Migrate Adapty Kotlin Multiplatform SDK to v. 4.0

Adapty Kotlin Multiplatform SDK 4.0 (beta) introduces flows and renames the paywall APIs accordingly. The new APIs work with both the new Flow Builder and the existing Paywall Builder — no setup changes are required on the Adapty Dashboard side.

AdaptyPaywallProduct keeps its name — products still belong to a flow, and getPaywallProducts keeps its name too, now taking an AdaptyFlow. The getFlow and getFlowForDefaultAudience methods no longer take a locale parameter. The purchase and profile APIs (makePurchase, restorePurchases, getProfile, identify, updateProfile) and fallbacks via setFallback are unchanged. The onboarding methods still work but are deprecated — see Onboarding API deprecation. Some default behaviors changed — see Default behavior changes.

Installation

v4.0 is a pre-release, so pin the exact version — Gradle does not select pre-release versions through dynamic ranges:

[versions]
adapty-kmp = "4.0.0-beta.1"

[libraries]
adapty-kmp = { module = "io.adapty:adapty-kmp", version.ref = "adapty-kmp" }
adapty-kmp-ui = { module = "io.adapty:adapty-kmp-ui", version.ref = "adapty-kmp" }

The adapty-kmp-ui module is only needed if you render flows and paywalls with the Compose Multiplatform layer (view.present()). See Install Adapty SDK for the full setup.

The underlying native Adapty SDKs are bumped to their 4.x releases on both platforms and are resolved automatically — no build changes are needed. The iOS deployment target stays 15.0, unchanged by this release.

Fetching flows

getPaywall → getFlow

The returned type changes from AdaptyPaywall to AdaptyFlow, and the locale parameter is removed — when you render a flow, the locale is resolved automatically; for custom paywalls, all locales are returned in flow.remoteConfigs:

- Adapty.getPaywall("YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID", locale = "en")
-     .onSuccess { paywall ->
-         // use the paywall
+ Adapty.getFlow("YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID")
+     .onSuccess { flow ->
+         // use the flow
      }
      .onError { error ->
          // handle the error
      }

getPaywallForDefaultAudience is renamed the same way:

- Adapty.getPaywallForDefaultAudience("YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID", locale = "en")
+ Adapty.getFlowForDefaultAudience("YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID")

getPaywallProducts(paywall) → getPaywallProducts(flow)

getPaywallProducts keeps its name but now takes an AdaptyFlow:

- Adapty.getPaywallProducts(paywall)
+ Adapty.getPaywallProducts(flow)
      .onSuccess { products ->
          // use the products
      }

Data model

getFlow returns an AdaptyFlow instead of an AdaptyPaywall, and the object shape changed:

v3 AdaptyPaywall propertyv4 AdaptyFlow propertyAction
remoteConfig: AdaptyRemoteConfig? (single)remoteConfigs: List<AdaptyRemoteConfig>A flow carries one remote config per configured language. Read the one that matches the user: flow.remoteConfigs.firstOrNull { it.locale == "en" }.
(new)paywalls: List<AdaptyFlowPaywall>Each entry is one paywall variation in the flow, with its own name, variationId, and productIdentifiers. The web paywall methods take an AdaptyFlowPaywall — see Web paywall methods.
productIdentifiersmovedProduct identifiers now live on each variation: flow.paywalls[i].productIdentifiers. To fetch products, keep calling getPaywallProducts(flow).
hasViewConfigurationremovedRemove any hasViewConfiguration check from your code — createFlowView returns an error instead (see Displaying flows).

hasViewConfiguration remains on AdaptyOnboarding — only the flow model drops it.

Web paywall methods

openWebPaywall and createWebPaywallUrl keep their names, but the paywall parameter is replaced by a flowPaywall parameter taking an AdaptyFlowPaywall — one of the variations in flow.paywalls. You can still pass an AdaptyPaywallProduct instead:

- Adapty.openWebPaywall(paywall = paywall)
+ flow.paywalls.firstOrNull()?.let { flowPaywall ->
+     Adapty.openWebPaywall(flowPaywall = flowPaywall)
+ }

Tracking flow views

logShowPaywall → logShowFlow

logShowPaywall is renamed to logShowFlow and now takes an AdaptyFlow. The event is still logged against the same variation, so existing funnel and A/B test metrics continue to work without dashboard changes.

- Adapty.logShowPaywall(paywall)
+ Adapty.logShowFlow(flow)

As in v3, you do not need to call this method when displaying flows or paywalls rendered by the Flow Builder or the Paywall Builder — Adapty tracks those views automatically.

Displaying flows

createPaywallView → createFlowView

Rename the factory method and pass the AdaptyFlow. The returned view type is renamed from AdaptyUIPaywallView to AdaptyUIFlowView, but its methods (present, dismiss) and the optional parameters (loadTimeout, preloadProducts, customTags, customTimers, customAssets, productPurchaseParams) are unchanged:

- AdaptyUI.createPaywallView(paywall)
+ AdaptyUI.createFlowView(flow)
      .onSuccess { view ->
          view.present()
      }
      .onError { error ->
          // handle the error
      }

If you don’t use Compose Multiplatform, the native factory method is renamed the same way:

- AdaptyUI.createNativePaywallView(paywall)
+ AdaptyUI.createNativeFlowView(flow)

createFlowView returns an AdaptyResult.Error if the flow has no view configured — this replaces the v3 hasViewConfiguration check:

- if (paywall.hasViewConfiguration) {
-     AdaptyUI.createPaywallView(paywall)
-         .onSuccess { view -> view.present() }
- }
+ AdaptyUI.createFlowView(flow)
+     .onSuccess { view -> view.present() }
+     .onError { error ->
+         // the flow has no view configured, or view creation failed
+     }

A flow view is single-use: after you call dismiss(), the view is destroyed, so call createFlowView again to present the flow once more.

