[ios] Are ads played in the same player as content

[rmodi]

According to the documentation  - https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/ios/client-side

"Ads play in a separate video player positioned on top of the app's content video player."

However the IMAAVPlayerVideoDisplay object that we pass when we create an IMAAdsRequest seems to say otherwise... from the header file.

/**

 * An implementation of the IMAVideoDisplay protocol. This object is intended

 * to be initialized with the content player, and will reuse the player for

 * playing ads.

 */

Would appreciate a clarification.

Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the IMA SDK Support team.

AdView contains 2 things, one is the Video player and the other one is  Ad control view (timer,learn more.skip button, etc)

The motive is to play all the videos (both content and ad) in one player and the ad controls will show in another view so the IMAAVPlayerVideoDisplay will reuse the player for playing ads as mentioned in the documentation.

It appears that there is no issue with the usage hint for IMAAVPlayerVideoDisplay. This is because the controller allows for the utilization of multiple players along with their respective ads. The description provided indicates that the content player object is necessary for loading ads, which will then reuse the player for the purpose of playing those ads.

This message is in relation to case "ref:!00D1U01174p.!5004Q02vGK03:ref" (ADR-00268662)

Thanks,
