BlueStackSDK 5.2.0 — Interstitial Preloading Is Here!
We're are releasing BlueStackSDK version 5.2.0 on Android and iOS, focusing on a significant enhancement to how we handle interstitial ad delivery. This update introduces preloading for both static (HTML) and VAST/Video interstitial ad formats. This has been implemented without any changes to our public API.
Understanding the Change
In v5.2.0, we've integrated preloading mechanism. This means the SDK now attempts to fetch and prepare interstitial ad assets in the background so that your ad content becomes ready before you show the ad.
Key Technical Benefits
-
Reduced Display Latency: By having the ad creative and its necessary resources (HTML, video assets, etc.) already downloaded and parsed, the time from calling show to the ad being presented is significantly minimized. This is particularly noticeable for video-based interstitial ads, where buffering can be an issue.
-
Enhanced Reliability in Variable Network Conditions: If a user temporarily experiences a network dip, the ad may already be loaded and ready, preventing a failed display or a prolonged loading spinner.
Impact on Your Implementation
The most important takeaway for developers is that no changes are required to your existing BlueStackSDK integration. Our public APIs remain consistent. You simply need to update your SDK dependency to v5.2.0. The preloading logic is entirely encapsulated within the SDK.
BlueStackSDK v5.2.0 is a performance-focused update designed to deliver seamless and reliable ad experience without introducing any integration complexities.
