Firebase/Admob installation guide with pods on Cocoapods site vs Firebase installation guide on google

I'm trying to integrate firebase/admob ads for ios app using Cocoapods. On Cocaopods site there is a guide such as downloading Cocoapods first then creating a pod file in the app and adding a code using pods. On Google site there are also instructions on how to install firebase ads sdk using pods but then it seems that I also need to insert coding such as gad etc in the actual application. I'm new to this, so I'm a bit confused - is Cocoapods coding enough or do I also need to add coding in the application as well in terms of initializing ads or creating buttons for specific ads such as banner/interstitial etc?

Also, I think the code is in C that's why I had problems with it and not Swift. I've managed to get almost everything done - I have a problem when I use self.bannerView and also GADBannerView with messages that it hasn't been declared previously. I tried to follow Objective C because that's how the code looks like, but don't seem to be able to resolve this.

You have to add some coding in the app as well such that importing the Googlemobileads in the app delegate and configuring it in the func didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

GADMobileAds.configure(withApplicationID: "Your application id")

and then adding the below code in your first controller or the controller in which you want to show the adds:

var bannerView: GADBannerView!    
bannerView = GADBannerView(adSize: kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait)
bannerView.frame.origin.y = self.view.frame.size.height - bannerView.frame.size.height
self.view.addSubview(bannerView)
bannerView.adUnitID = "Your ad unit id"
bannerView.rootViewController = self
bannerView.load(GADRequest())
