Swift Package Manager (SPM)

The iOS SDK can be installed through Swift Package Manager (SPM). SDK versions 1.23.0, 1.24.0 and 1.24.4+ currently support SPM.

Move to "File" → "Add Packages" in Xcode.
Add the Airbridge iOS SDK Search for "https://github.com/ab180/airbridge-ios-sdk-deploy" once the "Add Packages" window pops up. Select the version to be installed and click the "Add Package" button.
Select Target for Package Installation.
Check Package Installation. Airbridge will be shown under "Package Dependencies" if the SDK was properly installed.

Direct Installation

1. Adding the `AirBridge.framework`

Download AirBridge.framework
Click "Xcode → Project file → General → Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content → +"
Click "Add Other.. → Add Files.." at the bottom right hand corner
Add the AirBridge.xcframeworkfolder that is in the file downloaded at step 1.
Set AirBridge.xcframeworkas "Do not Embed".

2. Adding Dependency Frameworks

Click "Xcode → Project file → General → Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content → +".
Add the 6 frameworks in the table below.
Set these frameworks as "Do not Embed"
Go to "Xcode → Project file → Build Phase → Link Binary with Libraries".
Set the below six frameworks' statuses to Optional.

Framework	Description
AdSupport.framework	Used to collect IDFA.
iAd.framework	Used to collect Apple search ads attribution.
CoreTelephony.framework	Used to collect carrier information.
StoreKit.framework	Used to collect SKAdNetwork information.
AppTrackingTransparency.framework	Used to collect tracking authorization status.
AdServices.framework	Used to collect Apple Search Ads attribution information. (iOS 14.3+)

Project Setup

Initialization

Initialize SDK by adding following code at the beginning of the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method in the AppDelegate file.

123456
#import <AirBridge/AirBridge.h>

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions {
    [AirBridge getInstance:@"YOUR_APP_TOKEN" appName:@"YOUR_APP_NAME" withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];
    ...
}

123456
import AirBridge

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    AirBridge.getInstance("YOUR_APP_TOKEN", appName:"YOUR_APP_NAME", withLaunchOptions:launchOptions)
    // ...
}

If you're using an environment where AppDelegate doesn't exist (e.g. SwiftUI), you would initialize the SDK through the App class under @main.

1234567891011121314151617
// YourprojectApp.swift

import SwiftUI
import AirBridge

@main
struct OnlyUIApp: App {
    init() {
        AirBridge.getInstance("YOUR_APP_TOKEN", appName: "YOUR_APP_NAME")
    }
    
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

YOUR_APP_NAME can be found at the "Airbridge dashboard → Settings → Tokens → App Name". YOUR_APP_TOKEN can be found at the "Airbridge dashboard → Settings → Tokens → App SDK Token".

Accept IDFA Terms and Conditions

In order to use the SDK, you must agree to the "IDFA terms and conditions" when publishing the application to the App Store.

Click "Yes" to "Does this app use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA)?
Check "Attribute this app Install to a previously served advertisement".
Check "Attribute an action taken within this app to a previously served advertisement".
Check "Limit Ad Tracking Setting in iOS".

Testing the SDK

Check if "install" events are being sent when installing and running the application.

Check in the Airbridge Dashboard

Events from the SDK are shown on the "Airbridge Dashboard → Raw Data → App Real-time Logs".

Go to "Airbridge Dashboard → Raw Data → App Real-time Logs".
Search for your "iOS IDFA" in the search box.

Logs may be delayed for up to 5 minutes.

Check with Logs

Logs will be printed to Xcode if you insert the following at the beginning of the code that initializes the SDK in your AppDelegate file.

