## Overview
- v12.1.1 (13 October 2026): updates the Android core SDK from 12.0.2 to 12.1.1 and the iOS core SDK from 11.7.1 to 11.8.0 with unchanged host requirements, adds the Android-only Clips `bottomBannerFetchMode` (`justInTime` default, `prefetch` prepares the next Clip's bottom banner), adds the `player.clips.modal` full-screen Clips layout theme on both platforms, applies OpenType font features configured in the CMS to Card heading, subheading and button title fonts on both platforms (bundle the fonts the CMS refers to; Android resolves them from `res/font`), and fixes Android Embedded Clips IMA pre-roll countdown and Skip controls being misplaced after the device rotates during the ad when the host Activity handles orientation changes itself.
- v12.1.1 behavior changes from the updated native SDKs, with no integration changes: completed Stories and Clips instructions stay dismissed after login, logout and user changes; Clips opened from Search show navigation categories on both platforms; Android Clips Like and Share counts show full numbers below 1,000, `1k` at 1,000 and the API-provided label above 1,000.
- v12.0.2 (23 September 2026): host `mute()` / `unmute()` for Stories and full-screen/embedded Clips on both platforms; await mute before presentation for silent first playback. Updates Android core SDK from 12.0.1 to 12.0.2 and iOS core SDK from 11.7.0 to 11.7.1. Rebuild native projects; host requirements are unchanged.
- v12.0.1 (17 September 2026) updates the Android core SDK from 11.5.1 to 12.0.1 and iOS core SDK from 11.5.0 to 11.7.0, compared with published RN 11.5.0. Android requires Kotlin 2.1.0 and Compose BOM 2026.06.01, retaining API 24. It adds cadence/theme controls, analytics, ad-request `contentId`, and optional tile-tap title, index and metadata on both platforms.
- v12.0.1 also adds multi-module ads configuration and family-scoped disable APIs, atomic followed-category replacement, cross-platform Search/Clips theme parity, native GAM request enrichment hooks, optional iOS category descriptions, Android `ItemInfo.contentId`, and observable late Android programmatic Clips-open failures.
- In v12.0.1, iOS VAST setup preserves configured GAM or AdMob modules. Apps that relied on the previous VAST-only replacement must explicitly disable the Google ads family before setting up VAST.
- v11.5.0 adds the optional VAST package, GAM/AdMob and Clips ad configuration, broad core/native API parity, complete native analytics types, expanded themes, and native iOS 11.5.0/Android 11.5.1 dependencies.
- v11.5.0 also moves Android artifacts to Maven Central, improves theme image/font handling, and fixes iOS GAM responses, Android custom sharing, and iOS Clips list dismissal/scroll behavior.
- v11.2.1 fixes Storyteller Card playback on Android and updates Android core SDK 11.2.2 → 11.2.3. v11.2.0 updates Android core SDK 10.13.9 → 11.2.2 and iOS core SDK 10.13.4 → 11.2.0, with matching wrapper API changes.
- v11.0.10 resolves a card height race condition; 11.0.9 fixes card sizing, 11.0.8 addresses an RN→Android lifecycle crash, and 11.0.7 resolves an Android analytics crash.
- v11.0.6 adds Expo 54 support, while 11.0.5–11.0.4 align APIs with native SDKs and fix Android OOM plus Expo plugin exports.
- v11.0.3–11.0.1 add Compose host consolidation, Embedded Clips fixes, modular header support, and new Expo config plugin options.
- v11.0.0 is the New Architecture release: Fabric/Turbo only, promise-based APIs, new components (Cards, Home, Embedded Clips upgrades), analytics/event updates, For You/Following flows, GAM native ads, and theming updates.
- 10.x releases document Expo enablement, new list configuration objects, followable categories, gradient-border theming, analytics changes, and multiple bug fixes for Android builds.
## When To Use
- You need to understand what changed between Storyteller SDK versions before upgrading.
- You are investigating whether a fix (e.g., card sizing, analytics crash, Expo compatibility) has already shipped.
## Integration Steps
1. Locate your current SDK version and read every entry above it to capture breaking changes, new features, and fixes you will inherit.
1. Follow linked docs (Migration, Ads, Themes, Embedded Clips) when an entry references additional configuration or feature behavior.
1. After upgrading, test the features specifically mentioned in the new version (e.g., Cards layout, analytics events, Expo plugin) on both iOS and Android.
## API Cheat Sheet
- `No runtime SDK APIs.` Use the linked feature docs for exact API signatures introduced in each release.
## Examples
- Use the 11.0.0 notes to guide New Architecture migrations (promise-based APIs, component additions).
- Refer to the 10.7.0 entry when enabling Followable Categories, GAM ads, or gradient tile borders—it lists the precise doc sections to read.
