⚙️ Prerequisites for Integration – Native Android

Before integrating the REL-ID API SDK into your Native Android application, ensure the following requirements are met.

🧱 Project Environment

📱 Android Requirements

• Minimum SDK Version: 23 or higher
• Target SDK Version: 35
• AGP (Android Gradle Plugin) Version:
  • Current: 7.4
  • Supported Range: 7.3.0 to 7.4.2

  🔌 Proxy Configuration (if needed)

  If you're working behind a proxy:
  • Set proxy in Android Studio via:
    File > Settings > System Settings > HTTP Proxy
  • If proxy settings aren't working, manually set them in:

    ~/.gradle/gradle.properties

  • Also configure proxy settings for:
    • npm
    • git

🔐 SDK Artifacts & Info Required (From REL-ID Admin)

⚙️ REL-ID SDK Installation Guide for Native Android

This guide outlines how to integrate the REL-ID SDK into a native Android project as per the REL-ID API SDK Integration v25.04.01 documentation.

📦 1. Prerequisites

• REL-ID SDK .aar file provided by Uniken

📥 2. Install the REL-ID SDK

2.1. Add REL-ID_SDK.aar

1. Copy the REL-ID_SDK.aar file to the following location:

project-root/app/libs/REL-ID_SDK.aar

2. In Android Studio:
   • Go to File > Project Structure > Dependencies
   • Select your app module
   • Click + and choose JAR/AAR Dependency
   • Browse to and select: libs/REL-ID_SDK.aar
   • Set configuration as: implementation
   • Click OK and Apply

2.2. Add Repositories in settings.gradle

For Android Studio Bumblebee and above, add this inside settings.gradle:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter() // (Deprecated soon)
        // UNIKEN SDK Maven Repository
        maven {
            url "https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/managevm/REL-ID-Thirdparty-Repo/_packaging/library/maven/v1"
        }
    }
}

💡

If you're using credential-based auth or proxy configuration, follow your org’s standards for Maven credentials.

2.3. Add Module-Level Dependencies

In app/build.gradle, add the Uniken SDK dependency:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.uniken.relid:engine:7.3.3") {
        transitive = true
    }
}

2.4. Add Packaging Options

To avoid .so file conflicts, include the following in app/build.gradle:

android {
    ...
    packagingOptions {
        pickFirst '**/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst '**/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst '**/x86/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst '**/x86_64/libc++_shared.so'
    }
}

2.5. Add Permissions

The REL-ID API SDK and Mobile Threat Detection (MTD) modules require a predefined set of Android permissions to operate securely and effectively.

📂 3. Agent Info

Place the Agent_info.txt file (provided by Uniken) into your assets/ folder or load it as needed. This file contains application-specific identity data required during initialization.

✅ You’re now ready to initialize and integrate the REL-ID SDK in your native Android application!
