Settings

The settings module in our SDK allows you to change some SDK behaviors by changing options directly from your application.

This article includes configuration instruction and lists the currently available methods.

Configuring SDK

To ensure proper configuration of the SDK, remember that there are two types of settings:

pre-initialization
dynamic

Some of the pre-initialization settings are optional. If you want to use them, they must be configured before Synerise SDK is initialized, before invoking the Synerise.initialize() method.

Pre-initialization settings:

Option	Default	Description
`Synerise.settings.sdk.appGroupIdentifier`	nil	Identifies the user’s default group used by applications and extensions that your app belongs to.
`Synerise.settings.sdk.keychainGroupIdentifier`	nil	Identifies the keychain group used by applications, extensions and services that your app belongs to.
`Synerise.settings.sdk.shouldDestroySessionOnApiKeyChange`	true	Specifies if a session should be destroyed after a Client’s API key changes.
`Synerise.settings.notifications.encryption`	false	Specifies if notifications from Synerise should be encrypted.

The rest of the options can be changed dynamically anytime.

Note: See advanced initialization example with all settings options and more in the Getting Started - Advanced Initialization section.

General

Enable/disable SDK

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.sdk.enabled`	`Bool`	true

This parameter specifies if the SDK functionalities are enabled.

Set up App Group Identifier

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.sdk.appGroupIdentifier`	`String`	nil

This parameter identifies the user defaults group used by applications and extensions belongs to.

Synerise SDK needs that configured to store your non-sensitive data and share it between your app and extensions.

Documentation is available at Apple Developer - App Groups.

Once configured, you need to set it up in the SDK:

Important: This option must be configured when Synerise SDK is initialized, before invoking the Synerise.initialize() method.

Synerise.settings.sdk.appGroupIdentifier = "YOUR_APP_GROUP_IDENTIFIER"

Set up Keychain Group Identifier

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.sdk.keychainGroupIdentifier`	`String`	nil

This parameter identifies the keychain group used by applications, extensions and services that your app belongs to.

Synerise SDK needs that configured to store your data safely and share it between your app and extensions.

Documentation is available at Apple Developer - Sharing Access to Keychain Items Among a Collection of Apps.

Once configured, you need to set it up in the SDK:

Important: This option must be configured when Synerise SDK is initialized, before invoking the Synerise.initialize() method.

Synerise.settings.sdk.keychainGroupIdentifier = "YOUR_KEYCHAIN_GROUP_IDENTIFIER"

Minimum time interval to refresh token

Parameter	Type	Default	Minimum Value	Maximum Value
`Synerise.settings.sdk.minTokenRefreshInterval`	`TimeInterval`	1800	1800	-

This parameter sets a time interval (in seconds) counting backwards from the expiration time. Within this time, the token will be automatically refreshed by the SDK.

Maintaining Client session on different API keys

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.sdk.shouldDestroySessionOnApiKeyChange`	`Bool`	true

This parameter specifies if session should be destroyed after client api key changes.

Important:

This option works only if you change the API key within one Business Profile.

To change the API key from a different Business Profile, use the following method: Client.changeApiKey().

Notifications

Enable/disable Push Notifications

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.notifications.enabled`	`Bool`	true

This parameter specifies if handling notifications by the SDK is enabled.

Notification Encryption

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.notifications.encryption`	`Bool`	true

This parameter specifies if notifications from Synerise should be encrypted.

Important: For more details on encryption, see this section.

Enable/disable In-App notification alerts

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.notifications.disableInAppAlerts`	`Bool`	true

This parameter determines whether the SDK displays an additional alert in the application after receiving a notification.

If you have your own notifications implementation, you can disable In-App notification alerts from the Synerise SDK.

Tracker

Minimum number of events in queue to send

Parameter	Type	Default	Minimum Value	Maximum Value
`Synerise.settings.tracker.minBatchSize`	`Integer`	10	1	100

This parameter sets a minimum number of events in queue required to send them.

Note: If the timer runs out, events are sent even if the queue is smaller than defined in minBatchSize.

Maximum number of events in queue to send

Parameter	Type	Default	Minimum Value	Maximum Value
`Synerise.settings.tracker.maxBatchSize`	`Integer`	100	1	100

This parameter sets a maximum number of events which may be sent in a single batch.

Timeout to send events automatically

Parameter	Type	Default	Minimum Value	Maximum Value
`Synerise.settings.tracker.autoFlushTimeout`	`TimeInterval`	5.0	0.5	-

This parameter sets the time (in milliseconds) required before an attempt is made to sent the queue.

Note: If the minimum queue size is met, events are sent even if the timer has not run out.

Setup for location event to be sent automatically

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.tracker.locationAutomatic`	`Bool`	false

This parameter specifies if location events are sent automatically.

Enable/disable Declarative Tracking

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.tracker.tracking.enabled`	`Bool`	true

This parameter specifies if the Declarative Tracking functionality is enabled.

Enable/disable auto-tracking

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.tracker.autoTracking.enabled`	`Bool`	true

This parameter specifies if auto-tracking functionality is enabled.

Auto-Tracking mode

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.tracker.autoTracking.mode`	`TrackerAutoTrackMode`	DISABLED

This parameter sets the mode of auto-tracking.

Available modes:

DISABLED - listeners are disabled (default).
EAGER - listeners are set to on-touch only.
PLAIN - listeners are set to on-click only.
FINE - listeners are attached to nearly everything in your app (even to activities and viewDidAppear, the method that records VisitedScreen events).

Classes excluded from Auto-Tracking

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.tracker.autoTracking.excludedClasses`	`Array`	[]

This parameter excludes classes from Auto-Tracking.

View Tags excluded from Auto-Tracking

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.tracker.autoTracking.excludedViewTags`	`Array`	[]

This parameter excludes view tags from Auto-Tracking.

Injector

Enable/disable automatic starting of Mobile Campaigns

Parameter	Type	Default
`Synerise.settings.injector.automatic`	`Bool`	false

This parameter specifies if Synerise Mobile Campaigns are processed automatically or not.
