Google Fixes 5 Bugs in April Pixel Update

As a part of the April Google Pixel update, Google has included several bug fixes that could take care of something that was driving you nuts. There are 5 mentioned fixes and they touch on things like game crashes, missing search bars, and a fix for Quick Share crashing.

This April Pixel update isn’t considered major by any means. We received a Pixel Feature Drop and quarterly build in March, so this one was expected to be on the smaller side. Seeing 5 bug fixes is pretty typical for a non-quarterly update month.

var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || [];

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var mapping = googletag.sizeMapping().
addSize([0, 0], [[250, 250], [300, 100], [300, 250]]).
build();
googletag.defineSlot( ‘/1043061/DL_INJECT1’, [[250,250],[300,100],[300,250],[300,600]], ‘gpt-ad-2276595124735-0’ )
.addService(googletag.pubads()).defineSizeMapping(mapping);
window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers = window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers || {};
const timers = window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers;

timers[‘gpt-ad-2276595124735-0’] = setTimeout( function () {
const id = ‘gpt-ad-2276595124735-0’;
document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( ‘aagam_empty_slot’, {detail: id} ) );
delete ( timers[id] );
}, 1000 );

if ( typeof window.advadsGamHasEmptySlotListener === ‘undefined’ ) {
googletag.pubads().addEventListener( ‘slotRequested’, function ( ev ) {
const id = ev.slot.getSlotElementId();
if ( typeof timers[id] === ‘undefined’ ) {
return;
}
clearTimeout( timers[id] );
timers[id] = setTimeout( function () {
document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( ‘aagam_empty_slot’, {detail: id} ) );
delete ( timers[id] );
}, 2500 );
} );
googletag.pubads().addEventListener( ‘slotResponseReceived’, function ( ev ) {
const id = ev.slot.getSlotElementId();
if ( typeof timers[id] !== ‘undefined’ ) {
clearTimeout( timers[id] );
delete ( timers[id] );
}
if ( ! ev.slot.getResponseInformation() ) {
document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( ‘aagam_empty_slot’, {detail: id} ) );
}
} );
window.advadsGamHasEmptySlotListener = true;
}
