A Note on 3rd-party SDKs

While in general the Skillz SDK is compatible with most major SDKs used in game and app development, it is impossible for us to officially support the limitless combination of SDKs that developers may use.

As a general guideline, we recommend you keep the number of SDKs you incorporate to a minimum in order to limit potential conflicts.

If you’ve already launched with Skillz, please reach out to our Integrations team before you take on additional 3rd-party SDKs.

Configure unique package and bundle IDs

If possible, we recommend making your Android package name and iOS bundle ids unique in order to prevent potential issues when beginning user acquisition spend. As a general naming convention, we recommend using com.<your_company_name>.<your_game_name>.<ios|android>.
