The free, open-source Gravatar mobile SDKs for Android and iOS enable seamless integration of Gravatar profiles into mobile apps, allowing quick access to user avatars and profile details with minimal setup.
Designed for native integration, the SDKs support Jetpack Compose for Android and both SwiftUI and UIKit for iOS, ensuring consistent performance and appearance across platforms. Customization is a key feature, offering flexibility to tailor avatar display, size, style, and query options to fit the app’s design. With support for smart avatar URLs and built-in caching (with the option for custom solutions), developers can optimize performance while maintaining flexibility.
Additionally, the SDKs include an in-app Gravatar Quick Editor, allowing users to easily capture, crop, and upload avatars, with instant synchronization across the app for a smooth user experience.
