How to integrate Thryve SDK Garmin Companion module

Before you can use the Garmin Companion SDK in your app, request a development license from Garmin via Thryve customer support.

Provide:

• Your application ID (Android package name / iOS bundle ID)

• A personal GitHub account (used for Garmin developer access)

Once approved, Garmin issues a license string that you pass into ThryveGarminCompanionConfig following the integration guide

Without a valid Garmin Companion license, the Thryve Garmin Companion module cannot initialize. Keep the license string out of public source control.
