3 sections, as written by the author

Banner ads are rectangular image or text ads that occupy a spot within an app's

layout. They remain on screen during user interaction and can refresh

automatically.

Ad Placement Guidelines

CRITICAL: You MUST evaluate and apply the following guidelines before

proceeding with any banner ad implementation.

Determine Ad Placement:
[ ] Identify the target file where the ad should be placed. Ask if

unsure.

[ ] Inspect view hierarchy when the target file is identified.

Examine the file and determine whether the parent container of the ad is

a scrollable view (such as a list, scroll view, grid) or a static,

non-scrollable view.

Scrollable Content: Use Inline Adaptive Banner.
Non-Scrollable Content: Use Large Anchored Adaptive.
Positioning: If not specified, ask if the ad should be

anchored to either the top or bottom of the screen.

Workflow

Determine the user's platform: Identify if the project is Android or

iOS. If unclear, ask before proceeding.

Read the platform guide for implementation details:
Android: references/android-banner.md
iOS: references/ios-banner.md

Follow these steps in order:
[ ] Define the ad view
[ ] Set the ad size
[ ] Register for ad load events
[ ] Load the banner ad
[ ] Verify the implementation

After the banner ad is successfully implemented, remind the user to replace

the test ad unit ID with their own.
