Install & configure the Adapty Kotlin Multiplatform SDK

Adapty SDK includes two key modules for seamless integration into your mobile app:

• Core Adapty: This essential SDK is required for Adapty to function properly in your app.
• AdaptyUI: This module is needed if you use the Adapty Paywall Builder, a user-friendly, no-code tool for easily creating cross-platform paywalls.

info

Adapty supports Google Play Billing Library up to 7.x. Support for Billing Library 8.0.0 (released 30 June, 2025) is planned.

Install Adapty SDK via Gradle

Adapty SDK installation with Gradle is required for both Android and iOS apps.

Choose your dependency setup method:

• Standard Gradle: Add dependencies to your module-level build.gradle
• If your project uses .gradle.kts files, add dependencies to your module-level build.gradle.kts
• If you use version catalogs, add dependencies to your libs.versions.toml file and then, reference it in build.gradle.kts

module-level build.gradle

kotlin {
    sourceSets {
        commonMain {
            dependencies {
                implementation libs.adapty.kmp
            }
        }
    }
}

module-level build.gradle.kts

kotlin {
    sourceSets {
        val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(libs.adapty.kmp)
            }
        }
    }
}

Versions library

// libs.versions.toml
[versions]
..
adapty-kmp    = "<the latest SDK version>"

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

// build.gradle.kts

kotlin {
    sourceSets {
        val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(libs.adapty.kmp)
            }
        }
    }
}

note

If you get a Maven-related error, make sure that you have mavenCentral() in your Gradle scripts.

The instruction on how to add it

If your project doesn't have dependencyResolutionManagement in your settings.gradle, add the following to your top-level build.gradle at the end of repositories:

top-level build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Otherwise, add the following to your settings.gradle in repositories of dependencyResolutionManagement section:

settings.gradle

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    ...
    repositories {
        ...
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Activate Adapty SDK

Basic setup

Add the initialization as early as possible—typically in your shared Kotlin code for both platforms.

Kotlin

import com.adapty.kmp.Adapty
import com.adapty.kmp.models.AdaptyConfig

val config = AdaptyConfig
    .Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
    .build()

Adapty.activate(configuration = config)
    .onSuccess {
        Log.d("Adapty", "SDK initialised")
    }
    .onError { error ->
        Log.e("Adapty", "Adapty init error: ${error.message}")
    }

To get your Public SDK Key:

1. Go to Adapty Dashboard and navigate to App settings → General.
2. From the Api keys section, copy the Public SDK Key (NOT the Secret Key).
3. Replace "YOUR_PUBLIC_SDK_KEY" in the code.

info

• Make sure you use the Public SDK key for Adapty initialization, the Secret key should be used for server-side API only.
• SDK keys are unique for every app, so if you have multiple apps make sure you choose the right one.

Activate AdaptyUI module of Adapty SDK

If you plan to activate the AdaptyUI module to use the Adapty Paywall Builder, make sure to set .withActivateUI(true) in your configuration.

info

important In your code, you must activate the core Adapty module before activating AdaptyUI.

Kotlin

import com.adapty.kmp.Adapty
import com.adapty.kmp.models.AdaptyConfig
import com.adapty.kmp.models.AdaptyLogLevel

val config = AdaptyConfig
    .Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
    .withActivateUI(true)           // true for activating the AdaptyUI module
    .build()  

Adapty.activate(configuration = config)
    .onSuccess {
        Log.d("Adapty", "SDK initialised")
    }
    .onError { error ->
        Log.e("Adapty", "Adapty init error: ${error.message}")
    }    

Configure Proguard (Android)

Before launching your app in the production, you might need to add -keep class com.adapty.** { *; } to your Proguard configuration.

Optional setup

Logging

Set up the logging system

Adapty logs errors and other important information to help you understand what is going on. There are the following levels available:

Level	Description
AdaptyLogLevel.NONE	Nothing will be logged. Default value
AdaptyLogLevel.ERROR	Only errors will be logged
AdaptyLogLevel.WARN	Errors and messages from the SDK that do not cause critical errors, but are worth paying attention to will be logged.
AdaptyLogLevel.INFO	Errors, warnings, and various information messages will be logged.
AdaptyLogLevel.VERBOSE	Any additional information that may be useful during debugging, such as function calls, API queries, etc. will be logged.

You can set the log level in your app before configuring Adapty:

Kotlin

import com.adapty.kmp.models.AdaptyConfig
import com.adapty.kmp.models.AdaptyLogLevel

val config = AdaptyConfig
     .Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
     .withLogLevel(AdaptyLogLevel.VERBOSE) // recommended for development
     .build()   

Data policies

Disable IP address collection and sharing

When activating the Adapty module, set ipAddressCollectionDisabled to true to disable user IP address collection and sharing. The default value is false.

Use this parameter to enhance user privacy, comply with regional data protection regulations (like GDPR or CCPA), or reduce unnecessary data collection when IP-based features aren't required for your app.

Kotlin

import com.adapty.kmp.models.AdaptyConfig

val config = AdaptyConfig
     .Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
     .withIpAddressCollectionDisabled(true)  
     .build()  

Disable advertising ID collection and sharing

When activating the Adapty module, set appleIdfaCollectionDisabled (iOS) or googleAdvertisingIdCollectionDisabled (Android) to true to disable the collection of advertising identifiers. The default value is false.

Use this parameter to comply with App Store/Play Store policies, avoid triggering the App Tracking Transparency prompt, or if your app does not require advertising attribution or analytics based on advertising IDs.

Kotlin

import com.adapty.kmp.models.AdaptyConfig

val config = AdaptyConfig
     .Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
     .withGoogleAdvertisingIdCollectionDisabled(true)        // Android only
     .withAppleIdfaCollectionDisabled(true)                  // iOS only
     .build()  

Set up media cache configuration for AdaptyUI

By default, AdaptyUI caches media (such as images and videos) to improve performance and reduce network usage. You can customize the cache settings by providing a custom configuration.

Use mediaCache to override the default cache settings:

import com.adapty.kmp.models.AdaptyConfig

val config = AdaptyConfig
    .Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
    .withMediaCacheConfiguration(
        AdaptyConfig.MediaCacheConfiguration(
            memoryStorageTotalCostLimit = 200 * 1024 * 1024, // 200 MB
            memoryStorageCountLimit = Int.MAX_VALUE,          
            diskStorageSizeLimit = 200 * 1024 * 1024 // 200 MB
        )
    )
    .build()
