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

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

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

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.

Step 2: Initialize Netcore CE SDK

Import Netcore CE SDK in AppDelegate class.

#import <Smartech/Smartech.h>

import Smartech

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
}

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

Key	Data type	Description
SmartechAppGroup	String	The app group that is selected in capabilities section. It is used to share data between App and Extensions.
SmartechAppId	String	The app id received from Smartech panel under assets section. To get Smartech App ID, click here
SmartechAutoFetchLocation	Boolean	This key decides whether you want to automatically send the location with all the events or not. Set value as true/false as per the requirement.
SmartechUseAdvId	Boolean	This key decides whether to use ADID (Advertising Id) or not. Set value as true/false as per the requirement.

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>
  <!--- -->
