Replace Adjust Open-source SDK + server

Replace Adjust with an open-source analytics stack

Migrate from Adjust to open-source Respectlytics. MIT SDK, AGPL-3.0 server. Helps developers avoid collecting personal data.

Example Adjust call (the "before")

swift Respectlytics
import AdjustSdk

let config = ADJConfig(appToken: "YOUR_APP_TOKEN", environment: ADJEnvironmentProduction)
config?.logLevel = ADJLogLevelInfo
Adjust.appDidLaunch(config)

let event = ADJEvent(eventToken: "purchase_token")
event?.setRevenue(price, currency: "USD")
event?.addCallbackParameter("user_id", value: userId)
Adjust.trackEvent(event)

Closed-source analytics SDKs require you to trust vendor claims about behaviour. Open-source SDKs let your security team verify those claims from source. For regulated industries this is often a procurement-gating requirement. Respectlytics's SDKs are MIT-licensed and fully open; the server is AGPL-3.0.

Remove Adjust cleanly

  1. 1

    Remove the Adjust SDK from your build (Adjust / adjust-android / react-native-adjust / adjust_sdk)

  2. 2

    Remove Adjust.appDidLaunch(config) and Adjust.trackEvent(...) call sites

  3. 3

    Decide whether you still need ATT — if Adjust was your only ATT-triggering SDK, remove NSUserTrackingUsageDescription from Info.plist

  4. 4

    Remove the AD_ID permission from the merged Android manifest if no other SDK needs it

  5. 5

    Plan SKAdNetwork / Google Play Install Referrer as the first-party attribution replacement

Frequently asked questions

Where can we audit the source?

GitHub: github.com/respectlytics. Each SDK has its own repository with source, tests, CI configuration, and release tags. The server lives in a separate repo with the same conventions.

Are the published binaries reproducible from source?

Yes — CI builds use deterministic build commands. The artifacts published to CocoaPods / SPM / Maven Central / npm / pub.dev are produced by the same pipeline that runs against each commit. Reproducible builds are a goal we test against; report any discrepancy as an issue.

Can we modify the SDK and ship our fork?

Yes — MIT permits modification and redistribution with attribution. Many enterprises fork to adjust logging, add internal tracing, or vendor the SDK into their build.

Why MIT for SDK and AGPL for server?

Standard split for source-available SaaS (GitLab, Sentry, MinIO, Plausible). MIT on the SDK maximises consumer freedom — your app picks up the dependency without obligation. AGPL on the server prevents competing closed-source SaaS forks while allowing internal self-hosting freely.
