Please make sure that you have added the "iAd.framework"...

To do this go to the "App. Target", "General" and scroll down until you see "Linked Frameworks and Libraries". Hit "+" and select the iAd framework. See screen captures below...

In my case, this is the correct answer. I decided to include an adBannerView inside a nib, but forgot to import the framework into my project and do this. – Coach Roebuck May 16 '16 at 15:11
@CoachRoebuck Hey! Just saw this. I am glad that this helped you! It is hard to keep track of all the frameworks, especially in a big project... So easy to forget. – serge-k Jul 07 '16 at 00:09

You have not created object of AdBannerview..

First, create object for banner view and set delegate for it.

-(void)ViewDidLoad
{
   [self createBannerView];
}
- (void)createBannerView {

  Class cls = NSClassFromString(@"ADBannerView");
  if (cls) {
    ADBannerView *adView = [[cls alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];


    // Set the current size based on device orientation
    adView.currentContentSizeIdentifier = ADBannerContentSizeIdentifier320x50;
    adView.delegate = self;

    adView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin |
                              UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin;

    // Set initial frame to be offscreen
    CGRect bannerFrame =adView.frame;
    bannerFrame.origin.y = self.view.frame.size.height;
    adView.frame = bannerFrame;

    self.bannerView = adView;
    [self.view addSubview:adView];
    [adView release];
  }
}

no that didnt work either ADBannerContentSizeIdentifier is depreciated — MikeAsp, Jun 06 '14 at 12:44
First you create object and set delegate...without writing first ADBannerContentSizeIdentifier and check and run........and for more detail..http://useyourloaf.com/blog/2010/09/16/placing-iad-banners-at-the-top-of-a-table-view.html see this tutorial in more detail... — Bhoomi Jagani, Jun 06 '14 at 12:48
