob banner on an application.  I am using iOS 7 both simulator and iPhone device.</p>
  
  <p>My code is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-(GADRequest *)createRequest {
  GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
  request.testDevices = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:GAD_SIMULATOR_ID, nil];
  return request;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run this on the iPhone 5s device I get the following error in the console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Google&gt; To get test ads on this device, call: request.testDevices = @[ @"7523f590b222af575517f669f4d63632" ];
  
  &lt;Google&gt; Invalid Request: {
  errors = "Cannot determine request type. Is your ad unit id correct?";
  "google.afma.Notify_dt" = 1389504628864;
  "request_id" = 1;
  "request_scenario" = "offline_empty";
  type = unknown;
  "use_webview_loadurl" = 0;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I change my code to what is suggested, i.e.</p>
  
  <pre><code>-(GADRequest *)createRequest {
  GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
  request.testDevices = @[ @"7523f590b222af575517f669f4d63632" ];
  return request;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the exact same error message.</p>
  
  <p>Now when I run this in the simulator I get this error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Google&gt; To get test ads on this device, call: request.testDevices = @[ GAD_SIMULATOR_ID ];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And if I change my code to what Google suggests, i.e.:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-(GADRequest *)createRequest {
  GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
  request.testDevices = @[ GAD_SIMULATOR_ID ];
  return request;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Again I get the same error message.  Is there any problem with AdMob and iOS 7? Is there something wrong in my implementation?  I went through the AdMob documentation and everything is according to what Google suggests.</p>
  
  <p>Hope somebody can help me with that.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot</p>
