Creating an Android SDK sounds like something only big teams or companies do — but it doesn’t have to be.
Many devs (myself included) think of SDK publishing as something overly complex or “too much for a side project.” So I put together a simple, step-by-step guide to demystify the process.
It walks through:
- Structuring a clean Kotlin library
- Designing a public API
- Publishing to GitHub with JitPack (no Maven Central needed)
- Integrating with Jetpack Compose
- And writing docs + examples others can actually use
The post includes a working GitHub repo, a full example SDK, and even an integration demo app — so you can clone, explore, and build on top of it right away.