12
[AirBridge setLogLevel:AB_LOG_ALL];
[AirBridge getInstance:@"YOUR_APP_TOKEN" appName:@"YOUR_APP_NAME" withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];

Deep Link Setup

Dashboard Setup

The following information is needed at "Airbridge Dashboard → Tracking Link → Deep Link".

iOS URI Scheme
iOS App ID

iOS URI Scheme

Enter the URI scheme that will be used, including ://, in the iOS URI Scheme area as shown in the picture above.

e.g. example://, yoururischeme://

Attention
Airbridge supports lowercase, numbers, and some special characters (-, +, .) for URI Schemes.

iOS App ID

Go to Identifiersat https://developer.apple.com/account/resources.
Click identifier of the application that you want to track.
Copy the identifier information to "iOS App ID" at the Airbridge dashboard in the following format: "App ID Prefix" + "." + "Bundle ID" (e.g. 9JA89QQLNQ.com.apple.wwdc)

Project Setup

Scheme

Go to "Xcode → Project file → Info → URL Types".
From the Airbridge dashboard, copy "iOS URI Scheme" to Xcode's "URL Schemes". (Do not include ://)

Universal Link

Go to "Xcode → Project file → Signing & Capabilities".
Click "+ Capability" and add "Associated Domains".
Add applinks:YOUR_APP_NAME.airbridge.ioto "Associated Domains".
Add applinks:YOUR_APP_NAME.deeplink.pageto "Associated Domains".

YOUR_APP_NAME can be found at the "Airbridge dashboard → Settings → Tokens → App Name".

Please refer to Troubleshooting → Webcredentials if you want to use the autofill feature.

Send deeplink information to SDK

For projects using `AppDelegate`

Events are usually sent through the application(_:open:options:) method in AppDelegate for apps that support iOS 12 and below.

Open ios/[Project name]/AppDelegate.

Send deeplink information to the SDK when the application is opened through schemes by calling the handleURLSchemeDeeplink method at the beginning of the following function.

12345678
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
            openURL:(NSURL *)url
            options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey, id>*)options
{
    [AirBridge.deeplink handleURLSchemeDeeplink:url];

    return YES;
}

12345678
func application(_ app: UIApplication,
                 open url: URL,
                 options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool
{
    AirBridge.deeplink()?.handleURLSchemeDeeplink(url)
    
    return true
}

Send deeplink information to the SDK when the application is opened through an universal link by calling the handleUserActivitymethod at the beginning of the following function.

12345678
-  (BOOL)application:(UIApplication*)application
continueUserActivity:(NSUserActivity*)userActivity
  restorationHandler:(void (^)(NSArray* _Nullable))restorationHandler
{
    [AirBridge.deeplink handleUserActivity:userActivity];

    return YES;
}

12345678
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
                 continue userActivity: NSUserActivity,
                 restorationHandler: @escaping ([UIUserActivityRestoring]?) -> Void) -> Bool
{
    AirBridge.deeplink()?.handle(userActivity)
    
    return true
}

Attention
Links are forwarded to SceneDelegate, not AppDelegate, for projects using SceneDelegate. Please refer to the next section on how to receive deep links through SceneDelegate.

For projects using `SceneDelegate`

Deep links are forwarded to the following methods for projects that use SceneDelegate and support iOS 13+.

When the application was loaded from a "Not running" status.
- scene(_:willConnectTo:options:)
All other situations (e.g. background)
- Universal link: scene(_:continue:)
- Scheme link: scene(_:openURLContexts:)

swift

123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536
import UIKit
import AirBridge

@available(iOS 13, *)
class SceneDelegate: UIWindowSceneDelegate {
    var window: UIWindow?

    // Receive links after the app's killed 
    func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
        if let schemeLinkURL = connectionOptions.urlContexts.first?.url {
            // Scheme
            AirBridge.deeplink()?.handleURLSchemeDeeplink(schemeLinkURL)
        } else if let userActivity = connectionOptions.userActivities.first {
            // Universal
            AirBridge.deeplink()?.handle(userActivity)
        }
        
        // ...
    }
  
    // Receive universal link
    func scene(_ scene: UIScene, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity) {
        AirBridge.deeplink().handle(userActivity)
        // ...
    }
  
    // Receive scheme link
    func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set<UIOpenURLContext>) {
        guard let schemeLinkURL = URLContexts.first?.url else {
             return
        }
        
        AirBridge.deeplink().handleURLSchemeDeeplink(schemeLinkURL)
        // ...
    }
}

For Projects using neither `AppDelegate` nor `SceneDelegate` (`SwiftUI`)

If you are using SwiftUI without SceneDelegate, deep links would be forwarded through onOpenURL. This method would be added to your App class under @main.

swift

123456789101112131415161718192021222324
import SwiftUI
import AirBridge

@main
@available(iOS 14, *)
struct OnlyUIApp: App {

    ...
    
