Error with admob in my Corona game

Hello I have tried to get admob to work in my game, but I can't figure it out. I've checked http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/monetization/adSupport/index.html and admobs documentation but it's still not working, I have no idea where to put the code tbh, and I havent created a build.settings file. the current lua files I have is my main.lua, config.lua, mydata.lua, restart.lua, start.lua, score.lua and game.lua. I'm just wondering where i should put the code and what code to put where. would love to get an answer quickly as i have struggle with this for a month now...

Also do i need the build.settings? My game works perfecty on my phone and on the simulator but without ads that is...

So now i have this code in my build.settings: 

settings =
plugins =
{
    -- key is the name passed to Lua's 'require()'
    ["CoronaProvider.ads.admob"] =
    {
        -- required
        publisherId = "com.coronalabs",
    },
},      
}

And this is my main.lua:

display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar )
local storyboard = require "storyboard"
storyboard.gotoScene( "start" )


local ads = require "ads"

local function adListener( event )
    if event.isError then
        -- Failed to receive an ad.
    end
end

ads.init( "admob", "ca-app-pub-****", adListener )
ads.show( "banner", { x=0, y=5 } )

I still when I try to build it for android, an error occur saying: there is an error in your "build.settings" file. Please see the console output for more details. Don't know what that means

Without build.settings you cannot include related libraries for AdMob. So you should have a build.settings including this code block:

settings =
{
    plugins =
    {
        -- key is the name passed to Lua's 'require()'
        ["CoronaProvider.ads.admob"] =
        {
            -- required
            publisherId = "com.coronalabs",
        },
    },      
}

And, you cannot see the ads, in Corona Simulator. You should use Xcode simulator, or you should test at a device.
