Description

Affise SDK is a software you can use to collect app usage statistics, device identifiers, deeplink usage, track install referrer.

Quick start

Integration

Integrate as Cocoapods

To add the SDK using Cocoapods, specify the version you want to use in your Podfile:

// Get pod from repository
pod 'AffiseAttributionLib', '~> 1.6.1'

// Get source directly from GitHub
pod 'AffiseAttributionLib', :git => 'https://github.com/affise/sdk-ios.git', :tag => '1.6.1'

Initialize

After library is added as dependency sync project with gradle files and initialize.

Demo app AppDelegate.swift

For swift use:

import AffiseAttributionLib

@main
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    var window: UIWindow?

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        // Override point for customization after application launch.
        let properties = AffiseInitProperties(
            affiseAppId: "Your appId", //Change to your app id
            secretKey: "Your secretKey" //Change to your appToken
        )
        Affise.shared.load(app: application, initProperties: properties, launchOptions: launchOptions)

        return true
    }
}

For objective-c use:

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import <AffiseAttributionLib/AffiseAttributionLib-Swift.h>


@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.

    AffiseInitProperties *initProperties = [[AffiseInitProperties alloc] 
        initWithAffiseAppId:@"Your appId" //Change to your app id
        secretKey:@"Your secretKey" //Change to your appToken
    ];
    [Affise.shared loadWithApp:application initProperties:initProperties launchOptions:launchOptions];

    return YES;
}
@end

StoreKit Ad Network

To add the SDK using Cocoapods, specify the version you want to use in your Podfile:

// Get pod from repository
pod 'AffiseSKAdNetwork', '~> 1.6.1'

// Get source directly from GitHub
pod 'AffiseSKAdNetwork', :git => 'https://github.com/affise/sdk-ios.git', :tag => '1.6.1'

For use:

For ios prior 15.4

import AffiseSKAdNetwork

AffiseSKAdNetwork.shared()?.registerAppForAdNetworkAttribution(completionHandler: { error in                
    // Handle error
})

AffiseSKAdNetwork.shared()?.updateConversionValue(conversionValue, completionHandler: { error in
    // Handle error
})

For ios 15.4

import AffiseSKAdNetwork

AffiseSKAdNetwork.shared()?.updatePostbackConversionValue(fineValue, completionHandler: { error in
    // Handle error
})

For ios 16.1

import AffiseSKAdNetwork

AffiseSKAdNetwork.shared()?.updatePostbackConversionValue(fineValue, coarseValue, completionHandler: { error in
    // Handle error
})

Configure your app to send postback copies to Affise:

Add key NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint to Info.plist Set key value to https://affise-skadnetwork.com/

Example: example/ios/Runner/Info.plist

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
    <dict>
      <key>NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint</key>
      <string>https://affise-skadnetwork.com/</string>
    </dict>
</array>

Events tracking

For example, we want to track what items usually user adds to shopping cart. To send event first create it with following code

class Presenter {
    func onUserAddsItemsToCart(items: String) {
        let items = [
            ("items", "cookies, potato, milk")
        ]
        Affise.shared.sendEvent(event: AddToCartEvent("groceries").apply {
            $0.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedString.DESCRIPTION, string: "best before 2029")
            $0.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedObject.CONTENT, object: items)
        })
    }
}

For objective-c use:

- (void)onUserAddsItemsToCart:(NSString *)itemsToCart {
    NSArray *items = @[
        @{"items", itemsToCart}
    ];

    Event *event = [[AddToCartEvent alloc] initWithAddToCartObject:@"groceries"];
    [event addPredefinedParameterWithParameter:PredefinedString.ADREV_AD_TYPE value:@"best before 2029"];
    [event addPredefinedParameterWithParameter:PredefinedObject.CONTENT object:items];

    [Affise.shared sendEventWithEvent: event];
}

With above example you can implement other events:

• AchieveLevel
• AddPaymentInfo
• AddToCart
• AddToWishlist
• ClickAdv
• CompleteRegistration
• CompleteStream
• CompleteTrial
• CompleteTutorial
• Contact
• ContentItemsView
• CustomizeProduct

• InitiateCheckout
• InitiatePurchase
• InitiateStream
• Invite
• LastAttributedTouch
• Lead
• ListView
• Login
• OpenedFromPushNotification
• Purchase
• Rate
• ReEngage
• Reserve
• Sales
• Schedule
• Search
• Share
• SpendCredits
• StartRegistration
• StartTrial
• StartTutorial
• SubmitApplication
• Subscribe
• TravelBooking
• UnlockAchievement
• Unsubscribe
• Update
• ViewAdv
• ViewCart
• ViewContent
• ViewItem
• ViewItems
• InitialSubscription
• InitialTrial
• InitialOffer
• ConvertedTrial
• ConvertedOffer
• TrialInRetry
• OfferInRetry
• SubscriptionInRetry
• RenewedSubscription
• FailedSubscriptionFromRetry
• FailedOfferFromRetry
• FailedTrialFromRetry
• FailedSubscription
• FailedOfferise
• FailedTrial
• ReactivatedSubscription

Custom events tracking

Use any of custom events if default doesn't fit your scenario:

• CustomId01
• CustomId02
• CustomId03
• CustomId04
• CustomId05
• CustomId06
• CustomId07
• CustomId08
• CustomId09
• CustomId10

