I am following a tutorial of adding a Banner Ad. But for me it gives this error.

The getter 'testAdUnitID' isn't defined for the type 'BannerAd'.

Is testAdUnitID is deprecated or something? What's the way out?

My code is:

  void _initBannerAd() {
    _bannerAd = BannerAd(
      size: AdSize.banner,
      adUnitId: BannerAd.testAdUnitID,
      listener: BannerAdListener(),
      request: AdRequest(),
    );
  }

Here is the screenshot:

    I was watching this video. @ video timestamp: 3:00 here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIp5ATit_d0&t=2s&ab_channel=CodeX – Saad Mansoor Nov 22 '22 at 10:36
  • I still dont understand why testAdUnitID' was error prone. However, I got to know that 'adUnitId' property accepts a string. So, I solved it by giving hard coded string of testing banner ad, e.g. (ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111). instead of writing BannerAd.testAdUnitId. – Saad Mansoor Nov 22 '22 at 10:39