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
                .onOpenURL { url in
                    if url.scheme != "http" && url.scheme != "https" {
                        // Scheme link
                        AirBridge.deeplink()?.handleURLSchemeDeeplink(url)
                    }
                }
                .onContinueUserActivity(NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb) { userActivity in
                    AirBridge.deeplink()?.handle(userActivity)
               }
        }
    }
}

Attention
If SceneDelegate is being used in your SwiftUI environment, onOpenUrl cannot be used. Please refer to the For projects using SceneDelegate section.

Deep link Callback Setting

If you are using `AppDelegate`

Open ios/[Project file]/AppDelegate.
Use the setDeeplinkCallbackmethod to setup the callback that will be called when the application is opened through a deep link.

12345678
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions {
    [AirBridge getInstance:@"YOUR_APP_TOKEN" appName:@"YOUR_APP_NAME" withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];

    [AirBridge.deeplink setDeeplinkCallback:^(NSString* deeplink) {
        // Deeplink from airbridge = YOUR_SCHEME://...
        NSLog(@"DeeplinkCallback : %@", deeplink);
    }];
}

123456789101112
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey:
Any]?) -> Bool {
    AirBridge.getInstance("YOUR_APP_TOKEN", appName: "YOUR_APP_NAME", withLaunchOptions: launchOptions)
    
    AirBridge.deeplink()?.setDeeplinkCallback({ (deeplink) in
        // Code to run when opening app with a deep link
        // Airbridge Deeplink = YOUR_SCHEME://...
        NSLog("DeeplinkCallback : %@", deeplink)
    })
    
    return true
}

If you are not using `AppDelegate` (`SwiftUI`)

Please add the following method to the App class under @main.

swift

12345678910111213141516171819
import SwiftUI
import AirBridge

@main
@available(iOS 14, *)
struct OnlyUIApp: App {
    init() {
        AirBridge.getInstance("YOUR_APP_TOKEN", appName: "YOUR_APP_NAME")
        AirBridge.deeplink()?.setDeeplinkCallback { deeplink in
            print(deeplink)
        }
    }
    
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

All deep links that open apps are sent to DeeplinkCallback Of those deep links, "Airbridge deep links" will be sent using the "iOS URI Scheme" (YOUR_SCHEME://...) that was set in the Airbridge dashboard.A deferred deep link will be sent to DeeplinkCallback if ATT status is approved or a timeout occurs. A deferred deep link will contain a deferred=true query parameter.

For Airbridge iOS SDK 1.10.0 ~ 1.10.9, the "Airbridge deep link" will be sent as https://YOUR_APP_NAME.airbridge.io/....For Airbridge iOS SDK ~1.9.10, the "Airbridge deep link" will be sent as either https://YOUR_APP_NAME.airbridge.io/... or YOUR_SCHEME://....

Custom Domain Setting (Optional)

If you are using a custom domain as an Airbridge tracking link, follow the below steps. (Replace example.com with custom domain)

Go to "Xcode → Project file → Signing & Capabilities → Associated Domains".
Click "+" button and add applinks:example.com.
Open info.plist.
Add the following value.

Test Deep Link

Check if the application is run and the deep link event is sent when "Airbridge deep links" are clicked on. Make sure that the deep link follows the "iOS URI Scheme" format configured in your Airbridge dashboard. (e.g. example://)

Click deep link
See if the deep link event appears at "Airbridge dashboard → Raw Data → App Real-time Logs"

User Setup

User Identifier Setup

Once a user identifier information is sent to the SDK, all events thereafter will contain the corresponding user identifier information.

