Video content is playing instead of Ad when user enable fullscreen - iOS Safari

See original GitHub issue

I found this issue recently and it was working till last week.

I’m playing video content on iPhone using playsinline property, it starts playing preroll ad video and when the user clicks on the fullscreen button, the video content is playing in fullscreen player instead of video ad.

And when the user exit from full screen, the video ad is playing the background.

Note:

You can replicate the issue by adding “playsinline” attribute in the below example:

https://googleads.github.io/videojs-ima/examples/advanced/

<video id="content_video" class="video-js vjs-default-skin"
            poster = "../posters/bbb_poster.jpg" controls preload="auto"
            width="640" height="360" playsinline muted="muted">
          <source src="//commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4"
              type="video/mp4" ></source>
        </video>

It would be great if anyone can help to fix this issue

Thanks, Tony

We also ran into this problem since IMA was upgraded from 3.353.0 to 3.354.0: https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/html5/v3/history

When using https://imasdk.googleapis.com/prerelease/js/3.353.0/ima3.js and the disableCustomPlaybackForIOS10Plus is set to false, it will use 1 video tag for ad and content playback and the iOS native fullscreen works. When 3.354.0 is used it is using a separate video-tag for ad playback.

@Kiro705 this seems to be a general bug in IMA that was introduced lately. How can this bug be reported to the IMA team?