## Pitfalls / Notes
- Historical iOS entries using `~>` describe CocoaPods requirements, not exact resolved versions. Android/iOS native versions can differ from each other and from the RN version.
- 11.0.0 and later require React Native New Architecture; legacy setups must stay on 10.x until migrated.
- Read each release's Native SDK updates section for verified core dependency changes. Wrapper fixes do not necessarily change native SDK versions. Rebuild native projects after upgrading the RN package.
- v11.5.0 publishes core, GAM, and VAST npm packages in lockstep; install the optional VAST package only when using the VAST integration.

## Canonical Reference
# Changelog
## 12.1.1 - 13/10/26
### Native SDK updates
Compared with RN 12.0.2:
- Android core SDK: `12.0.2` → `12.1.1`. See the [Android release notes](https://docs.getstoryteller.com/android/Changelog/).
- iOS core SDK: `11.7.1` → `11.8.0`. See the [iOS release notes](https://docs.getstoryteller.com/ios/Changelog/).
- Existing Android Kotlin `2.1.0`, Compose BOM `2026.06.01` and minimum API 24 requirements, and the iOS 15.1 minimum, are unchanged. Rebuild your native app after upgrading.
### New Features
- Added the optional Android-only `bottomBannerFetchMode` to `StorytellerClipsAdConfiguration`. Set it to `StorytellerBottomBannerFetchMode.prefetch` to prepare the next Clip's bottom banner while the current Clip plays; omitted values keep the existing just-in-time behavior. See [Android bottom banner fetch mode](Ads.md#android-bottom-banner-fetch-mode).
- Added `player.clips.modal` to the theme for the full-screen Clips Player on Android and iOS: draw video behind the status bar and set metadata and progress spacing, progress position and size, gradient heights, navigation size and insets, and the Search icon. Omitted values keep the existing layout, and Embedded Clips are unaffected. See [Modal Clips layout](Themes.md#modal-clips-layout).
- Cards now apply OpenType font features, such as `ss02`, configured in the CMS to the heading, subheading and button title on Android and iOS. Bundle the fonts the CMS refers to; if a requested font can't be found, the Card uses your theme font without the features. See [Fonts from the CMS](StorytellerCardView.md#fonts-from-the-cms).
### Behavior changes
These changes come from the updated native SDKs and need no integration changes.
- Completed Stories and Clips instructions now stay dismissed on Android and iOS, including after login, logout and user changes.
- Clips opened from Search now show their navigation categories on Android and iOS. Tapping a category opens its Latest Clips, and viewers can go back to the previous Clip and their Search results.
- On Android, Clips Like and Share counts show the full number below 1,000, `1k` at 1,000 and the label provided by the API above 1,000.
### Bug fixes
- Fixed Android Embedded Clips IMA pre-roll countdown and Skip controls being drawn in the wrong place, such as the top-right of the player, after the device rotates during the ad while the host Activity handles orientation changes itself.
## 12.0.2 - 23/09/26
### Native SDK updates
Compared with RN 12.0.1:
- Android core SDK: `12.0.1` → `12.0.2`. See the [Android release notes](https://docs.getstoryteller.com/android/Changelog/).
- iOS core SDK: `11.7.0` → `11.7.1`. See the [iOS release notes](https://docs.getstoryteller.com/ios/Changelog/).
- These native versions provide the host audio controls below. Existing Android Kotlin/Compose and minimum OS requirements are unchanged. Rebuild your native app after upgrading.
### New Features
- Added `StorytellerSdk.mute()` and `unmute()` for Stories and full-screen or embedded Clips on iOS and Android. Await mute after initialization and before presenting content to start silently; runtime commands keep video playing and follow existing audio controls and persistence.
## 12.0.1 - 17/09/26
### Native SDK updates
Compared with RN 11.5.0, the previous published release:
- Android core SDK: `11.5.1` → `12.0.1`. See the [Android release notes](https://docs.getstoryteller.com/android/Changelog/).
- iOS core SDK: `11.5.0` → `11.7.0`. See the [iOS release notes](https://docs.getstoryteller.com/ios/Changelog/).
- Android hosts require Kotlin `2.1.0` and Compose BOM `2026.06.01`; the minimum Android API remains 24. Follow the [v11 to v12 migration guide](getting-started/migration-v11-to-v12.md) before upgrading.
### New Features
- Added Android Clips ad cadence overrides (`frequency`, `initialIndex`), sheet corner radius, Embedded Clips video sizing, rectangular-tile title gradients, instruction button typography and ordered gradient stops.
- Added heartbeat, organic quartile and Search-result analytics events and their optional payload fields.
- On Android, opening a Storyteller deep link while a player is open replaces the active player.
- Added iOS mapping for sheet corner radius, Embedded Clips video sizing, rectangular-tile title gradients, ordered gradient stops and the new optional analytics fields.
