# SKAdNetwork 2.2 release notes

A version of SKAdNetwork available in iOS 14.5 and later.

## Discussion

Use `“2.2”` as the version number when signing ads for this version.

Ad networks are eligible to receive a version 2.2 postback if all three of the following conditions are met:

- The source app generates a signature for version 2.2.
- The source app is built with iOS 14.5 SDK or later.
- The advertised app is App Store-signed and running on a device with iOS 14.5 or later.

### New features

New features include:

- You can now create view-through ads using the new APIs [`SKAdImpression`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKAdImpression) , [`startImpression(_:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKAdNetwork/startImpression(_:completionHandler:)), and [`endImpression(_:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKAdNetwork/endImpression(_:completionHandler:)).
- You can now indicate whether an ad is a view-through ad or a StoreKit-rendered ad by using the new `fidelity-type` parameter. The `fidelity-type` value is `0` for view-through ads, and `1` for StoreKit-rendered ads. You include this parameter when you sign an ad, and receive it in the postback.

For more information about view-through ads and `fidelity-type`, see [Signing and providing ads](/documentation/StoreKit/signing-and-providing-ads) and [Generating the signature to validate view-through ads](/documentation/StoreKit/generating-the-signature-to-validate-view-through-ads). For more information about the postback, see [Verifying an install-validation postback](/documentation/StoreKit/verifying-an-install-validation-postback).
