  • Dart 2.12 or later
  • Android API 21 (Android 5.0) or later
  • iOS 10.0 or later
  • Xcode 12.0 or later (for iOS)

Installation​

Step 1: Add Apptrove SDK to Your App​

The Apptrove Flutter SDK can be added to your project in two ways.

Option 1: Update pubspec.yaml​

Add the following dependency to your pubspec.yaml file:

Find the latest version on pub.dev

dependencies:
  apptrove_sdk_flutter: ^2.0.0  // Use Latest Version

Option 2: Use CLI Command​

Run the following command in your terminal:

flutter pub add apptrove_sdk_flutter

This command automatically adds the SDK to your pubspec.yaml.

note

Package: apptrove_sdk_flutter · Latest Version: 2.0.0

Install Dependencies​

Run the following command to update packages:

flutter pub get

Step 2: Update Pod Dependencies (iOS)​

For iOS apps, ensure CocoaPods dependencies are installed.

Steps​

  1. Navigate to the ios folder in your Flutter project:
cd ios
  1. Install dependencies:
pod install
  1. Open the generated .xcworkspace file in Xcode to build and run the iOS app.

Step 3: Add Android Install Referrer​

The Android Install Referrer library is required to track app installs accurately.

Steps​

Add the Install Referrer dependency to your android/app/build.gradle file:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:2.2'
}
note

Check the latest version to ensure compatibility.

Step 4: Add Required Permissions (Android)​

The Apptrove SDK requires specific permissions to function correctly on Android.

Steps​

Add the following permissions to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file if not already present:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

<!-- Optional -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Step 5: Enable Google Advertising ID (Android)​

The Apptrove SDK requires the Google Advertising ID for accurate tracking.

Steps​

  1. Add the Google Play Services Ads Identifier dependency to your android/app/build.gradle:
dependencies {
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1'
}
  1. Add the following permission to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml (required for Android 12+):
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID"/>
  1. Add the Google Play Services version metadata inside the <application> tag:
<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Next Steps​

After completing the installation:

  1. Initialize the Apptrove SDK in your app.
  2. Test your integration to ensure proper tracking of installs and events.
