Step 1: Create an Adrop project

Before you can add Adrop to your Flutter app, you need to create an Adrop project to connect to your app.

Step 2: Register your app with Adrop

To use Adrop in your Flutter app, you need to register your app with your Adrop project. Registering your app is often called "adding" your app to your project.

Make sure to enter the package name that your app is actually using. The package name value is case-sensitive, and it cannot be changed for this Adrop Android app after it's registered with your Adrop project.

Using Flutter app builder

1. Go to the Adrop console.

2. In the center of the project app page, click the Flutter icon button to launch the setup workflow.

3. Enter your app's package name in the Flutter package name field.

   • A package name uniquely identifies your app on the device and in the Google Play Store or App Store.

   • A package name is often referred to as an application ID.

   • Be aware that the package name value is case-sensitive, and it cannot be changed for this Adrop Flutter app after it's registered with your Adrop project.

4. Enter other app information: App nickname.

   • App nickname: An internal, convenience identifier that is only visible to you in the Adrop console

5. Click Register app and then Android and Apple apps will be created respectively.

Using Android app builder

Using Apple app builder

Step 3: Add an Adrop configuration file

Android

1. Download adrop_service.json to obtain your Adrop Android platforms config file.

2. Move your config file into your assets directory. android/app/src/main/assets/adrop_service.json

Apple

1. Download adrop_service.json to obtain your Adrop Apple platforms config file.

2. Move your config file into the root of your Xcode project. If prompted, select to add the config file to all targets.

Step 4: Add Adrop plugin to your app

1. From your Flutter project directory, run the following command to install the plugin.

flutter pub add adrop_ads_flutter

Step 5: Initialize Adrop in your app

The final step is to add initialization code to your application.

1. Import the Adrop plugin.

import 'package:adrop_ads_flutter/adrop_ads_flutter.dart';

1. Also in your lib/main.dart file, initialize Adrop.

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  State<MyApp> createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    initialize();
  }

  Future<void> initialize() async {
    // ..
    // true for production
    await Adrop.initialize(false);
  }
}

1. Add AdropNavigatorObserver to measure the frequency of ad impressions

 @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return MaterialApp(
      navigatorObservers: [AdropNavigatorObserver()],
      ...
  );

1. Rebuild your Flutter application.

flutter run
