Overview
The Sensorberg SDK is a powerful toolkit for integrating beacon technology into your iOS applications. With this SDK, you can easily detect and interact with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, allowing you to create location-based experiences and personalized messaging.
Features
- Effortlessly detect and range nearby beacons
- Trigger specific actions when entering, exiting, or staying in a beacon’s range
- Deliver personalized messaging based on a user’s proximity to beacons
- Easily integrate beacon functionality into any iOS application
- Flexible and customizable beacon monitoring and ranging options
- Detailed monitoring and ranging events to track user interactions with beacons
Installation
To install the Sensorberg SDK in your iOS project, follow these steps:
- Open your project in Xcode
- Add the Sensorberg SDK dependency to your project using one of the following methods:
- CocoaPods: Add the following line to your Podfile and run ‘pod install’:
pod 'SensorbergSDK'
- Manual Installation: Download the SDK from the official GitHub repository and manually add the framework to your Xcode project.
- Import the Sensorberg SDK framework into your Swift or Objective-C file:
// Swift
import SensorbergSDK
// Objective-C
@import SensorbergSDK;
Getting Started
To get started with the Sensorberg SDK, follow these steps:
- Initialize the Sensorberg SDK in your AppDelegate:
- Request user permission to use location services:
- Implement the necessary delegate methods to respond to beacon events:
// Swift
// Inside AppDelegate.swift
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
SensorbergSDK.shared.configure(with: "YOUR_API_KEY")
SensorbergSDK.shared.start()
return true
}
// Objective-C
// Inside AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[[SensorbergSDK shared] configureWith:@"YOUR_API_KEY"];
[[SensorbergSDK shared] start];
return YES;
}
Replace “YOUR_API_KEY” with your actual Sensorberg API key, which you can obtain from the Sensorberg developer portal.
// Swift
// Inside your view controller
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
// Objective-C
// Inside your view controller
@import CoreLocation;
@interface ViewController () <CLLocationManagerDelegate>
@property (nonatomic, strong) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
@end
@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.locationManager = [CLLocationManager new];
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
@end
// Swift
// Inside your view controller
extension ViewController: SBSDKBeaconDelegate {
func didEnterBeaconRegion(beacon: SBSDKBeacon) {
// Handle enter event
}
func didExitBeaconRegion(beacon: SBSDKBeacon) {
// Handle exit event
}
func didRangeBeacons(beacons: [SBSDKBeacon]) {
// Handle ranging event
}
}
// Objective-C
// Inside your view controller
@interface ViewController () <SBSDKBeaconDelegate>
@end
@implementation ViewController
- (void)didEnterBeaconRegion:(SBSDKBeacon *)beacon {
// Handle enter event
}
- (void)didExitBeaconRegion:(SBSDKBeacon *)beacon {
// Handle exit event
}
- (void)didRangeBeacons:(NSArray<SBSDKBeacon *> *)beacons {
// Handle ranging event
}
@end
