🚧

Avoid Unnecessary Code Duplication

Refrain from including Smartech.getInstance(new WeakReference<>(context)).initializeSdk(this); code in the application class. The provided code snippet already accomplishes the required functionality. Adding redundant code may lead to conflicts or unexpected behavior in your application.

Install iOS SDK

For iOS app development, refer to Basic Setup. Once your basic setup is completed, you can integrate into your project. You can initialize the Netcore CE Cordova library in your JavaScript code.

const SmartechBaseCordova = window.plugins.SmartechBaseCordova;
