Update the Connect Android SDK

To update the Connect library integrated into your Android app, follow these steps.

📘

Note

For the list of available versions, see Release notes for mobile Connect SDKs.

  1. Update the version number.

In the app-level build.gradle file, update the version number in the dependencies block.

dependencies {
    implementation "io.github.go-acoustic:connect:11.0.11"
}
dependencies {
    implementation("io.github.go-acoustic:connect:11.0.11")
}
  1. Clean and rebuild your project.

  2. Verify the resolved version. Confirm that Gradle resolved the version you expect:

./gradlew :app:dependencies --configuration debugRuntimeClasspath | grep go-acoustic
  1. If the output still shows the previous version, clear the module cache and force a refresh:
rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/io.github.go-acoustic
./gradlew clean assembleDebug --refresh-dependencies

Upgrading to Connect Android SDK 11 (May 2026)

Connect Android SDK 11 introduces push notification support and restructures the SDK into modular artifacts. If you are upgrading from SDK 10.x, follow the steps below based on whether you want to enable push notifications.

To enable push notifications

Push notifications require an app key from a Mobile app integration in Connect. Older integrations created before May 2026 do not support push. If you have one of these, your Connect administrator must create a new Mobile app integration and provide you with the new app key. For instructions, see Connect mobile apps in the user guide.

Analytics only

If you want to continue using the Connect SDK for behavioral analytics only — screen views, gestures, taps, and session replay — no changes to your existing configuration are required. Your current initialization code continues to work.
