Ads SDK: need to be able to determine size of ads when loading them.

[wy206q]

Feature Request: (SF# 8559)

Background:
Developers using the Ads API have scenarios where they need to know the exact size of an Ad returned from AT&T. Currently there is no way to get this so they are unable to position smaller ads returned correctly in their available ad space when the available ad space is larger than the AT&T ad (which is frequently the case). Additionally they have apps where they very carefully position the ad and wrap it with controls as part of the app experience. They are unable to use AT&T ads in those apps since they don't know the size of the ad.

Even though ads responses contain size info about the ad image, it is not in any publicly exposed property of the ATTAdView, So from a programming standpoint, it is inaccessible. The response is also not accessible, so it also cannot be manually parsed from there. It would helpful if the width/height properties from the JSON response could be exposed as public properties on the ATTAdView or somehow else made accessible.

It would be good to have the ability in both the Android Ads SDK and the iOS Ads SDK.

Hi Yeckel,

To begin with, API should provide a response for the AD size requested. This feature is exposed as a property in the SDK. But if the requested size is not returned then its the inconsistency from the API that needs to be looked at and that is the right solution to go forward.

Exposing/Updating the property for every ads being returned is a temporary solution, Third party developers have to render their canvas area on every reload period(defaults to 60 seconds) is not the right solution.

Request you to circle back with the SDK and API team internally on this to get into a conclusion for this request.
