Migrate Adapty Unity SDK to v. 4.0

Adapty Unity 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 beta tag. To install it via the Unity Package Manager, append the tag to the Git URL:

https://github.com/adaptyteam/AdaptySDK-Unity.git?path=/Packages/com.adapty.unity-sdk#4.0.0-beta.1

If you install via the Unity package, download adapty-unity-plugin-4.0.0-beta.1.unitypackage from the 4.0.0-beta.1 release. See Install Adapty SDK for the full setup.

Two build-setup changes come with v4:

  • iOS dependencies switch to Swift Package Manager. The native Adapty iOS SDK 4.0 is declared as a remote Swift package instead of a CocoaPods pod. Update the External Dependency Manager to 1.2.188 or later — earlier versions don’t support Swift Package Manager dependencies. The CocoaPods steps (iOS Resolver -> Install Cocoapods, opening Unity-iPhone.xcworkspace) no longer apply.
  • The iOS deployment target must be 15.0 or later. A new build validator in the Unity Editor stops the iOS build if the target is lower.

The underlying native Adapty SDKs are bumped to 4.x on both platforms and are resolved automatically — no other build changes are needed.

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", "en", (paywall, error) => {
+ Adapty.GetFlow("YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID", (flow, error) => {
      if (error != null) {
          // handle the error
          return;
      }
-     // use the paywall
+     // use the flow
  });

GetPaywallForDefaultAudience is renamed the same way:

- Adapty.GetPaywallForDefaultAudience("YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID", "en", (paywall, error) => { /* ... */ });
+ Adapty.GetFlowForDefaultAudience("YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID", (flow, error) => { /* ... */ });

GetPaywallProducts(paywall) → GetPaywallProducts(flow)

GetPaywallProducts keeps its name but now takes an AdaptyFlow:

- Adapty.GetPaywallProducts(paywall, (products, error) => {
+ Adapty.GetPaywallProducts(flow, (products, error) => {
      if (error != null) {
          // handle the error
          return;
      }
      // use the products
  });

Data model

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

v3 AdaptyPaywall propertyv4 AdaptyFlow propertyAction
RemoteConfig (single, nullable)RemoteConfigs (list)A flow carries one remote config per configured language. Read the one that matches the user from flow.RemoteConfigs. The flow.RemoteConfig shortcut returns the first entry.
(new)Paywalls (list of 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.
ProductIdentifiers, VendorProductIdskeptOn AdaptyFlow, these aggregate the products across all paywall variations. Each variation also exposes its own ProductIdentifiers and VendorProductIds. To fetch products, keep calling GetPaywallProducts(flow).
HasViewConfigurationremovedRemove any HasViewConfiguration check from your code — CreateFlowView returns an error instead (see Displaying flows).
Products (list of AdaptyProductReference)removedAdaptyProductReference is no longer public, and with it the PromotionalOfferId, WinBackOfferId, and AndroidOfferId values it carried. Use ProductIdentifiers — a list of AdaptyProductIdentifier with VendorProductId and the Android-only BasePlanId (v3’s AndroidBasePlanId) — or call GetPaywallProducts(flow) when you need full AdaptyPaywallProduct objects with prices and offers.
RemoteConfigStringremovedRead the string from the remote config itself: flow.RemoteConfig?.Data, or the matching entry in flow.RemoteConfigs.
(new)FlowVersionId (nullable)The version identifier of the flow, or null when it isn’t available.

AdaptyPaywallProduct gains one field: FlowProductId, the product’s identifier within the flow, which is null for products that don’t belong to a flow.

Web paywall methods

OpenWebPaywall and CreateWebPaywallUrl keep their names, but the paywall argument now takes an AdaptyFlowPaywall — one of the variations in flow.Paywalls. You can still pass an AdaptyPaywallProduct instead:

- Adapty.OpenWebPaywall(paywall, AdaptyWebPresentation.ExternalBrowser, (error) => { /* ... */ });
+ var flowPaywall = flow.Paywalls.FirstOrDefault();
+ if (flowPaywall != null) {
+     Adapty.OpenWebPaywall(flowPaywall, AdaptyWebPresentation.ExternalBrowser, (error) => { /* ... */ });
+ }

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, (error) => { /* ... */ });
+ Adapty.LogShowFlow(flow, (error) => { /* ... */ });

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) are unchanged, and the optional parameters object keeps the same fields (LoadTimeout, PreloadProducts, CustomTags, CustomTimers, CustomAssets, ProductPurchaseParameters) under the new AdaptyUICreateFlowViewParameters name, plus two new ones — Locale and EnableSafeAreaPaddings:

