Initializing the SDK

Swift
Objective-C
let configuration = FreshpaintConfiguration("<your environment id>")
configuration.trackApplicationLifecycleEvents = true;

iOS SDK API

track

The track call can be used to manually send data to your destinations.
Swift
Objective-C
Freshpaint.shared().track(
"Purchase",
properties: ["price": 500]
)
[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics]
track:@"Purchase"
properties:@{ @"price": @500 }];
Argument
Swift/Objective-C Type
Required
Description
event
String/NSString *
Yes
The name of the event to send.
properties
[String : Any]/NSDictionary *
No
Additional properties to attach to the event.

identify

The identify call attaches an identity or user properties to the user.
Swift
Objective-C
Freshpaint.shared().identify(
traits: [
"email": "[email protected]",
"name": "Ada Lovelace"
]
);
[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics]
identify:@"[email protected]"
traits:@{ @"email": @"[email protected]",
@"name": @"Ada Lovelace" }]
Argument
Swift/Objective-C Type
Required
Description
userId
String/NSString *
No
The id to attach to the user.
traits
[String : Any]/NSDictionary *
No
Additional user properties to attach to the user.

screen

The screen call triggers a screen event. This is the mobile equivalent of a pageview event. Some destinations will treat this event specially.
Swift
Objective-C
Freshpaint.shared().screen(
"Home Screen",
properties: ["A/B Test Variant": "A"]
);
[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics]
screen:@"Home Screen"
properties:@{ @"A/B Test Variant": @"A" }]
Argument
Swift/Objective-C Type
Required
Description
name
String/NSString*
Yes
The name of the screen.
properties
[String : Any]/NSDictionary *
No
Additional properties to attach to the event.

group

The group call associates the user with a user group. Some destinations let you work with groups of users. For example, Amplitude lets you group users together and then perform analytics on the individual groups. Most often, a group of users is all users that work for a single organization.
Swift
Objective-C
Freshpaint.shared().group(
"Google",
traits: [
"plan": "enterprise",
"sign-up-date": "04/04/2019"
]
);
[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics]
group:@"Google"
traits:@{ @"plan": @"enterprise",
@"sign-up-date": "04/04/2019" }]
Argument
Swift/Objective-C Type
Required
Description
groupId
String/NSString *
Yes
The id of the group to add the user to.
traits
[String : Any]/NSDictinoary *
No
Additional properties to attach to the group.

alias

The alias call can be used to specify one user id as an alias for another user id. Calling this will alias the current user's identity to the new provided identity. This is needed to implement identify for some destinations, specifically Mixpanel and Kissmetrics.
Swift
Objective-C
Freshpaint.shared().alias("[email protected]")
[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics] alias:@"[email protected]"];
Argument
Swift/Objective-C Type
Required
Description
newId
String/NSString *
Yes
The id you want to alias the current user's identity to.

reset

The reset call clears any local Freshpaint data attached to this user. This does not clear any local data for any of your destinations. For example this may be useful if a user logs out and logs in to a different account.
Swift
Objective-C
Freshpaint.shared().reset()
[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics] reset]
