User Age Category package
Updated: Sep 4, 2026
The
Platform SDK User Age Category Package lets your application retrieve a user’s age category, so it can tailor content and features accordingly. The categories are Child, Teenage (13-17), and Adult (18+).
The package returns a category; it does not itself make an application compliant. Use it as one input when building age-appropriate behavior for regimes such as COPPA and GDPR. The obligations remain the developer’s. It matters most for applications with user-generated content or social features.
Add the following to your project’s ./gradle/libs.versions.toml file:
[libraries]
# Existing lines
user-age-category-kotlin = { module = "com.meta.horizon.platform.sdk:user-age-category-kotlin", version.ref = "horizonPlatformSdk" }
dependencies {
// Existing lines
implementation(libs.user.age.category.kotlin)
}
In Android Studio, click File > Sync Project with Gradle Files to install the package.
Click Build > Generate App Bundles or APKs > Generate APKs.
In the “External Libraries” section of your project, confirm that these packages are listed.
com.meta.horizon.platform.sdk:core-kotlin
com.meta.horizon.platform.sdk:user-age-category-kotlin
Now you can initialize the Platform SDK and use User Age Category package functions in your app.
Test these APIs on
Meta Spatial Simulator without a physical device. They need backend access. If that access is unavailable, they return an error.
