Fixes nullpointerexception when adTagURL is
null in
IMAAdsRequest.
Changes
asset-level fallback
logic to iterate through all ads in the original VAST until the SDK
identifies a playable creative. If no playable creative is found,
the ad isn't played.
Fixes issue where tracking pings to ad.doubleclick.net
were not being fired.
Sets the SDK's ad size rendering constraints based on the view frame
instead of the safe area layout guide for the playerView.

2024-04-03
Adds a privacy manifest PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file and a signature for the SDK.
Added support for the "language_name" key for stream subtitles.
Fixed an issue that caused audio-only ads to timeout.
Fixed an issue where skipping the first ad in a preroll would cause the second ad to ignore its own skip offset.
Added IMAAdDisplayContainer.focusEnvironment, which allows
publishers to transfer focus to SDK during ad breaks. This is required
whenever the user needs to interact with the ad UI
(e.g. skippables, VAST icons).
Added viewController as a new required initialization argument or property for IMAAdDisplayContainer.
Fixed non-English localization support.
Reduced erroneous RESUME events.
Added IMAAdsRenderingSettings.enablePreloading, which is
enabled by default, to improve ad rendering performance.
Added support for skippable ads (client-side and VOD) and VAST icons
(client-side and DAI)
Added the ICON_FALLBACK_IMAGE_CLOSED and
ICON_TAPPED events. We recommend automatically resuming on
ICON_FALLBACK_IMAGE_CLOSED since the SDK pauses on fallback
image open.
Fixed an issue where the IABTCF_gdprApplies was only
acknowledged if it was a string.
