Admob Interstitial Ad breaks AirPlay background mode

[Anton K]

I added Admob Interstitial Ad to my iOS App and found a strange problem. In the application I play video content. I use standard AVPlayer with a standard interface. This interface has an AirPlay button. If I turn on the video and then the AirPlay session, the video goes to Apple TV. If I minimize the application, the video on the Apple TV stops playing.

    override func viewDidLoad() {

            super.viewDidLoad()
            
            self.createPlayer()
            
            self.interstitial = self.createAndLoadInterstitial()
    }

If I comment this string: 

    //self.interstitial = self.createAndLoadInterstitial()

I do not have such problem, video continues to play. And problem is reproduced even before showing interstitial ad. Also I watched a strange situation, after hiding app instead of Apple TV home screen I saw a first frame of interstitial ad with a hung loading indicator. Problem is not reproduced with test unit, it seems because test ad has static image.

    func createAndLoadInterstitial() -> GADInterstitial {
            // test unit has static image, no problem with test unit, problem is reproduced only with real video ads.
            interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910")
            interstitial.delegate = self
            interstitial.load(GADRequest())
            return interstitial
        }

Hello Anton,

Currently the SDK does not support serving ads in Apple TV apps.

Hello, my app is for iOS only, but any video iOS app supports AirPlay. Problem occurs when I use AirPlay session inside iOS app. Admob ad breaks AirPlay session when I hide app. If I disable Admob ads, problem doesn't occur.
