Shoplive Android SDK

The Shoplive Android SDK, distributed as AAR + POM through a Gradle Maven repository. Every release tag carries the AAR/POM assets, and the maven-repo branch serves the same binaries in Maven layout for Gradle to resolve.

Requirements

Min SDK	23 (see release notes if a release raises the floor)
Distribution	Gradle Maven repository
Android Gradle Plugin	8.x recommended

Installation

1. Set up the Maven repository

settings.gradle.kts (or the root repositories block):

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url = uri("https://sdk.shoplive.cloud/maven-repo")
        }
    }
}

Use the sdk.shoplive.cloud endpoint as the canonical Maven repository URL.

2. Dependencies

Declare the product coordinates you need, all on the same version:

dependencies {
    implementation("cloud.shoplive:shoplive-player-sdk:3.0.0")
}

Or through a version catalog (gradle/libs.versions.toml):

[versions]
shoplive = "3.0.0"

[libraries]
shoplive-player-sdk = { module = "cloud.shoplive:shoplive-player-sdk", version.ref = "shoplive" }
shoplive-streamer-sdk = { module = "cloud.shoplive:shoplive-streamer-sdk", version.ref = "shoplive" }

implementation(libs.shoplive.player.sdk)

Everything else — shoplive-core, shoplive-core-player, shoplive-exoplayer, shoplive-webrtc, shoplive-android-webrtc, shoplive-rtmp — is an implementation detail that arrives transitively through each product's POM. You never declare those yourself.

3. Products

Product coordinate	Purpose
cloud.shoplive:shoplive-player-sdk	Live / VOD playback
cloud.shoplive:shoplive-streamer-sdk	Broadcasting

Player

implementation("cloud.shoplive:shoplive-player-sdk:3.0.0")

Streamer

implementation("cloud.shoplive:shoplive-streamer-sdk:3.0.0")

All

implementation("cloud.shoplive:shoplive-player-sdk:3.0.0")
implementation("cloud.shoplive:shoplive-streamer-sdk:3.0.0")

Using both products still resolves each shared module exactly once — Gradle deduplicates the identical coordinates coming from both POMs.

With any of the three, the core surface is available without declaring it:

import cloud.shoplive.core.publicsurface.Shoplive
import cloud.shoplive.core.publicsurface.ShopliveConfiguration
import cloud.shoplive.core.publicsurface.ShopliveUser

Shoplive.initialize(context, ShopliveConfiguration(accessKey = "{ACCESS_KEY}"))
Shoplive.setUser(ShopliveUser.Guest)

Releases

• Releases — tagged versions with the AAR/POM assets attached, plus the release notes for each version.
• The maven-repo branch holds the same binaries in Maven path layout for Gradle to resolve.
• The auto-generated "Source code (zip / tar.gz)" archives on a release are this distribution repo, not the SDK sources — use the AAR/POM assets or the Maven repository above.
