Installation and initialization

AppMetrica Unity is a plugin for the Unity3d platform. It includes the AppMetrica SDK support for Android and iOS.

This section describes the steps to enable and initialize the AppMetrica Unity Plugin:

Step 1. Enable the AppMetrica Unity plugin

The plugin is enabled via the Unity Package Manager.

Add the following dependencies to Packages/manifest.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.google.external-dependency-manager": "https://github.com/google-unity/external-dependency-manager.git#1.2.177",
    "io.appmetrica.analytics": "https://github.com/appmetrica/appmetrica-unity-plugin.git#v6.3.0"
  }
}

Step 2. Initialize the library

We recommend activating AppMetrica with RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethodAttribute.

Create a static method with the [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSceneLoad)] attribute and activate AppMetrica using the AppMetrica.Activate() method.

Example:

using Io.AppMetrica;
using UnityEngine;

public static class AppMetricaActivator {
    [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSceneLoad)]
    private static void Activate() {
        AppMetrica.Activate(new AppMetricaConfig("APIKey") {
            FirstActivationAsUpdate = !IsFirstLaunch(),
        });
    }

    private static bool IsFirstLaunch() {
        // Implement logic to detect whether the app is opening for the first time.
        // For example, you can check for files (settings, databases, and so on),
        // which the app creates on its first launch.
        return true;
    }
}
