Former iOS Advertising ID

Important Note ✅:

We strongly recommend referring to the updated SDK on Swift SDK Integration for incorporating Netmera into your projects. The previous iOS method, which you can find here, is being phased out and will not be supported in the long term. Transitioning to the new SDK will ensure that you have access to the latest features, improvements, and technical support.
