iOS SDK Guide

This guide describes the steps to integrate the Collector framework into your iOS application.

Requirements

before starting the integration, ensure you have:

  • Access to the xcframework framework

Integration Steps

You'll recieve zip file containing the Swift Package. Complete the following steps to import the framework into your Xcode project:

  • Download the .zip which contains Collector Framework
  • Unzip the contents of the zip file
  • Move "Collector" folder inside your project. Place it as illustrated below.

Next steps:

  • Open your project in XCode

  • Select Project, Open Project Settings, Switch to Package Dependencies & Click add (+) (as illustrated below)

  • Adding package

  • Click "Add Local" (Image below).

  • add locally package

  • Select the package that you just moved to your project (Image below).

  • add locally

  • Now, Select all packages & select Target in which you wish to add those packages

  • After import you should see the "collector" in the project structure. (Image below)

Linking and Embedding the SDK Framework

Ensure that the dependency is available to your application, Open Project settings, select target, switch to General Tab & make sure that dependency is added as illustrated below.

Full example implementation

Below is an example HTML structure that demonstrates how to configure the SDK in your web application. This example includes links to the SDK and assets, configuration entries and the emit context button.

import UIKit
import collector

class TestViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {
    
    @IBOutlet weak var context: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet weak var customerId: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet weak var userId: UITextField!
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        context.delegate = self
        customerId.delegate = self
        userId.delegate = self
        
    }
    
    func sendContext(context: String) {
        Collector.shared.sendContext(context: context)
    }
    func initCollector(cid: String, baseUrl: String, csid: String, userID: String) {
        Collector.shared.initialize(cid: cid, baseUrl: baseUrl, csid: csid, userID: userID) {}
        Collector.shared.startListeningToEvents()
        Collector.shared.collect()
    }
    
    func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
        textField.resignFirstResponder()
        return true
    }

    @IBAction func citizenshipIDAction(_ sender: UIButton) {
        initCollector(
            cid: "test-ado",
            baseUrl: "https://bom.stats-qa.ado-tech.com",
            csid: customerId.text ?? "",
            userID: userId.text ?? ""
        )
    }
    
    @IBAction func identityCardAction(_ sender: UIButton) {
        sendContext(context: context.text ?? "")
    }
    
}
