Apigee iOS SDK Overview

There are 2 main areas of functionality provided: (1) App Services (Usergrid), and (2) App Monitoring. App Services provides server-side storage functionality. App Monitoring provides crash reporting, error tracking, application configuration management, and network performance monitoring. You may use both of these areas or decide to just use one of them.

Installing the SDK

  1. Add ApigeeiOSSDK.framework to your project.

  2. Add the following iOS frameworks to your project:

    CoreLocation.framework
    Security.framework
    CoreTelephony.framework
    QuartzCore.framework
    SystemConfiguration.framework
    UIKit.framework
  3. Add the following flags to 'Other Linker Flags' in 'Build Settings':

    -ObjC -all_load

    Confirm that flags are set for both 'DEBUG' and 'RELEASE'.

  4. Import the SDK in your code:

    #import <ApigeeiOSSDK/Apigee.h>
  5. Declare the following properties in AppDelegate.h:

    @property (strong, nonatomic) ApigeeClient *apigeeClient; //object for initializing the App Services SDK
    @property (strong, nonatomic) ApigeeMonitoringClient *monitoringClient; //client object for Apigee App Monitoring methods
    @property (strong, nonatomic) ApigeeDataClient *dataClient; //client object for App Services data methods
  6. Instantiate the 'ApigeeClient' class inside the 'didFinishLaunching' method of 'AppDelegate.m':

    //Instantiate the AppDelegate
    AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
    //Sepcify your App Services organization and application names
    NSString *orgName = @"YOUR-ORG";
    NSString *appName = @"YOUR-APP";
    //Instantiate ApigeeClient to initialize the SDK
    appDelegate.apigeeClient = [[ApigeeClient alloc]
                                initWithOrganizationId:orgName
                                applicationId:appName];
    //Retrieve instances of ApigeeClient.monitoringClient and ApigeeClient.dataClient
    self.monitoringClient = [appDelegate.apigeeClient monitoringClient]; //used to call App Monitoring methods
    self.dataClient = [appDelegate.apigeeClient dataClient]; //used to call data methods

Technical Details

  • The majority of the Objective-C classes make use of ARC.
  • Targeted for iOS 5.0 and newer.
  • Requires Xcode 5.0.2 (or newer) to build from source.

Building From Source

To build from source, issue this command from the /source directory of your repository:

    ./Scripts/framework.sh

Running Unit Tests

To run unit tests you can either use the Xcode IDE or Xcode's command line tools:

- From within the Xcode IDE, under the Product menu select Test.

- Using the command line issue the following command from the `\source` directory of your repository:

```xcodebuild -project ApigeeiOSSDK.xcodeproj -scheme “ApigeeiOSSDK Tests” -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator clean build test```

Compatibility with iOS 7

  • We have tested with iOS 7 and there are no known incompatibilities.
  • We do have support for NSURLSession in our capture of network performance metrics.

Explicitly Setting Xcode Version

The build script makes use of the default installation of Xcode. If you need to configure the build to use a different version of Xcode, please uncomment the code that assigns the path for DEVELOPER_DIR in source/Scripts/dist.sh.

New Functionality for Usergrid

New classes (ApigeeCollection, ApigeeEntity, ApigeeDevice, ApigeeGroup) to make working with entities and collections easier. The functionality has been modeled after our JavaScript and PHP SDKs.

Migrating from Usergrid

  1. All classes named with 'UG' prefix are now named with 'Apigee' prefix (UGClassName becomes ApigeeClassName)
  2. UGClient is now named ApigeeDataClient
  3. Initialization is performed with ApigeeClient (new class)
