2024-02-06
Breaking changes:
The SDK no longer depends directly on GoogleAppMeasurement. To

Firebase and integrate the Google Analytics for Firebase SDK into your
app.
Updated the minimum supported Xcode version to 15.1.
Updated the minimum deployment target to iOS 12.
Updated the minimum OS required to receive ads to iOS 13.
Many previously deprecated APIs have been removed.
Open Measurement: Updated to OM SDK 1.4.10.

UIViewController references for full-screen ads are
now nullable and not required. The SDK uses the app’s main window to
look up view controllers automatically when one is not provided.

when an ad is loaded in one orientation but presented in another.

2023-07-12
Made minor changes to the way
adWillPresentFullScreenContent:,

by delegates for mediated ads. These changes make mediated ads
behave more like first-party ads.
Third-party SDKs that call
adWillPresentFullScreenContent: followed by
adDidDismissFullScreenContent: multiple
times now trigger multiple callbacks, rather than only for the first set
of calls.
When third-party full screen ads fail to present,
ad:didFailToPresentFullScreenContentWithError: is called
instead of adWillPresentFullScreenContent: and
adDidDismissFullScreenContent:.
