Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have set up your Privy app and obtained your app ID and client ID from the Privy Dashboard.
A properly set up app client is required for mobile apps and other non-web platforms to allow your app to interact with the Privy API. Please follow this guide to configure an app client.

​
Initializing Privy

Initialize a Privy instance with your application context and a PrivyConfig object: 
private val privy: Privy =
   Privy.init(
       context = applicationContext, // be sure to only pass in Application context
       config = PrivyConfig(
           appId = "YOUR_APP_ID",
           appClientId = "YOUR_APP_CLIENT_ID",
           logLevel = PrivyLogLevel.VERBOSE
       )
   )
Initialization must occur on the main (UI) thread. Initializing from a background thread may cause unexpected behavior or runtime errors.

​
Configuration

The configuration fields for the PrivyConfig are:
​
appId
String
required
Your Privy application ID, which can be obtained from the Privy Developer Dashboard, under App Settings > Basics
​
appClientId
String
required
Your app client ID, which can be obtained from the Privy Developer Dashboard, under App Settings > Clients
​
logLevel
PrivyLogLevel
(Optional) Your preferred log level. If no log level is specified, it will default to PrivyLogLevel.NONE.
​
customAuthConfig
LoginWithCustomAuthConfig

Be sure to maintain a single instance of Privy across the lifetime of your application. Initializing multiple instances of Privy will result in unexpected errors.
