CocoaPods is the easiest way to add devtodev into your iOS project.
1. Firstly, install CocoaPods using:
2. In the project directory execute the command:
3. In the created Podfile add the dependency:
4. Finally, run the command in your Xcode project directory:
CocoaPods should download and install the devtodev library, and create a new Xcode workspace. Open this workspace in Xcode.
To connect the module for processing push notifications, you need to:
1. Download the latest devtodev SDK from the repository
2. Add DTDAnalytics.xcframework
to the project (check Do Not Embed)
The DTDMessaging plugin will not work without the DTDAnalytics main analytics plugin.
3.Add DTDMessaging.xcframework to the project (check Do Not Embed)
4. In the Xcode project settings, open the tab, and add: "Push Notifications" and "Background Modes" respectively
5. In the "Background Modes" section, enable "Remote notifications"
6. Add initialization to didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
method:
7. To handle SDK delegate methods, you need to add the implementation of the DTDMessagingDelegate
protocol
The DTDMessaging
module provides support for notifications with attachments. These notifications are available since iOS 10. Attachments support images, animated gifs and videos. To use this function, you will need to create a “Notification Service Extension“, for this create a new target in your application settings:
Open Xcode (File -> New -> Target). Select Notification Service Extension.
The next step is to modify the Notification Extension
class as follows:
Delete all auto-generated code.
Inherit Notification Extension
class from DTDMediaAttachmentExtension
Example:
DTDMessaging
moduleDTDMessagingDelegate
methodsDisplaying push notifications in Foreground state is available since iOS 10.0.
By default, according to Apple Push Notification Guidelines, the display of push notification in the Foreground state is disabled. In order to set the display method, you must:
Assign delegate for UNUserNotificationCenter
Or pass a parameter in the push notification constructor (_fg = 1
). In this case, the display method will be formed from the Notification settings.
Or delegate the system method userNotificationCenter willPresent notification
. In this case, the display properties will be taken from the developer.
An example of a delegated method implementation:
It is an OptionSet
that is used to pass push notification authorization and set up interactions with users.
The user can change the allowed parameters at any time in the notification settings.
Possible values:
DTDNotificationOptionProvisional
- Provisional push notifications appear in the user's Notification Center, but not on the lock screen. This type of push notification does not have to be explicitly allowed by the user. Start submitting them as soon as the user installs and runs your application. However, the user can also opt in/opt out of notifications, but they will need to do it explicitly.
This setting is used to prevent receiving push notification permission requests at the start, which is intrusive and most users refuse to receive them.
It is also important that when using the DTDNotificationOptionProvisional
setting, the user will be able to subscribe to explicit notifications only from the notification center settings.
DTDMediaAttachmentExtension
To handle the application attitude to displaying push notifications, you need to add a Notifications service Extension. And inherit NotificationService
from DTDMediaAttachmentExtension
DTDMessaging automatically swizzles notification tracking and APNS-token usage methods by default. If you want to disable the function, add the flag DTDMessagingSwizzlingEnabled
(boolean) in the app’s Info.plist
file and set it to NO (0). However, if you disable notification swizzling, you will need additional integration for accurate analytics:
For sending APNS-token to DTDMessaging:
For sending information about the application:
Note: If you disable automatic notification swizzling, DTDMessagingDelegate
methods will not be called.
