Endless Loading Issue with VAST Live Ads on Android

[anyarik]

Encountering an issue with endless loading for live VAST-type advertisements from SmartyAds on Android. The ad request returns a 204 status, leading to an infinite ad loading loop. However, the same ad on iOS is processed and does not exhibit endless loading (the request status in the logs also shows as 204).

Snippet of ad configuration:

advertising: {
  adClient: 'vast',
  adSchedule: [
    {
      offset: "00:00:01",
      tag: "https://n1.smartyads.com/?c=v&m=api&res=xml&placementId=2266&bundle=com.flixsnip&us_privacy=1---&coppa=0&lmt=0&dnt=0&gdpr=0&gdpr_consent=%7Bgdpr_consent_534%7D&cust_params=age%3D60-plus%26gender%3Dmale",
    }
  ]
}
