Hi team,
reproducible in Mobile Ads SDK (iOS) version 11.6.0 (also in earlier versions as well)

after calling mraid.expand() and ad expands,
exposureChange emits an event with the exposedPercentage value being 0.
Which is not correct, should be 100 since the ad is still in view.

Works as expected on Android.

Min example code:

<button id="btn"> Expand </button>
<div id="output"></div>
<script src='mraid.js'></script>
<script>
    var btn = document.querySelector('#btn');
    var output = document.querySelector('#output');

    mraid.addEventListener('ready', function() {
        mraid.addEventListener('exposureChange', function(exposedPercentage) {
            output.innerHTML += 'ExposureChange: ' + exposedPercentage + ' ';
        });
    });

    btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
        mraid.expand();
    });

    document.querySelector('body').style.background = 'yellow';
</script>

Thanks,
Gregor

Hi Gregor,

Thank you for contacting us.

As per IAB MRAID page documentation An exposedPercentage value of 0.0 (zero) indicates the current ad container is not in view or has been moved to the background.

In order to check the creative behavior we need a issue reproducible project. Kindly provide us a sample project replicating the issue.

If the file(s) you are looking to share are less than 25mb in total you can attach them to this case on your next reply. If you are having trouble attaching your file to this case or if your file(s) are larger than 25mb, you can share your files with me by performing the following steps:

1. Navigate to

Hi,

thank you for further instructions.

Uploaded sample project through the form.

It can be seen that after the Expand button is clicked and the ad expands, it outputs exposureChange with value 0.

Thanks

Hi Gregor,

I have checked the sample project and the HTML creative associated with the ad unit, and I'm able to reproduce the mentioned issue. Before raising this concern to the wider team could you please call the getState() function and confirm the state of the ad returned by the getState()?

Also do confirm whether you are facing this issue only with this HTML sample creative? If possible kindly provide a scenario with a live HTML sample creative.

Hi,

if you would like to test the correctness of getState() function feel free to do so, but no matter what it returns, doesn't change the fact that exposureChange is emitting the wrong value. Testing any other function is work for your team.

Yes, it occurs in live creatives, where it is causing a couple of issues:
- Viewable time of the ad (that we measure) is wrong, because exposureChange with the value of zero is saying that the ad is no longer in view.
- We pause videos and animations if exposureChange emits zero, as the ad is considered out of view. On iOS now it means that ad experience is severely degraded, because videos and animations are not playing even when the ad is viewable.

(When working correctly) exposureChange with a value of zero should mean that the ad was either scrolled away in the app, the user switched to another app, closed the whole app, turned off the phone screen, etc. (Just repeating what is also stated in MRAID specs for exposureChange).

Thanks,
Gregor
