AdMob used with iOS 6 crashes the app (unrecognized selector)

Question

I'm using AdMob 6.2.1 in my app which runs under iOS 6 only. I've followed google instructions and everything is working well when running on the simulator and on my iPhone 5.

But, when submitting to Apple the app, i get it refused and the crash log indicates the following:

Last Exception Backtrace:

8   Dus                             0x000b57cc -[DMViewController viewDidLoad] (DMViewController.m:131)

I don't understand why it is working for me and crashing with Apple staff.

I had added -ObjC (both to Debug and Release) to Other Linker Flags in Build Settings.

Here is the block code where the crash occurs:

bannerView = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner origin:origin];

bannerView.adUnitID = @"MYBANNERID";
[bannerView setRootViewController:self];
[bannerView setDelegate:self];
bannerView.center = CGPointMake(self.view.center.x, bannerView.center.y);

GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];

[bannerView loadRequest:request]; //CRASHES HERE
[self.view addSubview:bannerView];

Thank you all for your help.

Place request into ViewDidAppear method.
