Open-source Android SDK

Know which installs were people.

Ad networks bill you for every install. They don't tell you which ones were bots. AdHedge checks each install with Play Integrity on first launch and fires your conversion only for the real ones.

What it catches

Every install gets a verdict and the reason behind it.

Stale builds
Installs running a build Play stopped serving. It's the signature of a farm replaying a saved APK.
Sideloads dressed as Play
The installer says Google Play. Play's license check says it never happened.
Emulators and test rigs
No device integrity, ADB enabled, test-keys builds. Flagged on first launch.
Sessions with nobody in them
Opened once, zero taps, never came back. The verdict updates as behavior comes in.
Reinstall churn
The same device reinstalling inside 90 days counts once and bills once.
Installs that never opened
Your ad network reported the install and your app never saw it. Reconciliation shows that gap by day and campaign.

  • No contacts, location, or phone state.
  • No advertising ID or Android ID.
  • No IMEI, serial, MAC, or SSID.

FAQ

Questions we get

Does this block real users?
No. Every app starts in tagged mode: installs are labeled and nothing is blocked. Rooted phones and Play Games on PC get their own label and are never blocked.
Can I use this for an invalid-traffic claim?
Yes. The evidence pack exports device-level facts, dates, and click IDs for every flagged install, ready to attach to an invalid-traffic claim with any ad network.
Does it need my Cloud project?
No. Attestation runs on our Google Cloud project. There's nothing to set up in Cloud Console.
What does it send home?
Install facts: installer, license status, build number, signing certificate, and API level. A Play Integrity token, decoded once and discarded. First-session activity as counts. No personal data, no advertising ID, no hardware IDs.
Does it slow my launch?
No. All work runs off the main thread, and the SDK adds under 120 KB.
What about my existing users?
They get their own dashboard row, never fire a conversion, and never count toward your bill.
Does it work with AppsFlyer, Adjust, or Firebase?
Yes. verified_install shows up in Firebase, AppsFlyer, Adjust, Meta, and TikTok with no extra setup.
Is it open source?
The Android SDK, its Flutter and React Native wrappers, and the wire schema are open source under Apache-2.0. Scoring and the MCP server run on our platform.
