Deep linking, App Links, link generation, push campaigns, in-app messages, event and screen tracking, revenue and attribution for Kotlin and Java apps.

**Requirements:** Android 5.0 (API 21)+, Kotlin 1.8+ or Java 8+. Install `io.grovs:Grovs` from Maven Central.

## Upgrading

**3.0 to 3.1:** minor release. Adds push campaigns and in-app messages, removes the messages inbox and the dependencies it brought in. Check whether your app used Material, ConstraintLayout or Navigation through the SDK. See the [3.1 upgrade guide](https://docs.grovs.io/docs/upgrade-guides/android-3-1).

**1.x to 3.0:** existing code still compiles. Automatic screen tracking is now on by default, `setSDK(false)` stops all collection, and clipboard-assisted deferred deep linking runs on first launch. See the [3.0 upgrade guide](https://docs.grovs.io/docs/upgrade-guides/android-3-0).