- Added optional title, one-based tile index and nullable metadata to Stories/Clips row and grid tile-tap callbacks on both platforms.
- Added optional `contentId` to iOS core, GAM and VAST ad-request payloads.
- Added awaitable `StorytellerSdk.setFollowedCategories(categories)` support for atomically replacing the full app-managed followed-category set.
- Added cross-platform theme parity for complete Search styling and Clips gradients, typography, progress-bar placement/colours, Embedded spacing, and light custom fonts.
- Added native GAM request enrichment hooks on iOS and Android so APS, Nimbus, or equivalent bidder work can update a prepared Google request before Storyteller loads it without passing Google objects through JavaScript.
- Added the optional Android-only `@getstoryteller/react-native-storyteller-sdk-ima` package for one initial Clips IMA pre-roll, with GAM-built or complete-tag setup, request-specific callbacks, and optional load timeouts.
- Added Android standard between-Clips provider ordering for VAST, GAM, and AdMob across imperative, Embedded, Row, and Grid Clips presentations, plus Dev Zone configuration and validation controls.
### Behavior changes
- On iOS, `setupVASTModule` and `setupGAMVASTModule` now preserve configured GAM or AdMob modules instead of replacing the complete Storyteller module list. Apps that relied on the previous VAST-only result should call `disableGoogleAdsModule()` before setting up VAST.
### Improvements
- Added independent GAM/AdMob and VAST/GAM VAST module-family configuration, public family-scoped disable APIs, predictable multi-module ordering, and Showcase Dev Zone controls for validating supported combinations.
- Updated the bundled Meta mediation adapter for Google Mobile Ads 23 compatibility and fixed Android gradients to honor `startPosition` and `endPosition` while retaining the previous top-left to bottom-right defaults when positions are omitted.
- Added optional `contentId` values to Android core, GAM, and VAST `ItemInfo` ad-request payloads.
- Added optional iOS category descriptions to category-follow payloads when supplied by the native SDK.
- Updated iOS theme colour parsing to honor the alpha byte in `#AARRGGBB`; existing 8-digit colours now render with their configured translucency instead of being forced opaque.
### Bug fixes
- Added `StorytellerSdk.onPlayerOpenFailed` so Android errors reported after a programmatic Clips open request is accepted remain observable instead of attempting to reject an already-resolved Promise.
## 11.5.0 - 16/07/26
### Native SDK updates
Compared with RN 11.2.1:
- Android core SDK: `11.2.3` → `11.5.1`. See the [Android release notes](https://docs.getstoryteller.com/android/Changelog/).
- iOS core SDK: `11.2.0` → `11.5.0`. See the [iOS release notes](https://docs.getstoryteller.com/ios/Changelog/).
### New Features
- Added the optional `@getstoryteller/react-native-storyteller-sdk-vast` package, with generic VAST and GAM VAST setup, dynamic request-parameter callbacks, and diagnostics events.
- Added GAM Clips bottom-banner configuration and AdMob setup through `setupAdMobModule`, including native, banner fallback, bottom-banner, custom KVP, and banner-priority options.
- Expanded the core SDK API with player visibility and mute helpers, nullable locale clearing, deep-link naming aliases, Android Clips preloading and category count helpers, custom attribute replacement, followed-category helpers and catalog access, custom share handling, and client-supplied ad completion/failure methods.
- Added optional `StorytellerClipsAdConfiguration` to imperative Clips collection opening and Embedded Clips, allowing individual presentations to opt into pre-roll and bottom-banner placements while preserving native defaults when omitted.
- Expanded user-activity analytics to the current native event and payload surface, including tile visibility, mute/captions, search, sheet, card, ad lifecycle/revenue, SDK initialization, and followable-category events.
- Expanded theme support for player icons and Clips controls, Clips like-button Lottie animations, card audio icons, poll image gradients, followable-category gestures, and list player-open behavior.
### Improvements
- Android artifacts now resolve from Maven Central instead of the legacy Storyteller CloudRepo/MyGet repository.
- Normalized global and per-view React Native image resources before native theme conversion and added Android drawable/resource support for custom player imagery.
- Improved Android custom-font reuse by resolving packaged `res/font` families, caching equivalent native themes, and avoiding redundant theme application during React renders.
- Aligned `DataLoadCompletedEvent` with all component payloads: list and Card callbacks include `dataCount`, while Embedded Clips may omit it.
### Bug fixes
- Fixed iOS GAM ad-unit requests so combined and Clips bottom-banner ads can await JavaScript responses without blocking the main thread.
- Fixed Android custom share handling so `shareButtonTapped` reaches the React Native listener.
- Restored native Clips list player ownership so viewed state refreshes after dismissal without resetting the iOS More-grid scroll position.