12345678
[AirBridge.state setUserID:@"personID"];
[AirBridge.state setUserEmail:@"persondoe@airbridge.io"];
[AirBridge.state setUserPhone:@"1(123)123-1234"]

// user alias changed with inserted dictionary.
[AirBridge.state setUserAlias:@{@"key": @"value"}];
// key, value is inserted to existed user alias.
[AirBridge.state addUserAliasWithKey:@"key" value:@"value"];

12345678
AirBridge.state()?.setUserID("personID")
AirBridge.state()?.setUserEmail("persondoe@airbridge.io")
AirBridge.state()?.setUserPhone("(123)123-1234")

// user alias changed with inserted dictionary.
AirBridge.state()?.setUserAlias(["key": "value"])
// key, value is inserted to existed user alias.
AirBridge.state()?.addUserAlias(withKey: "key", value: "value")

Name	Description	Limitations
ID	User ID	-
Email	User Email	Hashed by default (SHA256, can be disabled)
Phone	User phone number	Hashed by default (SHA256, can be disabled)
Alias	User alias	- Maximum 10 aliases - `key`type is NSString, maximum 128 characters - `key`must satisfy `^[a-zA-Z_][a-z0-9_]*$`regex - `value`type is NSString, maximum 128 characters

User Attributes Setup

Additional user attributes can be used for a more accurate MTA (Multi-Touch Attribution) analysis, additional internal data analysis, and linking third-party solutions.

1234
// user attributes changed with inserted dictionary.
[AirBridge.state setUserAttributes:@{@"key": @"value"}];
// key, value is inserted to existed user attributes.
[AirBridge.state addUserAttributesWithKey:@"key" value:@"value"];

1234
// user attributes changed with inserted dictionary.
AirBridge.state()?.setUserAttributes(["key": "value" as NSObject])
// 기존의 user attributes 에 해당 key, value 가 추가됩니다.
AirBridge.state()?.addUserAttributes(withKey: "key", value: "value" as NSObject)

Name	Description	Limit
Attributes	User attributes	- Maximum 100 attributes - `key`type is NSString, maximum 128 characters - `key`must satisfy `^[a-zA-Z_][a-z0-9_]*$`regex - `value`type is NSString or NSNumber - Maximum 1024 characters for NSString type

Test User Information Setup

Make sure that your user information settings are being properly sent through the SDK.

Configure user identifier information.
Send an event using the SDK.
Click the event at "Airbridge dashboard → Raw Data → App Real-time Logs"
Check if the user information is correctly sent under the userblock.

Device Setup

Setup Device Alias

Setup a device alias through the Airbridge SDK. The alias will be sustained even after the app closes, unless otherwise deleted.

123
[AirBridge.state setDeviceAliasWithKey: "ADD_YOUR_KEY", value: "AND_YOUR_VALUE"];
[AirBridge.state removeDeviceAliasWithKey: "DELETE_THIS_KEY"];
[AirBridge.state clearDeviceAlias];

Method	Description
`setDeviceAlias(withKey: String, value: String)`	Add the key value pair to the device identifier.
`removeDeviceAlias(withKey: String)`	Delete the corresponding device alias.
`clearDeviceAlias()`	Delete all device aliases.

Event Setup

When important user actions occur, in-app events can be sent to measure the performance of each channel.

All event parameters are optional. However, more information about the event will help provide a more accurate analysis.

Sending Events

Send events with the SDK.

Test Event Transmission

Make sure that the events are being properly sent through the SDK.

Send an event with the SDK.
Check if the event shows up at "Airbridge dashboard → Raw Data → App Real-time Logs".

Advanced Setup

SDK Signature Setup

Protection against SDK spoofing is possible once you set up an SDK signature. Settings can be applied by calling setSDKSignatureSecret before the SDK initialization code.

123
[AirBridge setSDKSignatureSecretWithID: "YOUR_SDK_SIGNATURE_SECRET_ID", secret: "YOUR_SDK_SIGNATURE_SECRET"];

[AirBridge getInstance:@"YOUR_APP_TOKEN" appName:@"YOUR_APP_NAME" withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];

Please ask your CSM for the "SDK Signature Secret ID" and "SDK Signature Secret" values.

Hash User Information

email and phone information are hashed by default. (SHA256) Call setIsUserInfoHashed at the beginning of the code that initializes the SDK to change this setting.

