iOS SDK

To integrate your iOS project with Netcore CE iOS SDK, follow these steps

📘

iOS Project Prerequisite:

• Support iOS version 10 and above
• Your project must have been integrated with CocoaPods. If you do not have Cocoapods installed already, follow these instructions on the Cocoapods website to install it.

Step 1: Adding SDK dependency - CocoaPods

1. In the Podfile add the Smartech-iOS-SDK as a dependency.

pod 'Smartech-iOS-SDK', '~> <<base_sdk_ios_version>>'

2. Run the following command to update the added pod in your Podfile.

pod install

Once your installation is complete, you will have to open the workspace file (YOUR-PROJECT-NAME.xcworkspace) that is created.

Using Swift Package Manager (SPM)

SPM is Apple's official tool for managing the distribution and procurement of Swift code, streamlining the process of adding, configuring, and managing libraries and frameworks. Below are the Netcore SDKs hosted on GitHub. Refer to the following links for more details:

• Base SDK: SmartechBaseSPM
• Push SDK: SmartPushSPM
• AppInbox SDK: SmartechAppInboxSPM
• Nudges SDK: SmartechNudgesSPM

Step 2: Initialize Netcore CE SDK

1. Import Netcore CE SDK in AppDelegate class.

#import <Smartech/Smartech.h>

import Smartech

2. Call a method to initialize Netcore CE SDK in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method of the AppDelegate class

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    //...
    [[Smartech sharedInstance] initSDKWithDelegate:(id)self withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];
    //...
    return YES;
}

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions:[UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
  //...
   Smartech.sharedInstance().initSDK(with: self, withLaunchOptions: launchOptions)
  //...
  return true
}

3. Configure Apps Info.plist with SmartechKeys

You need to add a key named SmartechKeys with the type Dictionary. Add the following keys and values with their types to the SmartechKeys

You can paste the following snippet in Info.plist of your app and set the appropriate values for the keys.

<!---For Smartech-->
  <key>SmartechKeys</key>
	<dict>
		<key>SmartechAppGroup</key>
		<string>group.com.CompanyName.ProductName</string>
		<key>SmartechAppId</key>
		<string>abcdef123456abcdef123456abcd1234</string>
		<key>SmartechUseAdvId</key>
		<true/>
    	<key>SmartechAutoFetchLocation</key>
		<true/>
	</dict>
  <!--- -->

Step 3: Choose Features

Now that the basic setup is completed, you can choose to move to either of below features:

1. Customer Engagement Channels like Push Notifications & In-app Messages
2. User & Event Tracking
3. Product Experience
