JW Player has just released v4.7.0 for the iOS SDK. The notes for this release appear below. If you have any questions about a release note, please contact your JWP representative.

New Releases

• Support for ARM64 simulators. Note that the Google Cast SDK and Googel IMA SDK are not 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.