1234
// Disable user information hashing
[AirBridge setIsUserInfoHashed:NO];

[AirBridge getInstance:@"YOUR_APP_TOKEN" appName:@"YOUR_APP_NAME" withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];

Session Timeout

Call setSessionTimeout at the beginning of the code that initializes the SDK to change this setting.

Session timeout is in milliseconds and must range between 0 and 604800000 (7 days).
Default value is 1000 * 60 * 5 (5 minutes).

123
[AirBridge setSessionTimeout:1000 * 60 * 5];

[AirBridge getInstance:@"YOUR_APP_TOKEN" appName:@"YOUR_APP_NAME" withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];

Privacy Protection

Use this function if privacy laws apply, and data should only be collected and transferred with consent. (e.g GDPR, CCPA)

If autoStartTrackingEnabled is set to NO (false) before the SDK initialization code, events will not be sent before the startTracking function is called. This includes events such as "deep link open".

12345
AirBridge.autoStartTrackingEnabled = NO;

[AirBridge getInstance:@"YOUR_APP_TOKEN" appName:@"YOUR_APP_NAME" withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];

[AirBridge startTracking];

Track Airbridge Links Only

The SDK will send all deep link events when the app is opened using a deep link.

If setIsTrackAirbridgeDeeplinkOnly is set as YES (true) at the beginning of the code that initializes the SDK, the SDK will only send deep link events that use "Airbridge deep links".

1234
// Send deeplink events only when application is opened with `Airbridge deeplinks`
[AirBridge setIsTrackAirbridgeDeeplinkOnly:YES];

[AirBridge getInstance:@"YOUR_APP_TOKEN" appName:@"YOUR_APP_NAME" withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];

Track Facebook Deferred App Links

The Airbridge SDK can track Facebook deferred App Links through the following settings.

Install the Facebook SDK: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/getting-started.
Open ios/[Project name]/AppDelegate.
Set setIsFacebookDeferredAppLinkEnabledto YES(true) at the beginning of the code that initializes the Airbridge SDK.

123
[AirBridge setIsFacebookDeferredAppLinkEnabled:YES];

[AirBridge getInstance:@"YOUR_APP_TOKEN" appName:@"YOUR_APP_NAME" withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];

Track Uninstall Event

Please refer to this page for more information on app uninstallation tracking.

Track Push Notification Deep Links

Use handleURLSchemeDeeplink to send the deep link event to the SDK when users click a push notification.

1234567891011121314151617181920212223
- (void)         application:(UIApplication *)application 
didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo 
      fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler 
{
    if (UIApplication.sharedApplication.applicationState == UIApplicationStateInactive) {
        NSURL* url = // deeplink of push notification's payload
        
        [AirBridge.deeplink handleURLSchemeDeeplink:url];
    }
}

- (void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center 
didReceiveNotificationResponse:(UNNotificationResponse *)response 
         withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(void))completionHandler API_AVAILABLE(ios(10.0)) 
{
    if (UIApplication.sharedApplication.applicationState == UIApplicationStateInactive
        && [response.actionIdentifier isEqual:UNNotificationDefaultActionIdentifier])
    {
        NSURL* url = // deeplink of push notification's payload
        
        [AirBridge.deeplink handleURLSchemeDeeplink:url];
    }
}

Track Authorize Timeout

When the AppTrackingTransparency.framework is used to present an app-tracking authorization request to the user, IDFA will not be collected when the install event occurs because the install event occurs before the selection.

If trackingAuthorizeTimeout is called before the SDK initialization code, the install event will be sent after the timeout period or delayed until an ATT option is selected.

trackingAuthorizeTimeout is in milliseconds. Install events can be delayed for as long as the trackingAuthorizeTimeout period. By default, trackingAuthorizeTimeout is reset every time the App restarts. To prevent this, you can set isRestartTrackingAuthorizeTimeout as NO or false.

A deferred deep link will be sent to DeeplinkCallback if ATT status is aprroved or a timeout occurs.

