Swift SDK Geofence & Location

This SDK is developed using the Swift programming language. Unlike our existing iOS SDK, we provide integration support with Swift Package Manager (SPM). You can take advantage of Swift's expressive and intuitive nature, enabling you to create sophisticated applications with ease.

If you are using a Podfile, please add the following dependencies. If you are not using a Podfile, these additions are not necessary.

pod "NetmeraLocation"
pod "NetmeraGeofence"

Netmera SDK does not gather any location information from the device:

By default, Netmera SDK does not gather any location information from the device. If you want to use Netmera features requiring location information such as geofence messages and filtering target users by location, you must enable location tracking for your application.

For using location to target your users, you should enable Location History from the web panel. In order to do that, follow these steps:

Developers -> App Info -> App Config -> Location History Enabled

Step 1. Enable Location Tracking for Your Application

Add appropriate authorization strings to your application target's Info.plist file

• If your application will use geofence messages and supports iOS 10 and earlier, you must set NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription key and add a proper description explaining why your app will use region monitoring, for iOS 11 and above you must set NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription and a proper description.

  • In this case, SDK will monitor region enter/exit actions for geofence regions configured inside Netmera Dashboard.

• If your application only needs occasional location history information, you can set NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key and add a proper description.

  • In this case, SDK will send the most recent location only once per session.

Step 2. Request Location Authorization

Request location authorization from user by calling the following method in an appropriate place:

Netmera.requestLocationAuthorization()

Setting max regions for geofence:

You can set max regions for Geofence with setNetmeraMaxActiveRegions method. If you set max active regions' number greater than 20 or smaller than 0, it will be set as the default which is 20.
