If your Flutter application is intended for kids, you must follow the policies of Apple and Google. If you’re using the Adapty SDK, a few simple steps will help you configure it to meet these policies and pass app store reviews.

What’s required?

You need to configure the Adapty SDK to disable the collection of:

• IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) (iOS)
• Android Advertising ID (AAID/GAID) (Android)
• IP address

In addition, we recommend using customer user ID carefully. User ID in format <FirstName.LastName> will be definitely treated as gathering personal data as well as using email. For Kids Mode, a best practice is to use randomized or anonymized identifiers (e.g., hashed IDs or device-generated UUIDs) to ensure compliance.

Enabling Kids Mode

Updates in the Adapty Dashboard

In the Adapty Dashboard, you need to disable the IP address collection. To do this, go to App settings and click Disable IP address collection under Collect users’ IP address.

Updates in your mobile app code

In order to comply with policies, disable the collection of the user’s IDFA (for iOS), GAID/AAID (for Android), and IP address.

Android: Update your SDK configuration

try {
    await Adapty().activate(
        configuration: AdaptyConfiguration(apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY')
          ..withGoogleAdvertisingIdCollectionDisabled(true)  // set to `true`
          ..withIpAddressCollectionDisabled(true),  // set to `true`
    );
} catch (e) {
    // handle the error
}

iOS: Enable Kids Mode in SDK v4

In SDK v4, use the adapty_flutter_kids package instead of adapty_flutter in your pubspec.yaml. It is a Kids Mode variant of the plugin with the same public API and the same version — the only difference is that its native iOS SDK is built with the KidsMode trait:

dependencies:
  adapty_flutter_kids: 4.0.0

Your Dart code stays the same — only update the import to the new package name:

import 'package:adapty_flutter_kids/adapty_flutter.dart';

iOS: Enable Kids Mode using CocoaPods (SDK v3)

1. Update your Podfile:

   • If you don’t have a post_install section, add the entire code block below.
   • If you do have a post_install section, merge the highlighted lines into it.

   def adapty_enable_kids_mode(installer)
     installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
       next unless target.name == 'Adapty'
       target.build_configurations.each do |config|
         flags = config.build_settings['OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS'] || '$(inherited)'
         flags = flags.join(' ') if flags.is_a?(Array)
         config.build_settings['OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS'] = "#{flags} -DADAPTY_KIDS_MODE"
       end
       target.frameworks_build_phase.files.dup.each do |bf|
         target.frameworks_build_phase.remove_build_file(bf) if bf.display_name.to_s.include?('AdSupport')
       end
     end
     installer.pods_project.save
     Dir.glob(File.join(installer.sandbox.root, 'Target Support Files', '**', '*.xcconfig')).each do |xc|
       File.write(xc, File.read(xc).gsub(/\s*-framework\s+"?AdSupport"?/, ''))
     end
   end
   
   post_install do |installer|
     # ... keep your existing post_install body (Flutter adds one automatically) ...
   
     adapty_enable_kids_mode(installer)   # <-- enable Adapty Kids Mode
   end

2. Apply the changes by running

   pod install