1234
AirBridge.setting.trackingAuthorizeTimeout = 120 * 1000;
AirBridge.setting.isRestartTrackingAuthorizeTimeout = NO;

[AirBridge getInstance:@"YOUR_APP_TOKEN" appName:@"YOUR_APP_NAME" withLaunchOptions:launchOptions];

1234
AirBridge.setting()?.trackingAuthorizeTimeout = 120 * 1000
AirBridge.setting()?.isRestartTrackingAuthorizeTimeout = false

AirBridge.getInstance("YOUR_APP_TOKEN", appName:"YOUR_APP_NAME", withLaunchOptions:launchOptions)

Event Buffer Limit

When an event transmission failure occurs, the Airbridge SDK will store the event and retry at a later time. The following settings will allow you to limit the storage used for such events.

1234
// Event count limit
[AirBridge.setting setEventMaximumBufferCount:newValue]
// Event size limit (Byte)
[AirBridge.setting setEventMaximumBufferSize:newValue]

Track Life-Cycle Event Within Session

Airbridge doesn't track life-cycle event that occur within session timeout as default. You can track these events with below option.

1
[AirBridge.setting setTrackInSessionLifeCycleEventEnabled:YES];

Hybrid Application

While basic events (e.g. "install", "open", "deep link open") can be automatically tracked by only installing the iOS SDK in your hybrid app, in-app events (e.g. sign-up, purchase, etc.) cannot be tracked as they are actually in-browser events that occur within a website of the WebView environment. Airbridge provides a simpler way to track in-app events by enabling the iOS SDK to automatically pull all events from the web SDK that is installed on the website of the WebView environment. This replaces the hassle of having to create bridge functions between native and WebView environments.

Attention
Please note that in order to utilize this feature, both SDKs must be installed; Android SDK on the mobile native environment and web SDK on the website of the WebView environment.

Send WebView Environment Events

The Airbridge iOS SDK can send events instead of the Airbridge Web SDK installed on your WebView website.

Add Airbridge.webInterface under the WebView configuration controller.

12345678
WKWebViewConfiguration* configuration = [[WKWebViewConfiguration alloc] init];

WKUserContentController* controller = [[WKUserContentController alloc] init];
[AirBridge.webInterface injectTo:controller withWebToken:@"YOUR_WEB_TOKEN"];

configuration.userContentController = controller;
    
WKWebView* webview = [[WKWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero configuration:configuration];

12345678
let configuration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
        
let controller = WKUserContentController()
AirBridge.webInterface()?.inject(to: controller, withWebToken: "YOUR_WEB_TOKEN")
        
configuration.userContentController = controller
        
webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: configuration)

YOUR_WEB_TOKEN can be found at the "Airbridge dashboard → Settings → Tokens → Web SDK Token".

Troubleshooting

Webcredentials

If the app is using Autofill and no webcredentials are set, the application's autofill passwords are saved to applinks:YOUR_APP_NAME.airbridge.io or applinks:YOUR_APP_NAME.deeplink.page.

Follow the steps below to change the location of where the passwords will be saved to. Change example.com to the domain you will be saving autofill passwords to.

1. Host the following JSON at https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association.

JSON

12345
{
    "webcredentials": {
        "apps": ["TEAM_ID.APP_BUNDLE_ID"]
    }
}

TEAM_ID.APP_BUNDLE_ID example: 9JA89QQLNQ.com.apple.wwdc

2. Go to "Xcode → Project file → Signing & Capabilities → Associated Domains".

3. Click "+" and add webcredentials:example.com.

Bitcode Compile Error

Airbridge iOS SDK v1.28.0+ no longer supports Bitcode. (Bitcode has been deprecated since Xcode 14) This could lead to compile errors for the project if Bitcode is used.

Text

1
Textld: XCFrameworkIntermediates/AirBridge/AirBridge.framework/AirBridge(AirBridge-arm64-master.o)' does not contain bitcode. You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE)

Please add the following to your Podfile to prevent this.

Podfile

12345
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |configuration|
        configuration.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
    end
end

Or you can set "ENABLE_BITCODE" to "NO" in Xcode.

Please note that .ipa files using Bitcode are automatically deleted by the Appstore due to the Bitcode deprecation.

Issues with Building Using Xcode 13

Airbridge iOS SDK v1.28.0+ does not support Xcode 13, along with iOS 9 and iOS 10. If the above Xcode/iOS needs to be supported, please use iOS SDK v1.27.0 and below.
