Thanks for your patience. Just to provide an update, the change referenced above migrates our dev-v2 branch to IMA SDK 3.18.1 (thanks @andrewlewis !). We’re still working on a couple of issues with the migration, including one stuck playback problem, but are hoping to get these cleaned up and into a release over the coming weeks.

Understood. I’m actively working on this at the moment. Some more details: until recently we were focused on rolling out the server-side component of this (new ads managers) and then addressing backwards compatibility issues that came up from those changes. Then there was an ExoPlayer bug with ad playbacks with protected content getting stuck (#7188). Currently I’m working on a remaining issue where AdsMediaSource doesn’t release its child sources, and then focusing on dealing with the API changes for this dependency update (this is non-trivial as there is new preloading behavior and new requirements for signaling when ads are loaded, for example).
