[6.1.0] - 2026-09-29​

Minimum Kotlin Version

The SDK is now built with Kotlin 2.1.0. Apps written in Kotlin need Kotlin 2.0 or higher.

Update your mediation adapters

Rewarded ads from Google (AdMob / Ad Manager) now require bluestack-mediation-google 6.1.0.0 or higher. Update it together with this version.

Added​

  • AppLovin MAX mediation support through the new bluestack-mediation-applovin adapter (banner, interstitial, rewarded and app open ads).
  • BidMachine mediation support through the new bluestack-mediation-bidmachine adapter (banner, interstitial and rewarded ads).
  • Rewarded ads now expire: calling show() on an expired rewarded ad triggers onAdFailedToDisplay with an AdExpiredError. Load a new ad when this happens.

Changed​

  • Reworked how rewarded ads load through BlueStack mediation.
  • Improved viewability measurement for video ads: Open Measurement now uses the verification details provided with each ad.
  • Updated the Open Measurement SDK to 1.6.6.
  • Updated Kotlin to 2.1.0.

Fixed​

  • Fixed an issue where Open Measurement viewability tracking was not properly completed for interstitial ads.
  • Removed a duplicate close button inside video ads; full-screen video ads now show a single close button that respects its configured appearance delay and cannot be tapped during the countdown.

BlueStackSDK v6.0.0 for Unity

[6.0.0] - 2026-09-22​

Major release. Several public C# APIs have been renamed or have shape changes — see the v3.x → v6.0.0 migration guide before upgrading.

Native SDK upgrades​

  • Android: BlueStack Core SDK upgraded to 6.0.7
  • iOS: BlueStack Core SDK upgraded to 6.0.2
  • All mediation adapters (In-App Bidding, Google Mobile Ads, Equativ) upgraded to their v6 counterparts on both platforms

Added​

  • BlueStackAds.SetDebugMode(bool) plus IsDebugModeEnabled and IsInitialized properties
  • InterstitialAd.IsReady and RewardedAd.IsReady
  • BannerAd anchor-based positioning, custom screen-space positioning, masking, and a useSafeArea opt-out
  • BannerAd.OnAdResized event delivering a PreferredBannerSize
  • iOS: the post-build step now removes pod frameworks from the Unity-iPhone linker flags to prevent duplicate linking with UnityFramework when using use_frameworks!

Breaking changes​

  • BlueStackAds.Initialize signature simplified — Settings and the dual init callbacks are removed; a single callback now delivers InitializationStatus
  • RewardedVideoAd renamed to RewardedAd; reward event renamed to OnAdRewardEarned
  • Banner / interstitial / rewarded events unified under the OnAd* convention
  • AdSize is now a mandatory BannerAd constructor parameter and Load() no longer takes one
  • Preference replaced by an immutable RequestOptions; Location is immutable as well
  • Banners require an explicit Show() once the ad has loaded