Handling events

The events observer is renamed from AdaptyUIPaywallsEventsObserver to AdaptyUIFlowsEventsObserver, and its callbacks change the paywallView prefix to flowView. Existing handler bodies don’t need code changes — just rename the type and the overrides:

- AdaptyUI.setPaywallsEventsObserver(object : AdaptyUIPaywallsEventsObserver {
-     override fun paywallViewDidFinishPurchase(
-         view: AdaptyUIPaywallView,
+ AdaptyUI.setFlowsEventsObserver(object : AdaptyUIFlowsEventsObserver {
+     override fun flowViewDidFinishPurchase(
+         view: AdaptyUIFlowView,
          product: AdaptyPaywallProduct,
          purchaseResult: AdaptyPurchaseResult
      ) {
          // custom logic after purchase
      }
  })

One callback is also renamed: paywallViewDidFailRendering becomes flowViewDidReceiveError. It fires for the same rendering errors as before, plus other non-purchase runtime errors:

- override fun paywallViewDidFailRendering(view: AdaptyUIPaywallView, error: AdaptyError) {}
+ override fun flowViewDidReceiveError(view: AdaptyUIFlowView, error: AdaptyError) {}

See Handle flow & paywall events for the full list of callbacks.

Compose platform view

If you embed views with the Compose Multiplatform composable, AdaptyUIPaywallPlatformView(paywall, ...) is renamed to AdaptyUIFlowPlatformView(flow, ...). The event callbacks keep their onDid... names, except onDidFailRendering, which becomes onDidReceiveError:

- AdaptyUIPaywallPlatformView(
-     paywall = paywall,
+ AdaptyUIFlowPlatformView(
+     flow = flow,
      onDidFinishPurchase = { view, product, result -> /* ... */ },
  )

As in v3, the callbacks you pass here (and any observer registered via registerFlowEventsListener) run in addition to the global observer, not instead of it — your callback observes an event; it does not replace the global default. Keep the changed defaults in mind: for example, the global default no longer dismisses the view after a purchase.

New APIs

  • AdaptyUI.setObserverModeResolver(...) with an AdaptyUIObserverModeResolver — drive purchases and restores initiated from flows while the SDK runs in Observer mode. Previously this was available only in the native iOS and Android SDKs. See Present flows in Observer mode.
  • AdaptyUI.setSystemRequestsHandler(...) with an AdaptyUISystemRequestsHandler — reserved for system requests from a flow (OS permission prompts and app review requests). Flows don’t trigger these requests yet, so you don’t need to register a handler.
  • The new optional flowViewDidReceiveAnalyticEvent callback is reserved for custom analytic events from a flow. Flows don’t emit these to your code yet, so you don’t need to implement it.
  • AdaptyUI.openWebUrl(url, openIn) and AdaptyUI.requestAppReview() — these back the default OpenUrlAction handling and the default handleAppReviewRequest, so URLs and app-review prompts are handled natively out of the box. Call them directly only if you override those defaults.
  • AdaptyConfig.ServerCluster.CN — a new server cluster option alongside DEFAULT and EU, for connecting your app to Adapty’s China servers.

Default behavior changes

These changes do not cause compile errors, so test them at runtime:

  • Purchase completion: In v3, the default paywallViewDidFinishPurchase dismissed the view after any purchase result other than AdaptyPurchaseResult.UserCanceled. In v4, the default flowViewDidFinishPurchase is a no-op, so a flow stays open after a purchase until you dismiss it — matching iOS. If you relied on that auto-close, call view.dismiss() yourself once the purchase finishes.
  • Android system back: In v3, the default paywallViewDidPerformAction dismissed the view on both CloseAction and AndroidSystemBackAction. In v4, the default handles only CloseActionthe system back button no longer closes a flow on its own, matching iOS, where a flow can’t be dismissed by a system gesture. Give users an explicit way out (a Close button or an on_device_back action), or dismiss the view yourself in flowViewDidPerformAction.
  • View errors: In v3, the default paywallViewDidFailRendering did nothing. In v4, the default flowViewDidReceiveError dismisses the view — override it if you want to keep the view open or handle the error differently.
  • Views are single-use: After dismiss(), the view is destroyed. Call createFlowView again to present the flow once more.

Onboarding API deprecation

The legacy onboarding API is deprecated in v4.0 in favor of the Flow Builder. It still works, but will be removed in a future release, so plan migration of your onboardings to the Flow Builder.

Deprecated symbols: getOnboarding, getOnboardingForDefaultAudience, AdaptyUI.createOnboardingView, AdaptyUI.createNativeOnboardingView, and AdaptyUIOnboardingsEventsObserver.
