AmplitudeSwift is a powerful iOS library for tracking user events and generating behavioral analytics. With its simple and intuitive API, you can easily incorporate event tracking and analytics into your iOS applications.
## Key Features
– **Track Events**: Easily track events specific to your application, such as button clicks, page views, or in-app purchases.
– **User Properties**: Measure user characteristics by setting user properties, such as age, location, or subscription status.
– **Funnel Analysis**: Analyze user behavior and measure conversion rates through funnel analysis.
– **Retention Analysis**: Understand user engagement and retention over time.
– **Real-Time Analytics**: Get real-time access to user event data, allowing instant analysis of user behavior.
– **Easy Integration**: Quickly integrate AmplitudeSwift into your iOS project with minimal setup effort.
## Installation
To start using AmplitudeSwift, follow these steps:
1. Install the AmplitudeSwift dependency using CocoaPods:
“` html
pod ‘Amplitude-iOS’
“`
2. Open your project’s workspace and import the Amplitude framework:
“` swift
import Amplitude_iOS
“`
## Quick Start
To get started with AmplitudeSwift, follow these steps:
1. Initialize the Amplitude tracker by adding the following code to your AppDelegate.swift file:
“` swift
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
let apiKey = “
Amplitude.instance().initializeApiKey(apiKey)
return true
}
“`
2. Track an event by calling the `logEvent` method:
“` swift
Amplitude.instance().logEvent(“
“`
## Setting User Properties
You can set user properties to track characteristics specific to each user. Use the `setUserProperties` method as shown below:
“` swift
let properties = [“age”: 25, “location”: “New York”, “subscription”: true]
Amplitude.instance().setUserProperties(properties)
“`
## Funnel Analysis
Funnel analysis enables you to measure user conversion rates at each step within a defined series of events. Use the following methods to set up and analyze funnels:
1. Set up a funnel by specifying the sequence of events using unique event names:
“` swift
let funnel = Amplitude.instance().startFunnel([“
“`
2. Track events corresponding to each step in the funnel:
“` swift
Amplitude.instance().logEvent(“
Amplitude.instance().logEvent(“
Amplitude.instance().logEvent(“
“`
3. Complete the funnel analysis using the `eventWithEventProperties` method:
“` swift
Amplitude.instance().eventWithEventProperties(“
“`
## Retention Analysis
Retention analysis helps you understand user engagement and retention over time. Use the built-in methods as follows:
1. Enable tracking of user activity in your AppDelegate.swift file:
“` swift
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
Amplitude.instance().startSession()
}
func applicationDidEnterBackground(_ application: UIApplication) {
Amplitude.instance().endSession()
}
“`
2. Analyze user retention with the `setEventUploadPeriodSeconds` method:
“` swift
Amplitude.instance().setEventUploadPeriodSeconds(
“`
3. Get the number of retained users for a specified time interval:
“` swift
let numberOfRetainedUsers = Amplitude.instance().numberOfSessions(1, minTime:
“`
## Real-Time Analytics
AmplitudeSwift allows you to access user event data in real-time for instant analysis of user behavior. Use the following methods for real-time analytics:
1. Get the current number of new and total events logged:
“` swift
let newEventsCount = Amplitude.instance().newEventCount()
let totalEventsCount = Amplitude.instance().eventCount()
“`
2. Export the current user’s events:
“` swift
let events = Amplitude.instance().exportEvents()
“`
## Conclusion
