Improvements

  • Add Xcode 15 support.

  • Updated the minimum deployment target to iOS 12.

  • Added support for privacy manifest files.

  • Added "initial rules" feature, where placement can be set to use a subset of ad rules for the first load. This is intended to allow the placement's first load to happen faster.

  • Changing the consent state will now trigger rule download - to pick the optimal set of rules for the given consent setting.

  • Early initialise of GoogleMobileAds.

Fixes

  • Fix an issue where SuperAwesome empty ads were not reported as failures.

3.7 Beta

3.7.0-beta1

2024-02-23

Library Updates

  • GraviteRTB to 1.1.0-beta1

3.6 Beta

3.6.0-beta2

2024-02-20

Improvements

  • Added support for IronSourceNew banner ads.

    • Note: A placement will present an IronSource banner once and block this IronSource instance ID for the next load as long as the banner is on screen. Then, the next render of another ad network ad will remove this blocking.

    • Suppose placement "A" presents an IronSource banner for an instance ID. In that case, no other placements can load this instance ID until placement "A" presents another ad and unblock this instance ID.

3.4.0-beta7

2023-11-08

Improvements

  • Provide a new BannerCache delegate called AATBannerCacheStatusDelegate that represents the cache status.

/// The delegate that represents the cache status
@objc
public protocol AATBannerCacheStatusDelegate: AnyObject {
    /// Will be called when the cache was empty and has been filled with at least one ad
    func cacheIsNoLongerEmpty()

    /// Will be called when the cache was filled and has been consumed and became empty
    func cacheIsEmpty()
}

Fixes

      • func AATKitCountedDirectDealImpression(placement: AATPlacement?, for network: AATAdNetwork)

      • func AATKitCountedMediationCycle(placement: AATPlacement?)

  • Placements will pass themselves to AATImpressionDelegate listener methods as a parameter called placement of type AATPlacement. This parameter will let the delegates know which placement triggered the delegate method. The placement name can be checked by using the method: placement.getName().

    • Changed APIs:

      • func didCountImpression(placement: AATPlacement?, _ impression: AATImpression)

  • Add child-directed support that enables publishers to treat their content as child-directed while requesting ads.

    • Note: if AdNetwork doesn't support child-directed Requests, AATKit will skip this network while requesting Ads.

      • Networks providing child-directed requests:

        • AdMmob

        • Google AdManager (DFP)

        • AdX

        • Digital Turbine (AdColony)

        • AppLovin

        • AppLovin MAX

        • Criteo SDK

        • IronSource

        • Verve (PubNative)

        • Smaato

        • Unity

        • Vungle

      • Networks that will be skipped:

        • Amazon HB

        • Xandr (AppNexus)

        • Bluestack (Madvertise)

        • Facebook

        • FeedAd

        • InMobi

        • Ogury

        • Equativ (SmartAdServer)

        • Teads

        • YOC

    • API: public static func setIsChildDirected(_ isChildDirected: Bool)

    • Usage: AATSDK.setIsChildDirected(true)

  • Provide impression-level revenue data via the AATImpression object

    • Add currencyCode and precision properties to the AATImpression object.

    • If the ad network provides impression-level revenue data, AATKit will use this information during the AATImpression instantiation and pass it to AATImpressionDelegate via the func didCountImpression(placement: AATPlacement?, _ impression: AATImpression) callback. Otherwise, AATKit will detect and collect the impression-level information internally and provide it to the impression delegate via the same func didCountImpression(placement: AATPlacement?, _ impression: AATImpression) callback.

    • Currently, only Google Mobile Ads supports impression-level revenue data.

  • Introduce new banner placement type: AATAutoLoadBannerPlacement and AATAutoLoadMultiSizeBannerPlacement which are based on AATBannerCache. They are intended to replace both AATStickyBannerPlacement and AATMultiSizeBannerPlacement hence, they have exactly the same functionality and provide the same APIs.

    • Creating the placement:

      • Swift: var placement = AATSDK.createAutoLoadBannerPlacement(name: "<PLACEMENT_NAME>", size: .banner320x50)

      • Objective-C: id<AATStickyBannerPlacement> placement = [AATSDK createStickyBannerPlacementWithName:@"<PLACEMENT_NAME>" size:AATBannerPlacementSizeBanner300x50];

    • Public Interfaces:

      • AATAutoLoadBannerPlacement

@objc public protocol AATAutoLoadBannerPlacement: AATPlacement {
    /// Set the placement delegate that will listen to ad loading and display events
    var delegate: AATAutoLoadBannerPlacementDelegate? { get set }
    /// Sets the placement statistics delegate
    var statisticsDelegate: AATStatisticsDelegate? { get set }
    /// Sets the placement impression delegate
    var impressionDelegate: AATImpressionDelegate? { get set }
    /// Sets the targeting information for the placement
    var targetingInfo: [String: [String]]? { get set }
    /// Sets the content targeting url for the placement.
    var contentTargetingUrl: String? { get set }

    /// Start the automatic reloading of the placement
    func startAutoReload()

    /// Stop the automatic reloading of the placement
    func stopAutoReload()

    /// Returns true if there is an ad loaded for given placement.
    func hasAd() -> Bool

    /// Returns placement view. Works only for banner placements.
    func getPlacementView() -> UIView?

    /// Sets placement default image. This image will be shown in placement when no ad is available.
    func setDefaultImage(image: UIImage)

    /// Sets gravity for ads that don't fill entire placement area. Works only for sticky banner placements.
    func setBannerAlign(alignment: AATBannerAlign)
}

  • AATAutoLoadMultiSizeBannerPlacement

@objc public protocol AATAutoLoadMultiSizeBannerPlacement: AATPlacement {
    /// Set the placement delegate that will listen to ad loading and display events
    var delegate: AATAutoLoadMultiSizeBannerPlacementDelegate? { get set }
    /// Sets the placement statistics delegate
    var statisticsDelegate: AATStatisticsDelegate? { get set }
    /// Sets the placement impression delegate
    var impressionDelegate: AATImpressionDelegate? { get set }
    /// Sets the targeting information for the placement
    var targetingInfo: [String: [String]]? { get set }
    /// Sets the content targeting url for the placement.
    var contentTargetingUrl: String? { get set }

    /// Start the automatic reloading of the placement
    func startAutoReload()

    /// Stop the automatic reloading of the placement
    func stopAutoReload()
}

First beta of AATKit 3

AATKit 3 comes with the following improvements:

  • New object-oriented APIs for all placement types.

  • Each placement now uses a separate delegate (as opposed to general delegate used by AATKit 2), informing about placement events like ad load, pause for ad etc.

  • Some method names have changed for improved consistency across platforms.

  • The name of the public interface has changed from AATKit to AATSDK.

  • AATKit 3 is M1 compatible, hence ad networks not supporting M1 are removed until they support M1:

    • ironSource

To learn more about the changes, please refer to our AATKit 3 Migration Guide.
