Adapty CLI

Adapty CLI Skill

Installation

npm install -g adapty

Or run without installing:

npx adapty@latest

Two modes: Setup (new users, quiz-driven) and Manage (existing users, direct commands).

Mode: Setup (New to Adapty)

The setup flow has 3 phases: Quiz → Create → Guide. Collect ALL information first, then create everything, then tell the user what to do next.

Phase 1: Quiz

Before creating anything, detect the platform and then run an interactive quiz to collect all data.

CRITICAL: You MUST use the AskUserQuestion tool for EVERY quiz question. Do NOT print questions as regular text output. Each question must be a separate AskUserQuestion tool call so the user gets an interactive input prompt. After each answer, proceed to the next AskUserQuestion. This is non-negotiable.

Step 1: Detect platform — silently glob the codebase:

Step 2: Ask questions — use AskUserQuestion tool calls. Bundle related sub-questions into a single AskUserQuestion to minimize round-trips (e.g. app name + platforms + bundle ID = one question). Suggest defaults so the user can just confirm or pick a number. Aim for 2-3 total AskUserQuestion calls, not one per field.

Bundle into 2-3 AskUserQuestion calls:

AskUserQuestion 1: App + Products — bundle app info and product selection:

App name: [suggest from package.json, Info.plist, or AndroidManifest] Bundle ID: [suggest from detected config files] Platforms: 1. iOS only / 2. Android only / 3. Both

Products: 1. Monthly (monthly) / 2. Annual (annual) / 3. Monthly + Annual / 4. Weekly (weekly) / 5. Lifetime (lifetime) / 6. Custom

Valid --period values: weekly, monthly, two_months, trimonthly, semiannual, annual, lifetime. Do NOT use month, year, yearly, or any other aliases — use these exact API values. Product name prefix: [suggest based on app name, e.g. "Premium"]

After this answer, you have enough to generate store product IDs. Pre-fill them using the convention <bundle_id>.<prefix>.<period> and include in the next question.

AskUserQuestion 2: Store IDs + Placements + Paywall approach — confirm generated IDs and collect remaining info:

Store product IDs — these MUST match the IDs you create (or will create) in App Store Connect / Google Play Console. Confirm or edit the suggested IDs:

• iOS: com.example.app.premium.monthly / com.example.app.premium.annual
• Android product ID: premium_monthly / base plan: monthly-base (if Android)

If your iOS and Android IDs differ, enter them separately (e.g. "iOS: com.app.monthly, Android: monthly_sub / base plan: monthly-bp"). If you haven't created store products yet, these suggestions work — just use the same IDs when you set them up in App Store Connect / Google Play Console later.

Placements: 1. Onboarding (onboarding) / 2. Settings (settings) / 3. Feature gate (feature_gate) / 4. All of the above / 5. Custom

Paywall UI: 1. Paywall Builder (visual editor, no UI code) / 2. Custom (your own UI)

Phase 2: Create

After collecting all answers, confirm the plan with the user in a summary table, then create everything sequentially. Do NOT ask questions during creation — use collected data.

IMPORTANT: Products and paywalls cannot be fully edited after creation (period, store product IDs, base plan IDs are permanent). This is why Phase 1 confirmation is critical.

Execution order (each step uses output from previous):

1. adapty auth login (if not already authenticated, check with adapty auth whoami)
2. adapty apps create --title "..." --platform ... --apple-bundle-id/--google-bundle-id ... → save output: id (use as --app), sdk_key (use in SDK), plus the default access level id and sdk_id printed after creation
3. For each product: adapty products create --app <APP_ID> --title "..." --period ... --access-level-id <DEFAULT_AL_ID> --ios-product-id/--android-product-id ... [--android-base-plan-id ...] → save product IDs. Android subscriptions (non-lifetime) require --android-base-plan-id. Web products bind Stripe/Paddle instead: --stripe-product-id+--stripe-price-id or --paddle-product-id+--paddle-price-id (each pair required together).
4. adapty paywalls create --app <APP_ID> --title "..." --product-id <ID1> --product-id <ID2> ... → save paywall ID
5. For each placement: adapty placements create --app <APP_ID> --title "..." --developer-id ... --audiences '[{"segment_ids":[],"paywall_id":"<PAYWALL_ID>","priority":0}]'
   • --paywall-id <PAYWALL_ID> is still accepted as legacy shorthand but emits a stderr deprecation warning. Prefer --audiences for the canonical default-audience shape.