Predefined event parameters

To enrich your event with another dimension, you can use predefined parameters for most common cases. Add it to any event:

class Presenter {
    func onUserAddsItemsToCart(items: String) {
        let items = [
            ("items", "cookies, potato, milk")
        ]
        Affise.shared.sendEvent(event: AddToCartEvent("groceries", timeStampMillis: Int64(Date().timeIntervalSince1970 * 1000)).apply {
            $0.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedString.DESCRIPTION, string: "best before 2029")
            $0.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedObject.CONTENT, object: items)
        })
    }
}

For objective-c use:

- (void)onUserAddsItemsToCart:(NSString *)itemsToCart {
    NSArray *items = @[
        @{"items", itemsToCart}
    ];

    Event *event = [[AddToCartEvent alloc] initWithAddToCartObject:@"groceries"
                                                   timeStampMillis:NSDate.date.timeIntervalSince1970];
    [event addPredefinedParameterWithParameter:PredefinedString.ADREV_AD_TYPE value:@"best before 2029"];
    [event addPredefinedParameterWithParameter:PredefinedObject.CONTENT object:items];

    [Affise.shared sendEventWithEvent: event];
}

In examples above PredefinedParameters.DESCRIPTION and PredefinedObject.CONTENT is used, but many others is available:

Events buffering

Affise library will send any pending events with first opportunity, but if there is no network connection or device is disabled, events are kept locally for 7 days before deletion.

Push token tracking

To let affise track push token you need to receive it from your push service provider, and pass to Affise library. First add firebase integration to your app completing theese steps: Firebase Docs

After you have done with firebase inegration, add to your cloud messaging service onNewToken method Affise.share.addPushToken(token)

func messaging(_ messaging: Messaging, didReceiveRegistrationToken fcmToken: String?) {
  print("Firebase registration token: \(String(describing: fcmToken))")

  // New token generated
  Affise.share.addPushToken(fcmToken)
}

Reinstall Uninstall tracking

Affise automaticly track reinstall events by using silent-push technology, to make this feature work, pass push token when it is recreated by user and on you application starts up

Affise.share.addPushToken(token)

Deeplinks

To integrate deeplink support You can find out how to set up deeplinks in the official documentation.

Register deeplink callback right after Affise.share.init(..)

Affise.share.init(..)
Affise.shared.registerDeeplinkCallback { url in
    let component = URLComponents(string: url.absoluteString)!
    let screen = component.queryItems?.first(where: {$0.name == "screen"})?.value
    if let screen = screen, screen == "special_offer" {
        // open special offer activity
    } else {
        // open another activity
    }
}

Add deeplink handler to AppDelegate.swift as in app/app/AppDelegate.swift

func application(
    _ app: UIApplication,
    open url: URL,
    options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]
) -> Bool {
    Affise.shared.handleDeeplink(url: url)
    return true
}

Add key CFBundleURLTypes to Info.plist

Example: app/app/Info.plist

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
        <string>Editor</string>
        <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
        <string>YOUR_AFFISE_APP_ID.affattr.com</string>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
            <string>affise</string>
        </array>
    </dict>
</array>

Get random user Id

Use the next public method of SDK

Affise.shared.getRandomUserId()

Get random device Id

Use the next public method of SDK

Affise.shared.getRandomDeviceId()

WebView tracking

Initialize WebView

To integrate the library into the JavaScript environment, we added a bridge between JavaScript and the native SDK. Now you can send events and use the functionality of the native library directly from Webview. Here are step by step instructions:

// retreive WebView from view hierarhy
@IBOutlet weak var webView: WKWebView!

// make sure javascript is enabled
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    webView.configuration.preferences.javaScriptEnabled = true
}

// initialize WebView with Affise native library
Affise.shared.registerWebView(webView)

Other Javascript enviroment features is described below.

Events tracking JS

Demo app index.html

After WebView is initialized you send events from JavaScript enviroment

let data = { card: 4138, type: 'phone' };
let event = new AddPaymentInfoEvent({
  userData: 'taxi',
};

event.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedString.PURCHASE_CURRENCY, 'USD');
event.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedFloat.PRICE, 2.19);
event.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedObject.CONTENT, data);

Affise.sendEvent(event);

Just like with native SDK, javascript enviroment also provides default events that can be passed from WebView:

• AchieveLevelEvent
• AddPaymentInfoEvent
• AddToCartEvent
• AddToWishlistEvent
• ClickAdvEvent
• CompleteRegistrationEvent
• CompleteStreamEvent
• CompleteTrialEvent
• CompleteTutorialEvent

Predefined event parameters JS

Each event can be extended with custom event parameters. By calling addPredefinedParameter function you can pass predefined parameters

For example:

let event = ...

event.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedString.PURCHASE_CURRENCY, 'USD');
event.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedFloat.PRICE, 2.19);
event.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedLong.QUANTITY, 1);
event.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedObject.CONTENT, { card: 4138, type: 'phone' });
event.addPredefinedParameter(PredefinedListObject.CONTENT_LIST, [{content:'songs'}, {content:'videos'}]);

Affise.sendEvent(event);

Custom events JS

If above event functionality still limits your usecase, you can allways extend Event class to override fields you are missing

class MyCustomEvent extends Event {
    constructor(args) {
        super('MyCustom', args)
    }
}
