Real people, inside other indie apps, seeing your app. It’s zero because your SDK integration is still a beautiful dream.
You’re 2 steps from strangers discovering your app
The gatekeeping part is over — you’re in. What’s left is copy-paste.
Updating your app is a pain. We know.
But you know what hurts more? Refreshing your downloads chart like it’s a slot machine that only pays out in disappointment. You spent months building this thing, and right now it’s the best-kept secret on the store. Secrets don’t pay rent.
The fix costs 15 minutes and one update. That’s it. That’s the whole price of getting your app in front of other apps’ users. Ship it tonight — “after the weekend” is developer for “never”.
Ship it in three steps
The README has the details. This is the whole plot:
1Get the SDK
Follow the README for your platform — install is one dependency line.
2Initialize with your app key
This key identifies your app to the network. Paste it into the SDK setup:
…
// in main(), before runApp: CrossPromo.configure(appKey: '<your key>');
3Drop the card where users feel good
One widget. Put it where your users are happiest — right after a finished scan, a nailed task. Happy users tap things. Then submit the update.
const PromoCard(placement: CrossPromoPlacement.postScan)
The math on “today” vs “someday”
Both plans start with the same 15 minutes. “Someday” just adds bonus days of nobody seeing your app. Bold strategy.
~48h → review clears
then → strangers start finding your app
It’s the empty-highway era
The network is young, and fewer apps in the pool means your card shows up a lot. The apps that ship this month get the whole highway to themselves. Floor it.
