### iOS

  • Information about upcoming Ads within one Adbreak are missing on an `AdBreakStarted` event. The `AdBreak.ads` property only contains ads that have already been started. Therefore, it is expected to be empty when `AdBreakStartedEvent` is seen.

    • The property is correctly filled once the Adbreak ends and an `AdBreakFinished` event is emitted.

  • Starting IMA Ads while the Application is in background, is currently not fully supported by the IMA SDK. This includes the use cases such as AirPlay and Picture-in-Picture. In that situation, Ad playback occasionally continues, but our SDK does not emit the corresponding expected events.

    • See [this](🔗) post for more details and status updates.

  • Scheduled Ads are not played back on the receiver when casting to a Google Chromecast compatible device per default. Since version `3.43.0` of our Player iOS SDK there is the possibility to configure the behaviour of scheduled Ads when casting ends.

    • With the `TweaksConfig.discardAdsWhileCasting` it is possible to define that scheduled Ads either should playback on the sender device after casting or if Ads which were scheduled at a time where casting was active, should be discarded.

### tvOS

  • The IMA SDK for tvOS does not provide an ads UI

### Android
