A protection SDK becomes part of the application lifecycle, data flow and failure handling. Integration is a contract covering critical operations, not simply an initialization call.
Evaluation approach
Design initialization, event reception and responses separately. Decide whether sensitive flows can open before readiness. Include SDK networking, storage and threading in the architecture.
Application example
If the SDK is not ready during account registration, apply a defined waiting or restricted mode rather than proceeding silently.
Limits and considerations
Adding a callback does not prove correct handling on every screen. Lifecycle recreation can lose previous state.
Initialization is not readiness
An initialization call returning does not necessarily mean all risk information is available. Align SDK readiness with the application lifecycle. If the first sensitive operation must wait, make that state visible to the user.
Check callback threading, whether old events can affect a new session and how errors are classified. SDK failure must not silently become permission to proceed. Choose behavior according to transaction risk.
Checks and decisions
- Test initialization races
- Assign event ownership
- Expose failure states
Treat integration as lifecycle and business-authorization design rather than a single helper class.
