I found a complete working guide of native ads (AdMob) in a single view in swift. I tried but fail to successfully use native ads in tableview
I added pod, native Unit ID and app identifier in my app
the link for guide is here
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-ios-examples/releases
This is the code for advice native ad
Thanks for any guide, help or complete implementation

You can store a list of native ads in your view controller and have a dedicated table view cell that just has a native ad as its content view. Then when you are dequeuing the ad cell, you can set its ad using the corresponding ad from your list of pre-loaded ads.
