The latest JWP iOS SDK update includes several enhancements and bug fixes to improve functionality and user experience. New features such as a privacy manifest, enhanced Chromecast support, and customizable UI transitions are introduced. Updates to SDK dependencies and various bug fixes are also detailed below.

New Features

• JWP iOS SDK contains a privacy manifest file (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) and a signature for the SDK.
• Chromecast now supports sending JSON data to custom receiver apps, enabling multiple use cases, including the ability to cast Widevine DRM-protected content.
• Custom fullscreen transitions can be set for applications.
• JWPlayerSkin properties, such as descriptionIsVisible and titleIsVisible properties, can be changed during media playback without reconfiguring the player.
  
  Example:
  self.jwpvc.styling = try? JWPlayerSkinBuilder()  
    .titleIsVisible(false)
    .descriptionIsVisible(false)
    .build()
  
  
• The iOS SDK dependencies have been updated: IMA to 3.22.0, Google Cast to 4.8.1, and OMID to 1.4.12.
• A protocol allowing initialization from a prototype for builders has been implemented, simplifying object replication.
  
  Example: Create a copy of a preroll in the postroll slot that retains the properties of the preroll.
  
  let myPostroll = try! JWAdBreakBuilder(from: myPrerollJsonObject)
    .offset(.postroll())
    .build()

Bug Fixes

• To improve the user experience, UI controls are hidden during fullscreen animation transitions.
• The ObjC file not included warning no longer appears.
• In the FeedTableView best practice app, scrolling in the FeedTableView occurs only in portrait orientation.
• JWPlayerSkinBuilder().descriptionIsVisible(false) now hides the description.
• The adTagParameters specified via JWGoogleDAIStreamBuilder are respected.