- AdaptyUI.CreatePaywallView(paywall, parameters, (view, error) => {
+ AdaptyUI.CreateFlowView(flow, parameters, (view, error) => {
      if (error != null) {
          // handle the error
          return;
      }
      view.Present((error) => { /* handle the error */ });
  });

CreateFlowView returns an error if the flow has no view configured — this replaces the v3 HasViewConfiguration check:

- if (paywall.HasViewConfiguration) {
-     AdaptyUI.CreatePaywallView(paywall, null, (view, error) => { /* ... */ });
- }
+ AdaptyUI.CreateFlowView(flow, (view, error) => {
+     if (error != null) {
+         // the flow has no view configured, or view creation failed
+         return;
+     }
+     view.Present((error) => { /* handle the error */ });
+ });

A flow view is single-use: after you call Dismiss, the view is destroyed, so call CreateFlowView again to present the flow once more.

Android safe-area paddings

AdaptyUICreateFlowViewParameters adds EnableSafeAreaPaddings, which controls Android safe-area paddings at runtime. It is ignored on iOS and defaults to true:

var parameters = new AdaptyUICreateFlowViewParameters()
    .SetEnableSafeAreaPaddings(false);

Handling events

Listener interfaces now follow the C# I-prefix convention, and no legacy aliases are kept — rename AdaptyEventListener to IAdaptyEventListener and AdaptyOnboardingsEventsListener to IAdaptyOnboardingsEventsListener wherever you implement them.

The flow events listener is renamed from AdaptyPaywallsEventsListener to IAdaptyFlowsEventsListener, its registration method from SetPaywallsEventsListener to SetFlowsEventsListener, and its callbacks change the PaywallView prefix to FlowView. Existing handler bodies don’t need code changes — just rename the interface and the methods:

- public class MyListener : MonoBehaviour, AdaptyPaywallsEventsListener {
-     public void PaywallViewDidFinishPurchase(
-         AdaptyUIPaywallView view,
+ public class MyListener : MonoBehaviour, IAdaptyFlowsEventsListener {
+     public void FlowViewDidFinishPurchase(
+         AdaptyUIFlowView view,
          AdaptyPaywallProduct product,
          AdaptyPurchaseResult purchasedResult
      ) {
          // custom logic after purchase
      }
      // ...
  }

- Adapty.SetPaywallsEventsListener(myListener);
+ Adapty.SetFlowsEventsListener(myListener);

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

- public void PaywallViewDidFailRendering(AdaptyUIPaywallView view, AdaptyError error) { }
+ public void FlowViewDidReceiveError(AdaptyUIFlowView view, AdaptyError error) { }

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

New APIs

  • Adapty.SetObserverModeResolver(...) with an IAdaptyUIObserverModeResolver — 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.
  • Adapty.SetSystemRequestsHandler(...) with an IAdaptyUISystemRequestsHandler — reserved for system requests from a flow: OS permission prompts (FlowViewDidAskPermission) and app review requests (FlowViewDidRequestAppReview). Flows don’t trigger these requests yet, so you don’t need to register a handler.
  • AdaptyUICreateFlowViewParameters.Locale (set it with SetLocale) — render a flow or paywall with a specific Builder localization instead of the one Adapty resolves from the device. A flow is localized when its view is created, so this is the only place to choose its localization, and the created view reports the localization it was built with in view.Locale. See Use localizations and locale codes.
  • The new FlowViewDidReceiveAnalyticEvent callback on IAdaptyFlowsEventsListener is reserved for custom analytic events from a flow. Flows don’t emit these to your code yet, so implement it with an empty body.
  • AdaptyUI.OpenUrl(url, openIn, ...) and AdaptyUI.RequestAppReview(...) — the native handling behind open_url actions and app review requests. Call OpenUrl from FlowViewDidPerformAction to keep the default URL behavior; RequestAppReview backs the default app-review prompt, which flows don’t trigger yet.

Default behavior changes

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

  • Purchase completion: In v3, the view was dismissed automatically after a successful purchase. In v4, a flow stays open after a purchase or an error until you dismiss it — the SDK applies no default behavior. Call view.Dismiss(...) yourself in FlowViewDidFinishPurchase once the user gets access.
  • Android system back: The system back button (or back gesture) is delivered to FlowViewDidPerformAction as a SystemBack action and 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 when handling the action.
  • Views are single-use: After Dismiss, the view is destroyed. Call CreateFlowView again to present the flow once more.
  • Observer mode transactions: ReportTransaction no longer surfaces a decoding error on success — in v3 the success response was incorrectly parsed, so a successful report always completed with an error.

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.PresentOnboardingView, AdaptyUI.DismissOnboardingView, and Adapty.SetOnboardingsEventsListener.
