New features and fixes.

4.7.0

Release Date: September 13, 2022

New Features

  • Support for ARM64 simulators. Please note that the Google Cast SDK and Google IMA SDK are not currently supported when running in the ARM64 simulator environment.
  • JWPlayerViewController has a new property: handleCastingInternally. If set to false, a ChromeCast session will not be initialized by the SDK, instead the session must be initialized by the developer. By default, this value is true.
  • The behavior of playback on external devices can be configured or disabled using JWExternalPlaybackSettings. This object can be created using JWExternalPlaybackSettingsBuilder, and set in JWPlayerConfigurationBuilder.
  • Caption rendering can be disabled by setting JWPlayer.suppressesCaptionRendering to true. Caption events are still reported even if rendering is suppressed. By default this value is false.
  • When using JWPlayerViewController, additional controls may be hidden: full screen button, languages button (audio and captions), and the settings button.
  • When using Google IMA, the ad impression event populates the following new information in JWAdImpression: adId, creativeId, and creativeAdId.
