[!IMPORTANT] Update, October 2026:
We are working towards making supabase-kt official. Your PRs may wait longer than usual until we migrate the namespace and transfer the repository. Check out this discussion for more information.

For information about supported Kotlin targets, see the corresponding module README.

Troubleshooting

Installation

Add one or more modules to your project

Available modules: auth-kt*, postgrest-kt, functions-kt, storage-kt, realtime-kt, apollo-graphql, compose-auth, compose-auth-ui, coil-integration, coil3-integration, imageloader-integration

dependencies {
    implementation("io.github.jan-tennert.supabase:[module]:VERSION")
}

* Before version 3.0.0, the module was called gotrue-kt.

If you use multiple modules, you can use the bom dependency to get the correct versions for all modules:

implementation(platform("io.github.jan-tennert.supabase:bom:VERSION"))
implementation("io.github.jan-tennert.supabase:[module]")

Note that the minimum Android SDK version is 26. For lower versions, you need to enable core library desugaring.

Add a Ktor Client Engine to each of your Kotlin targets

You can find a list of available engines here. If you plan to use the Realtime dependency, make sure to check if the engine supports WebSockets. See the Ktor docs for more information.

implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-[engine]:VERSION")

For targets: jvm, android, js, ios

sourceSets {
    commonMain {
        dependencies {
            //Supabase modules
        }
    }
    jvmMain {
        dependencies {
            implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-cio:KTOR_VERSION")
        }
    }
    androidMain {
        dependsOn(jvmMain.get())
    }
    jsMain {
        dependencies {
            implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-js:KTOR_VERSION")
        }
    }
    iosMain {
        dependencies {
            implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-darwin:KTOR_VERSION")
        }
    }
}

Note: It is recommended to use the same Ktor version as supabase-kt:

Supabase Service Compatibility

supabase-kt only guarantees compatibility with the latest release of each Supabase service, unless a minimum supported version is explicitly listed below.

Older service releases are supported on a best-effort basis, but compatibility is not guaranteed.

If you self-host Supabase, we recommend upgrading your services to their latest releases when upgrading the SDK.

Service	Module	Server releases	Lowest supported version
Auth	auth-kt	supabase/auth	Latest release
Storage	storage-kt	supabase/storage	Latest release
Functions	functions-kt	supabase/edge-runtime	Latest release
PostgREST	postgrest-kt	PostgREST/postgrest	Latest release
Realtime	realtime-kt	supabase/realtime	Latest release
