What does this change?

  • Removes AdPortals component from InteractiveLayout.
  • Prevents AdPlaceholderElements from being inserted into Apps Interactive articles (renderingTarget === 'Apps' && format.design === ArticleDesign.Interactive)

This prevents ads from being inserted on apps for interactive articles.

Why?

The visuals team often have problems displaying ads on interactive articles in the apps.
In general, apps users tend to be premium users since the sign in gate prevents non premium users from viewing articles after a certain number of articles read. Ads are often disabled on these pieces in general and do not appear on web.
Preventing this happening is the most straightforward thing to do for now until we have a more robust solution
