On February 1, 2017 , we will implement a new deprecation policy for the IMA SDKs
for iOS and Android . The Flash and HTML5 SDKs are unaffected by this policy
because they are downloaded at runtime, so all developers are always using the
latest version.
Each release will be deprecated 12 months after its successor is
released .
As of February 1, 2017 , the following SDK versions will no longer be supported:
IMA Android prior to version 3.1.3
IMA iOS prior to version 3.1.0
If you are currently on one of these versions, we strongly suggest upgrading to
the latest version before the new policy takes effect.
Once an SDK version is deprecated, we cannot guarantee that version will
continue to work. If we receive reports of crashes related to a deprecated
version of the IMA SDK, we may discontinue serving ads to that version. We will
also no longer field support requests for these versions on the IMA SDK support
forum.
To maintain support, publishers on the latest version of an SDK will have 12
months to move to a new version once its successor is released. To "support" an
SDK means we will investigate bugs in that SDK version and work on fixes. If a
bug fix requires a change to the library itself, the fix will be applied to the
newest version.
For a list of supported SDK versions and their deprecation dates, see the new
deprecation schedule pages for iOS
and Android .
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact us via the support
forum .