Print progress as you go (e.g. "Created app ✓", "Created product 'Monthly' ✓"). If a step fails, stop and ask the user how to proceed — don't retry blindly.

Phase 3: Guide (Interactive Loop)

After all entities are created, print a brief summary with key values:

Dashboard:              https://app.adapty.io
Your SDK key:           <sdk_key from apps create>
Placement developer IDs: <list of developer_ids>
Access level SDK ID:    <sdk_id from access level, e.g. "premium">

Then use AskUserQuestion to ask what they want to do next. Repeat this after each sub-guide until the user says they're done. Build the options dynamically based on their setup answers:

What do you want to do next?

1. Integrate SDK into the codebase
2. Configure app/products on Apple side (only if iOS)
3. Configure app/products on Google side (only if Android)
4. Design paywall in Paywall Builder (only if they chose Paywall Builder)
5. I'm done for now

Option 1: SDK Integration — print the quickstart link for their platform + paywall approach, plus the key values above. Use Context7 MCP for latest SDK code examples:

resolve-library-id: "adaptyteam/adapty-docs"
query-docs: topic="<platform> <feature>"

Paywall Builder quickstarts:

• iOS: https://adapty.io/docs/ios-quickstart-paywalls.md
• Android: https://adapty.io/docs/android-quickstart-paywalls.md
• Flutter: https://adapty.io/docs/flutter-quickstart-paywalls.md
• React Native: https://adapty.io/docs/react-native-quickstart-paywalls.md

Custom paywall quickstarts:

• Android: https://adapty.io/docs/android-quickstart-manual.md
• Flutter: https://adapty.io/docs/flutter-quickstart-manual.md
• React Native: https://adapty.io/docs/react-native-quickstart-manual.md

Option 2: Apple side — print checklist:

• Create subscription products in App Store Connect with IDs: <list ios_product_ids>
• Adapty Dashboard → App Store Connect: upload In-App Purchase Key (.p8), enter Key ID, Issuer ID, Bundle ID, App Apple ID → https://adapty.io/docs/app-store-connection-configuration.md
• App Store Connect → Server Notifications V2: set URL from Adapty Dashboard → https://adapty.io/docs/enable-app-store-server-notifications.md

Option 3: Google side — print checklist:

• Create subscription products in Google Play Console with IDs: <list android_product_ids>, base plans: <list base_plan_ids>
• Adapty Dashboard → Google Play: upload service account JSON key, enter Package Name → https://adapty.io/docs/google-play-store-connection-configuration.md
• Google Play Console → RTDN: configure Pub/Sub topic from Adapty Dashboard → https://adapty.io/docs/enable-real-time-developer-notifications-rtdn.md

Option 4: Paywall Builder — link to dashboard paywalls section and guide: https://adapty.io/docs/adapty-paywall-builder.md

After showing any option's guide, loop back — ask "What's next?" again with the same AskUserQuestion (minus completed items if user indicates they're done with a step). Stop only when user picks "I'm done."

Mode: Manage (Existing Adapty Users)

For users who already have an Adapty app and want to manage entities, see references/cli-commands.md for the full command reference.

Key notes:

• All resource commands (except apps) require --app <APP_ID> (UUID)
• apps get <app_id> and apps update <app_id> use a positional arg (no --app flag)
• All other get/update commands use a positional arg for the resource ID plus --app flag
• All list commands support --page and --page-size
• All commands support --json
• Use --title (not --name) for all entities
• Use --apple-bundle-id / --google-bundle-id (not ios/android)

Apple Ads

Apple Ads campaign management now lives in the dedicated agent skills, playbooks, and vertical guides at adaptyteam/apple-ads-cli.

Adapty Concepts

• Product — subscription or one-time purchase mapped to store product IDs. Has a period, grants an access level.
• Paywall — screen showing products. Can use Paywall Builder (visual editor) or remote config (custom JSON).
• Placement — location in app where paywall appears. Identified by developer_id. Holds one or more audiences; each audience routes a segment to a paywall by priority. Default audience (segment_ids: []) is the fallback and must have max priority.
• Access Level — permission gate (e.g. "premium"). Products grant access levels on purchase. Identified by sdk_id.
• Segment — filter rule (e.g. "VIP users"). Read-only via CLI: adapty segments list --app <APP_ID>. Compose into placement audiences to give different segments different paywalls at the same placement.
• Audience — (segments, paywall, priority) tuple inside a placement. Auto-materialized from segment composition. CLI exposes audiences as the --audiences JSON shape on placements create/update.
