Hello.

We found a bug in IMA iOS SDK, they are, if ad support Picture-in-Picture, after the Post-roll advertisement ends, the content that should have finished playing is played.

But if ad don't support Picture-in-Picture, this issue does not occur.

- Details:

* After playing Post-roll ad that supports picture-in-picture, the content is played from the position several seconds before the end.

- Specs:

* Xcode 14.2

* iPhoneXs device (16.1.2)

* IMA iOS SDK version 3.18.4

- Contents:

* Movie : Content in IMA Sample App "AdvancedExample" for iOS

* https://storage.googleapis.com/gvabox/media/samples/stock.mp4

* Ads : IMA Sample Tag

* https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=/124319096/external/ad_rule_samples&ciu_szs=300x250&ad_rule=1&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vmap&unviewed_position_start=1&cust_params=deployment%3Ddevsite%26sample_ar%3Dpremidpostlongpod&cmsid=496&vid=short_tencue&correlator=

- Project:

googleads-ima-ios-client-side-main/Swift/AdvancedExample

- Steps:

1. Create AVPlayer instance with content URL

2. Create AVPlayerLayer instance with AVPlayer instance

3. Create AVPictureInPictureController instance with AVPlayerLayer instance

4. Create IMAAdDisplayContainer instance by "IMAAdDisplayContainer(adContainer: , viewController: )"

5. Create IMAAVPlayerVideoDisplay instance with AVPlayer instance

6. Create IMAPictureInPictureProxy instance with AVPictureInPictureControllerDelegate

7. Create IMAAdsRequest instance using "IMAAdsRequest(adTagUrl:, adDisplayContainer:, avPlayerVideoDisplay:, pictureInPictureProxy:, userContext: )"

8. Create IMAAdsLoader instance with IMAAdsRequest instance

9. If "IMAAdsLoaderDelegate.adsLoader(_ loader: , adsLoadedWith adsLoadedData: )" is called, call "IMAAdsManager.initialize(with: )"

10. If "IMAAdsManagerDelegate.adsManager(_ adsManager: , didReceive event: )" is called and IMAAdEventType is LOADED, call "IMAAdsManager.start()"

11. If "IMAAdsManagerDelegate.adsManagerDidRequestContentPause" is called, call "AVPlayer.pause()"

12. If "IMAAdsManagerDelegate.adsManagerDidRequestContentResume" is called, call "AVPlayer.play()"

We strongly hope that these bugs will be fixed.

Best regards.

I tried replicating the issue on my end and I attached a screen recording of my own testing in this response. Would you be able to confirm if that is the same behavior you are reporting? If not, can you provide a screen recording of the behavior on your end so we can have better illustration of the issue? Kindly also confirm if you are using a real physical device on your end.
