Starting with Player iOS SDK 3.131.0, the Bitmovin Advertising Module can load, play and track VMAP ad tags. VMAP no longer needs Google IMA on iOS, as on Android.

Usage:

var vmapUrl: URL

let vmapSource = AdSource(tag: vmapUrl, ofType: .bitmovin)
let adItem = AdItem(adSources: [vmapSource])
let playerConfig = PlayerConfig()
playerConfig.advertisingConfig = AdvertisingConfig(schedule: [adItem])

The VMAP document defines the positions of its own breaks, so no position is needed on the AdItem.

Not supported yet: repeatAfter, allowMultipleAds, followRedirects and the #N offset.

React Native SDK: coming with SDK 1.31.0. VMAP then works on both platforms with AdSourceType.BITMOVIN, and IMA is optional since 1.30.0 (Google IMA is now optional in the Bitmovin Player React Native SDK).
