2. PhoneGap Plugin Configuration




  1. In the xcode project, Go Staging folder and open config.xml. Add MTractionSDKTracker  feature in config.xml. Follow the screenshot : 
    <feature name="MTractionSDKTracker">
    <param name="ios-package" value="MTractionSDKTracker" />
    <param name="onload" value="true" />
    </feature>
    


    




3. Installs Tracking


Follow the below steps to track download conversions:


    

  1. Open your project info.plist available under the Supporting Files section in the Project File Navigator on Xcode. 
    Example: If your project name is mTractiontrackertest, then the plist file name shall be, mTractiontrackertest-Info.plist.
    2. 

  2. Add a new key in the Information Property List section of the selected project info.plist.
    Key = appToken
Value Type = String
Value = <App_Token>
         Note: The App_Token is provided to you as a part of the Application Registration process on the mTraction Platform. 

    3. 



  1. DEBUG Setting (Optional): Open your project info.plist available under the Supporting Files section in the Project File Navigator on Xcode. 
    Example

    If your project name is mTractionTracker, then the plist file name shall be, mTractionTracker-Info.plist.

    Key = mt_DebugMode
Value Type = Boolean
Value = YES (Debug On) or NO (Debug Off)
    

    Note:Ensure that the Debug Mode is set to “NO” before going live.


  1. Include the mTractionData.js and mtractiontracker.js to your index.html file. 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/mTractionData.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="js/mtractiontracker.js"></script>
    



  1. Call this method in your index.html. This method implements the functionality of “Tracking the Download Conversion”. 
    mTractionDownloadTracker: function()
    



Sample Code


< script type=”text/javascript” >
document.addEventListener(“deviceready”, onDeviceReady, true);
function onDeviceReady() {
mtractiontracker.mTractionDownloadTracker();
}
< /script>


4. App Session Tracking (Optional)


Note: App Session implementation is optional for your Application. However, for Active Sessions and Session duration related data - this needs to be configured in your Application. Also note that this can generate a lot of traffic and hence cost if the request is large.


To track App Session call the below callbacks in predefined methods in AppDelegate file.


-(void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application
{  
 [[MTraction mTractionManager]applicationWillResignActive];
}

-(void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
 [[MTraction mTractionManager]applicationDidBecomeActive];
}




5. In App Events Integration (Optional)




    

  • At this stage, you might be interested in implementing certain In App events that needs to be tracked in order to measure your Application’s User Engagement after being installed. We have provided a list of generic events that you may need to implement depending on its necessity to your Application. Please follow the documentation (with examples) to implement them on your Application: Generic In App Events Setup

    • 

  • Additionally, we have also provided sets of predefined In App events along with their respective keys setup (with example usage) based on the Industry or Vertical your Application is associated with. Please refer to the link to the various Vertical based Events integration guides: Vertical Specific Events Setup Guides

    • 

  • Additionally, you can implement custom events to track specific behavior on your application. Please follow the documentation (with example): Custom Events Setup Guide

    • 





6. Application Push Notifications(Optional)


Follow the below steps to track download conversions:


    

  1. Open your project info.plist available under the Supporting Files section in the Project File Navigator on Xcode. 
    
Example: If your project name is mTractiontrackertest, then the plist file name shall be, mTractiontrackertest-Info.plist.
    2. 

  2. Add a new key in the Information Property List section of the selected project info.plist info.plist.  
    Key = mt_PushNotification
Value Type = Boolean
Value = YES
         

    3. 

  3. Enable Push Notifications from Capabilities in your Xcode project.Follow the screenshot. 
    


    

    4. 

  4. Enable Remote Notifications in Background Modes from Capabilities in your Xcode project. Follow the screenshot. 
    


    

    5. 

  5. Configure Push Notification- Call this method in your index.html. This method register the functionality of “Push Notification”. 
    registerDevice: function()
    

    Sample Code
    

    < script type=”text/javascript” >
document.addEventListener(“deviceready”, onDeviceReady, true);
function onDeviceReady() {
            mtractiontracker.registerDevice();
< /script>
    

    6. 

  6. Setting up the Push Notification Handlers   
    

    Application State : In-Active/Background   
    When a push notification is received while the application is not in the foreground, it is displayed in the iOS Notification Center.  When We click on push massage open app and handle by pushNotificationCallBack method. 
    Call this method in your index.html. 
    onPushNotificationBackgroundCallBack
    

    Sample Code
    

    < script type=”text/javascript” >
document.addEventListener(“deviceready”, onDeviceReady, true);
function onDeviceReady() {
            mtractiontracker.onPushNotificationBackgroundCallBack();
< /script>
    

    Application State : Active/Foreground   
     If the notification is received while the app is active, it is up to the app to handle it. To do so, we can implement the pushNotificationCallBack method in the mtractiontracker.js file. 
    Also developer can set custom/own message box in this method. 
    onPushNotificationForegroundCallBack: function()
    

    Sample Code
    

    < script type=”text/javascript” >
document.addEventListener(“deviceready”, onDeviceReady, true);
function onDeviceReady() {
            mtractiontracker.onPushNotificationForegroundCallBack();
< /script>
