Integrate iOS Application

Our DIY flow for iOS application integration simplifies onboarding and easily integrates application features quickly and efficiently. This lets you integrate our application features quickly and validate their functioning simultaneously.

The integration flow is categorized into four parts as follows:

• Setup: You create your application with basic information here.
• Integrate: You integrate your base SDK, enabling in-app messages and system event tracking.
• Add device: You can add Test devices to validate the correct integration of all the features in real time.
• Features: You can add and test all the available features for your application.

Log on to the Netcore CE dashboard and click Settings > Apps, which is the listing page for all your application assets.

Setup

Click the ADD NEW button to start integrating your application. A window opens, allowing you to select the target operating system for your application— Android or iOS.

Provide the following information to setup iOS application:

Integrate

In this section, your unique APP ID are generated.

• Depending on the application platform selection, the steps to integrate the basic SDK are be listed along with its code snippets.
• As you complete each step, make sure to select Mark as done checkbox to confirm all the steps are followed and implemented correctly.

📘

NOTE

Once you select Mark as done checkbox and moved to the next step, you cannot deselect them.

• Integration of basic SDK enable features such as In-app messages and System events tracking automatically.

Refer to the following to understand the SDK integrations:

• Native
• React Native
• Cordova

Click Next to save the changes for integration section and and move to the next step.

Add device

Adding a test device enables you to validate your basic integration as well as all other features for the app. Click the ADD TEST DEVICE button to add a test device.

In Deeplink Schema section provide a custom URL scheme for pairing your device as a test device. Follow the below steps to configure a custom URL scheme.

Provide the following information to add a test device:

Adding a test device is optional. You can skip this step and move directly to the "Features" section.

Features

In this section, you are able to see all the features that are available for your application.

In-app messages and System events tracking are in TEST mode as they get enabled automatically along with the base SDK integration. You can now directly test these two features here if you have added a test device in the previous section.

In-app Messages

To send a test in-app to your test device, click TEST on the in-app messages card.

If you have already integrated your test device then it appears in the drop-down list in the Select test device section. Select the devices you want to send the in-app message to and then click SEND TEST MESSAGE button. You need to close and re-launch your app to receive the test in-app message. A success or failure message is shown on the panel.

Refer here to know more about in-app messages.

System Events Tracking

In this section, you can interact with your application and perform different system events and validate them from this section.

Refer to Sample Events Sheet by business vertical.

Select the test device from the drop-down list in Select test device section. All system events perform from that device would be listed here along with the payloads under event value column. You can validate the date and time and the events performed from here to check if they are being tracked correctly. Under the Check dropped events section view the events that were dropped(if any).

📘

Note

Events performed by test devices would be stored in the panel for only upto 2 days from the performed date.

App Push Notification

To enable this feature, you have to integrate the SmartPush SDK. Click the ENABLE button to view the steps for integration.

App Inbox

You can enable App Inbox feature from here.
However please reach out to your Account manager, onboarding manager or Customer Service manager for this feature or send any email to our support team from the panel.

Custom events tracking

In this section, you can interact with your application and perform different custom events and validate them from this section.

Refer to Sample Events Sheet by business vertical.

Select the test device from the drop-down list in Select test device section. All custom events perform from that device would be listed here along with the payloads under event value column. You can validate the date and time and the events performed from here to check if they are being tracked correctly. Under the Check dropped events section view the events that were dropped(if any).

User tracking

Refer here for user tracking implementation steps.

Location tracking and Geofencing

You can enable location tracking as well as the geofence feature for your app by following these simple steps. Like all other features, you can also test its functioning using your test device. It shows the actual location of your test device if the integration is done correctly.

Refer here for Location tracking implementation.
