VAST-3.0-icon-xposition
<Icon> missing required xPosition attribute
ErrorRequired fieldsIAB VAST 3.0 §2.4.5VAST 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3
Short answer
xPosition is required on <Icon> in VAST 3.0+.
Why this matters in production
This rule is usually a delivery blocker. Many players, SDKs, and ad servers will discard the response or skip the affected creative once this condition is hit. Required-field failures usually stop validation early because the platform cannot determine the basic shape of the ad, the creative metadata, or the mandatory tracking payload. Affected scope: VAST 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.
How to fix
Add xPosition="right" or xPosition="left" (or a pixel value) to <Icon>.
