IMA SDK client-side

The Google IMA SDK (Interactive Media Ads) lets you load in-stream video and

audio ads into websites, apps, TVs and other digital platforms. Use an IMA SDK

to request ads from any VAST-compliant ad server and manage ad playback.

Prerequisites

Before integrating the IMA SDK, you must read the platform-specific guide

below to support all platforms that your app can support:

• Web/HTML5/ReactJs/NodeJs/Angular: Read all these guides

[ima-sdk-web-guide.md](references/ima-sdk-web-guide.md),

[ima-sdk-web-iframe-mode.md](references/ima-sdk-web-iframe-mode.md),

[ima-sdk-web-mobile-safari.md](references/ima-sdk-web-mobile-safari.md)

• Android/AndroidTV/ReactNative: Read [ima-sdk-android-guide.md](references/ima-sdk-android-guide.md)
• iOS/tvOS/ReactNative: Read all these guides

[ima-sdk-ios-guide.md](references/ima-sdk-ios-guide.md),

[ima-sdk-tvos-guide.md](references/ima-sdk-tvos-guide.md)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quick start (general workflow)

1. Import the SDK: Prerequisites, dependencies.
2. Initialization: Early setup, Warmup, Settings Configuration, and Ad UI

Setup.

1. Ad Request: Creating and triggering the request, User gesture compliance.
2. Ad Load Success/Failure: Handling the load event to get the AdsManager, or

handling early fatal errors.

1. Ad Playback Events: Listening to playback events via AdsManager to

coordinate content play/pause, and handling non-fatal LOG events and fatal

active playback errors.

1. Cleanup: Properly destroying the AdsManager to release resources and prevent

memory leaks.

For detailed, platform-specific implementation details, always refer to the

guides in the Prerequisites section.
