## Installation
To install bmsanalytics, please follow the steps below:
1. Open your terminal.
2. Navigate to your project directory.
3. Run the following command to install the bmsanalytics SDK via CocoaPods:
“`bash
pod ‘bmsanalytics’
“`
4. Once the installation is complete, import the bmsanalytics module in your code.
## Getting Started
To get started with bmsanalytics, you need to initialize the SDK and start tracking events. Follow the steps below to get started:
1. Import the bmsanalytics module in your code.
2. Initialize the SDK using your API key.
“`swift
BMSAnalytics.initializeWithApiKey(“YOUR_API_KEY”)
“`
3. Enable automatic tracking of common events:
“`swift
BMSAnalytics.setAutoAppLifecycleEventTracking(true)
“`
4. Start tracking custom events:
“`swift
BMSAnalytics.trackEvent(“Event Name”)
“`
5. Ensure that your app has the necessary permissions and data privacy agreements in place to track analytics.
## Event Tracking
bmsanalytics provides powerful event tracking capabilities to help you gain insights into user behavior. To track events, use the `trackEvent` method. Follow the steps below to track events:
1. Import the bmsanalytics module in your code.
2. Track an event with a name:
“`swift
BMSAnalytics.trackEvent(“Event Name”)
“`
3. Optionally, you can add custom properties to provide additional context to your events:
“`swift
BMSAnalytics.trackEvent(“Event Name”, withProperties: [“Property 1”: “Value 1”, “Property 2”: “Value 2”])
“`
## User Identity
By identifying your users, you can analyze and track their behavior more effectively. Use the `userIdentity` methods to set and clear user identities. Follow the steps below:
1. Import the bmsanalytics module in your code.
2. Set a user identity:
“`swift
BMSAnalytics.setUserIdentity(“user@example.com”)
“`
3. Clear the current user identity:
“`swift
BMSAnalytics.clearUserIdentity()
“`
## Custom Properties
You can attach custom properties to events for better analysis and segmentation. Use the `setEventProperty` method to add custom properties. Follow the steps:
1. Import the bmsanalytics module in your code.
2. Set a custom event property:
“`swift
BMSAnalytics.setEventProperty(“Property Name”, withValue: “Property Value”)
“`
## Segments
Segments allow you to group your users based on shared characteristics and behaviors. This enables you to analyze specific subsets of your audience more effectively. Follow these steps to create segments:
1. Import the bmsanalytics module in your code.
2. Create a segment using a property:
“`swift
let segment = BMSAnalytics.segment(“Property Name”, matches: “Property Value”)
“`
3. Use the segment to filter reports and track events:
“`swift
BMSAnalytics.trackEvent(“Event Name”, withSegments: [segment])
“`
## Reporting
bmsanalytics provides powerful reporting capabilities to analyze and visualize your app’s analytics data. Generate meaningful reports to gain insights into user behavior, demographics, and engagement. Follow these steps:
1. Import the bmsanalytics module in your code.
2. Access data reports by using the `report` methods:
“`swift
let report = BMSAnalytics.report(ReportType.Engagement)
“`
3. Filter reports by segments:
“`swift
let segmentedReport = report.filter(bySegments: [segment])
“`
## Integrations
bmsanalytics seamlessly integrates with popular analytics platforms, such as Google Analytics, to provide enhanced reporting capabilities. Follow these steps to integrate with external platforms:
1. Import the bmsanalytics module in your code.
2. Enable integration with a platform:
“`swift
// Example: Enable Google Analytics integration
BMSAnalytics.enableGoogleAnalyticsIntegration(“YOUR_TRACKING_ID”)
“`
