Unity - Adapty SDK installation & configuration

Adapty comprises two crucial SDKs for seamless integration into your mobile app:

  • Core AdaptySDK: This is a fundamental, mandatory SDK necessary for the proper functioning of Adapty within your app.
  • AdaptyUI SDK: This optional SDK becomes necessary if you use the Adapty Paywall builder: a user-friendly, no-code tool for easily creating cross-platform paywalls. These paywalls are built in a visual constructor right in our dashboard, run entirely natively on the device, and require minimal effort from you to create something that performs well.

Please consult the compatibility table below to choose the correct pair of Adapty SDK and AdaptyUI SDK.

Go through release checklist before releasing your app

Before releasing your application, make sure to carefully review the Release Checklist thoroughly. This checklist ensures that you've completed all necessary steps and provides criteria for evaluating the success of your integration.

Install Adapty SDKs

To install the Adapty SDKs:

  1. Download the adapty-unity-plugin-*.unitypackage from GitHub and import it into your project.

  1. Download the adapty-ui-unity-plugin-*.unitypackage from GitHub and import it into your project.

  1. Download and import the External Dependency Manager plugin.

  2. The SDK uses the "External Dependency Manager" plugin to handle iOS Cocoapods dependencies and Android gradle dependencies. After the installation, you may need to invoke the dependency manager:

    Assets -> External Dependency Manager -> Android Resolver -> Force Resolve

    and

    Assets -> External Dependency Manager -> iOS Resolver -> Install Cocoapods

  3. When building your Unity project for iOS, you would get Unity-iPhone.xcworkspace file, which you have to open instead of Unity-iPhone.xcodeproj, otherwise, Cocoapods dependencies won't be used.

Configure Adapty SDKs

To configure the Adapty SDKs for Unity, start by initializing the Adapty Unity Plugin and then using it as described in the guidance below. Additionally, ensure to set up your logging system to receive errors and other important information from Adapty.

Initiate Adapty Unity Plugin on iOS

The Adapty Unity Plugin on iOS is initialized automatically. To make it work properly:

  1. Manually create the Adapty-Info.plist file and add it to the /Assets folder of your Unity project. It will be automatically copied to the Xcode project during the build phase. Below is an example of how this file should be structured:

    Xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>AdaptyPublicSdkKey</key>
    <string>insert_here_your_Adapty_public_key#</string>
    <key>AdaptyObserverMode</key>
    <false/>
    </dict>
    </plist>

Parameters:

ParameterPresenceDescription
AdaptyPublicSdkKeyrequiredThe key you can find in the Public SDK key field of your app settings in Adapty: App settings-> General tab -> API keys subsection
AdaptyObserverModeoptional

A boolean value controlling Observer mode. Turn it on if you handle purchases and subscription status yourself and use Adapty for sending subscription events and analytics. The default value is false.

🚧 When running in Observer mode, Adapty SDK won't close any transactions, so make sure you're handling it.

idfaCollectionDisabledoptional

A boolean parameter, that allows you to disable IDFA collection for your iOS app. The default value is false.

For more details, refer to the Analytics integration section.

Initiate Adapty Unity Plugin on Android

The Adapty Unity Plugin on Android is automatically initialized. To ensure it works properly:

  1. Add <meta-data section with "AdaptyPublicSdkKey" as a direct child of the <application section to your project's AndroidManifest.xml file. If you don't have one, it can be easily created in Project Settings -> Player -> Settings for Android -> Publishing settings -> Custom Main Manifest checkbox). Here is an example:

    Xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest ...>
    <application ...>
    ...

    <meta-data
    android:name="AdaptyPublicSdkKey"
    android:value="PUBLIC_SDK_KEY" />

    <meta-data
    android:name="AdaptyObserverMode"
    android:value="false" />
    </application>
    </manifest>

Configurational options:

ParameterPresenceDescription
AdaptyPublicSDKkeyrequired

The key you can find in the Public SDK key field of your app settings in Adapty: App settings-> General tab -> API keys subsection.

Make sure you use the Public SDK key for Adapty initialization, the Secret key should be used for server-side API only.

AdaptyObservermodeoptional

A boolean value that controls Observer mode. Turn it on if you handle purchases and subscription status yourself and use Adapty for sending subscription events and analytics. Default value is false.

Note: When running in Observer mode, Adapty SDK won't close any transactions, so make sure you're handling it.

Use Adapty Unity Plugin

  1. Create a script to listen to Adapty events. Name it AdaptyListener in your scene. We suggest using the DontDestroyOnLoad method for this object to ensure it persists throughout the application's lifespan.

Adapty uses AdaptySDK namespace. At the top of your script files that use the Adapty SDK, you may add

C#
using AdaptySDK;
  1. Subscribe to Adapty events:
C#
   using UnityEngine;
using AdaptySDK;

public class AdaptyListener : MonoBehaviour, AdaptyEventListener {
void Start() {
DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
Adapty.SetEventListener(this);
}

public void OnLoadLatestProfile(Adapty.Profile profile) {
// handle updated profile data
}
}

Please keep in mind that for paywalls and products to be displayed in your mobile application, and for analytics to work, you need to display the paywalls and, if you're using paywalls not created with the Paywall Builder, handle the purchase process within your app.

Set up the logging system

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

errorOnly errors will be logged.
warnErrors and messages from the SDK that do not cause critical errors, but are worth paying attention to will be logged.
infoErrors, warnings, and serious information messages, such as those that log the lifecycle of various modules will be logged.
verboseAny additional information that may be useful during debugging, such as function calls, API queries, etc. will be logged.

You can call SetLogLevel() method in your app before configuring Adapty.
