Registry and repo links are for reference. ## What the SDK needs from you The setup steps that apply to any attribution SDK in a iOS app. Each vendor datasheet lists that vendor's own requirements. - **Install** Swift Package Manager or CocoaPods. Some vendors now publish newer versions through SPM first; Kochava distributes only through SPM since v8. - **Minimum iOS** Ranges from iOS 12 to iOS 15.5 across the vendors here. Your deployment target must be at or above the SDK's. - **ATT prompt** Add `NSUserTrackingUsageDescription` and request authorisation with `ATTrackingManager`. Without consent the IDFA is all zeros, and attribution falls back to other signals and SKAN. - **SKAN and AdAttributionKit** Add `NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint` to Info.plist if your MMP wants copies of postbacks, and check whether the SDK updates conversion values for you. - **Deep links** Enable the Associated Domains capability with `applinks:`, host the apple-app-site-association file (most MMPs host it on their link domain) and forward `continueUserActivity` and URL opens to the SDK. - **Privacy manifest** Check the SDK ships a `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` file and include its data types in your App Store privacy answers. ## Questions **Which MMPs have an official iOS (native) SDK?** 9 of the 9 MMPs tracked here publish an official iOS (native) SDK: Adjust, Airbridge, AppMetrica, AppsFlyer, Branch, Kochava, Linkrunner, Singular and Tenjin. **How do I install an MMP SDK in a iOS app?** Add the Swift package in Xcode or the pod to your Podfile, then initialise the SDK early in the app's launch. **Do I need ATT consent to use an MMP SDK on iOS?** No. The SDK runs and can attribute without it, using SKAN, AdAttributionKit and any deterministic signal such as a deep link click. Consent only unlocks the IDFA for user-level matching. **Should I use CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager?** Either works where the vendor publishes both. Check which channel carries the newest release: Kochava, for example, distributes its iOS SDK only through Swift Package Manager since v8, and Airbridge's newest versions are on its SPM repository ahead of CocoaPods trunk. **What is an MMP SDK?** An MMP SDK is the library a mobile measurement partner asks you to add to your app. It records the first open, in-app events and deep link opens, and sends them to the MMP so installs can be matched to the ad or link that drove them. **Is every MMP SDK open source?** No. Many wrappers and SDKs are MIT licensed, but some native SDKs are proprietary: AppsFlyer's native iOS and Android SDKs, Kochava's SDKs and AppMetrica's Flutter plugin are published under proprietary terms. The licence column in each table shows what the registry or repository states. ## Other frameworks - [FW-RN **React Native** npm install the vendor package, then run pod install in the ios folder. Autolinking wires up the native side. *9 of 9 official*](https://mmpsdk.com/frameworks/react-native/) - [FW-FL **Flutter** flutter pub add the package, then check the iOS deployment target in the Podfile and minSdk in android/app/build.gradle. *8 of 9 official*](https://mmpsdk.com/frameworks/flutter/) - [FW-EX **Expo** npx expo install the package, add its config plugin to app.json, then npx expo prebuild and run a development build. Expo Go cannot load these native SDKs. *6 of 9 official*](https://mmpsdk.com/frameworks/expo/) - [FW-UN **Unity** Add the package by Git URL in Unity Package Manager or import the .unitypackage, then resolve native dependencies (often with EDM4U) before building for iOS and Android. *8 of 9 official*](https://mmpsdk.com/frameworks/unity/) - [FW-CP **Capacitor** npm install the plugin, then npx cap sync to copy it into the iOS and Android projects. *4 of 9 official*](https://mmpsdk.com/frameworks/capacitor/) - [FW-CD **Cordova** cordova plugin add the package, then rebuild both platforms. *7 of 9 official*](https://mmpsdk.com/frameworks/cordova/) - [FW-AND **Android (native)** Add the artifact to your Gradle dependencies (and the vendor's Maven repository if it is not on Maven Central), then initialise the SDK in Application.onCreate. *9 of 9 official*](https://mmpsdk.com/frameworks/android/) - [FW-WEB **Web** Add the vendor's script tag or npm package to the site, then initialise it with your app or project key. *7 of 9 official*](https://mmpsdk.com/frameworks/web/)
