On June 1, 2017, Google will cease development of Flash in the IMA SDKs.
This will end support for the IMA SDK for Flash , as well as support for Flash
VPAID ads in the HTML5 SDK. We strongly encourage all publishers still
using the Flash SDK to migrate to the HTML5
SDK . We also strongly encourage advertisers still trafficking Flash VPAID
ads to migrate those ads to JavaScript VPAID.
What does this mean for the Flash SDK?
We will not actively prevent ad serving to the Flash SDK. However, new releases
will stop after June 1st and we will no longer fix bugs or answer support
questions. If ad serving or playback stops working after this date for the Flash
SDK, it will not be fixed. We strongly encourage you to migrate to the HTML5
SDK .
What does this mean for the HTML5 SDK?
We will no longer support Flash VPAID ads in the HTML5 SDK. Flash VPAID ads
served to the HTML5 SDK will not be rendered and the SDK will fire an error. We
strongly encourage you to migrate your Flash VPAID ads to JavaScript VPAID.
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact us via the support
forum .
