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

Log in to the Netcore CE dashboard. Navigate to Settings > Apps, 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 set up the iOS application:

Integrate

In this section, your unique APP ID is generated.

• Depending on the application platform selection, the steps to integrate the basic SDK are listed along with its code snippets.
• As you finish each step, check the Mark as done box. This helps confirm that you have followed and completed all the steps correctly.

📘

NOTE

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

• Integrating basic SDK enables features such as in-app messages and system events to be tracked automatically.

Refer to the following to learn about the SDK integrations:

• Native
• React Native
• Cordova

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

Add device

Adding a test device lets you confirm your basic integration and all other app features. Click the ADD TEST DEVICE button to add a test device.

In the Deeplink Schema section, provide a custom URL scheme for pairing your device as a test device. Follow the steps given below 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 can see all the available features for your application.

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

In-app Messages

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

If you have already integrated your test device, it will appear in the drop-down list in the Select test device section. Select the devices you want to send the in-app message to, then click the SEND TEST MESSAGE button. You must close and relaunch your app to receive the test in-app message. A success or failure message will be shown on the panel.

Refer here to know more about in-app messages.

System Events Tracking

This section allows you to interact with your application, perform different system events, and validate them.

Refer to Sample Events Sheet by business vertical.

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

📘

Note

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

App Push Notification

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

App Inbox

You can enable the App Inbox feature from here. However, contact your Account manager, onboarding manager, or Customer Service manager for this feature or email our support team from the dashboard. Refer to this document to create a support ticket.

Refer here to learn more about the app inbox.

Custom events tracking

This section allows you to interact with your application, perform custom events, and validate them.

Refer to Sample Events Sheet by business vertical.

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

User tracking

Refer here for user tracking implementation steps.

Location tracking and Geofencing

Follow these steps to enable location tracking and the geofence feature for your app. Like all other features, you can also test their functioning using your test device. If the integration is done correctly, it will show the actual location of your test device.

Refer here for Location tracking implementation.
