Deprecation schedule
An IMA SDK version is supported for 12 months after its successor's release.
Afterwards, the older version is deprecated.
The differences between a supported and deprecated version are as
follows:
| Supported |
Deprecated |
- Bugs will be investigated.
- Bug fixes will be deployed in the latest SDK.
- Questions on the developer forum will be answered by the support team.
|
- Ad serving is not guaranteed to work.
- If there are app-crashing bugs in the version, we
will sunset ad serving for that version.
- Questions on the developer forum will not be answered by the support team.
|
Developers are encouraged to include the latest IMA SDK each time they release
their app to avoid the deprecation dates. The latest SDK's deprecation date
doesn't get set until a newer SDK is released, so even apps with a 1-year
release cycle can always stay on a supported SDK.
The current deprecation schedule is as follows:
