Version 3.14.0

13 April 2021

For Apps that have set Auto-Request enabled Placements with AppLovin Instances, we recommend not integrate 3.14.0, as an issue was discovered. SDK version 3.14.1 includes a fix and is scheduled to be released during the week of 3 - 7 May.

  • Waterfall optimization: Caching instances’ “no fill/response'' of a given waterfall to optimize the next waterfall and by so reducing latency and improving the performance of waterfalls with multiple instances
  • Applying auto-request for interstitial and rewarded video ad formats at the moment an ad is being shown to reduce latency between sequential ads display
  • Deprecated 'clearGDPRConsent' API, use GDPRConsentString' API instead
  • More detailed Verizon SDK version info reported in the test suite

Fixed:

  • Workaround for issues with AdMob’s “mute” API (sets ad volume to zero)
  • AdMob test mode not working when IDFA is not available
  • Verizon: wrong handling of modal view callbacks
  • Verizon: UI API called from background thread

Version 3.13.0

17 March 2021

From FairBid SDK version 3.13.0, the FairBid SDK will automatically retry to load the first banners for you. When a banner is requested and you don't get a fill, Fyber adopts a backoff mechanism and retries until we get a fill or you explicitly call the ‘destroy’ method. After the first banner is successfully shown, it continues refreshing as usual.

Improvements:

  • Banners: retry logic on first request (see details above).
  • Support for InMobi as a mediated bidding network. Supporting banner, interstitial, and rewarded ad formats
  • Google AdMob: Adaptive Banners support.
