App misuse
Introducing a new service to send information about application usage to our servers.
Usage
Please contact IMS sales to use this feature.
Importing the library
To use app misuse APIs, add the module dependency and initialize by sending login
, logout
, or userAppLaunch
events.
//Add IMSAppMisuse xcFramework to your project
import IMSAppMisuse
Initializing the Misuse Library(iOS)
Initialize the Misuse API by creating Identity
and PermissionManager
objects, then pass them to AppMisuseManager
.
import IMSAppMisuse
import IMSInterfaces
import IMSPermissions
import IMSBluetooth
let identity = Identity(apiKey: apiKey,externalReferenceID: userId)
let permissionManager = PermissionManager()
permissionManager.addPermissionProvider(CLLocationManager(), isRequired: true)
permissionManager.addPermissionProvider(CMMotionActivityManager(), isRequired: true)
// Add this, if app requires bluetooth permissions for trip detection
permissionManager.addPermissionProvider(BluetoothPermissionProvider(), isRequired: true)
// Servertype can be used based on two environments (.uat or .prod)
let serverType = .uat
let appMisuseService = AppMisuseManager(identity: identity, permissionManageable: permissionManager,serverType: serverType))
Calling Misuse API
There are a number of API's available depending on the service you require; choose and call the appropriate one accordingly. The serverType
can be .uat
or .prod
based on the deployment environment.
Enabling App misuse API
This API enables the Misuse API Service.
iOS SDK scheduler
Call the app misuse scheduler to send the event type every hour by calling
AppMisuseManager.enableAppMisuse()
Ensure to call the mentioned API within
application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:)
of app life cycle and register the scheduler key in theinfo.plis
t file for registering the scheduler.For more information on setup, check here.
Here's an example.
// Enable the scheduler in application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:)
AppMisuseManager.enableAppMisuse()
Disabling App misuse API
This API disables the AppMisuse API Service.
Here's an example.
appMisuseService.disableAppMisuse()
Misuse Login API
This API sends AppMisuse information on Login.
Here's an example.
appMisuseService.sendAppMisuseEvent(eventType: .login, serverType: .prod) { result in
switch result {
case .success:
// successful call
case .failure(let error):
// failed with \(error)
}
}
Misuse Logout API
This API sends AppMisuse information on Logout.
Here's an example.
appMisuseService.sendAppMisuseEvent(eventType: .logout, serverType: .prod) { result in
switch result {
case .success:
// successful call
case .failure(let error):
// failed with \(error)
}
}
Misuse User App Launch API
This API sends AppMisuse information on User Launch.
Here's an example.
appMisuseService.sendAppMisuseEvent(eventType: .userAppLaunch, serverType: .prod) { result in
switch result {
case .success:
// successful call
case .failure(let error):
// failed with \(error)
}
}
