Hi @YuriyVelichkoPI, @mdanylov-sigma please take a look at this issue.

From my understanding, the issue is caused by restarting the creativeVisibilityTracker when WebViewBase.onWindowFocusChanged is called. This clears the visibilityHandler which has a visibility runner in queue. While this issue does not happen on VIDEO interstitial, InterstitialView.onWindowFocusChanged only performs pause/resume on the underlying video. Could we remove AbstractCreative.changeVisibilityTrackerState to make the behavior of display same as video? I am not sure why this issue can not be reproduced on the Medium Phone emulator.

Hi @YuriyVelichkoPI may I know your though on this issue?

Hi @elq81hc ! Sorry for the long silence, have a crazy week.

Yep, it definitely looks like a bug. From the @mdanylov-sigma comment, I supposed that the ticket was considered in the Mobile PMC and prioritized for the work.

Do you know if this bug is actual for iOS?

Hi @YuriyVelichkoPI! Thanks for looking at this issue.

IOS does not face this issue. Tested on device iOS 15.8 and emulator IOS 17.3

BTW, how do I register to join Mobile PMC?

We recently faced this issue as well. I re-assigned this issue to @ValentinPostindustria since he knows the reason and will provide the fix soon.
