Completing the integration

Before following these steps, make sure you have integrated the Swift SDK for iOS using either Swift Package Manager or CocoaPods.

Update your app delegate

Add the following line of code to your AppDelegate.swift file to import the features included in the Braze Swift SDK:

1

import BrazeKit

Next, add a static property to your AppDelegate class to keep a strong reference to the Braze instance throughout your application’s lifetime:

1
2
3

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
  static var braze: Braze? = nil
}

Finally, in AppDelegate.swift, add the following snippet to your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method:

1
2
3
4
5
6

let configuration = Braze.Configuration(
    apiKey: "YOUR-APP-IDENTIFIER-API-KEY",
    endpoint: "YOUR-BRAZE-ENDPOINT"
)
let braze = Braze(configuration: configuration)
AppDelegate.braze = braze

Update YOUR-APP-IDENTIFIER-API-KEY and YOUR-BRAZE-ENDPOINT with the correct value from your App Settings page. Check out our API identifier types for more information on where to find your app identifier API key.

Add the following line of code to your AppDelegate.m file:

1

@import BrazeKit;

Next, add a static variable to your AppDelegate.m file to keep a reference to the Braze instance throughout your application’s lifetime:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

static Braze *_braze;

@implementation AppDelegate
+ (Braze *)braze {
  return _braze;
}

+ (void)setBraze:(Braze *)braze {
  _braze = braze;
}
@end

Finally, within your AppDelegate.m file, add the following snippet within your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method:

1
2
3
4

BRZConfiguration *configuration = [[BRZConfiguration alloc] initWithApiKey:"YOUR-APP-IDENTIFIER-API-KEY"
                                                                  endpoint:"YOUR-BRAZE-ENDPOINT"];
Braze *braze = [[Braze alloc] initWithConfiguration:configuration];
AppDelegate.braze = braze;

Update YOUR-APP-IDENTIFIER-API-KEY and YOUR-BRAZE-ENDPOINT with the correct value from your Manage Settings page. Check out our API documentation for more information on where to find your app identifier API key.

SDK integration complete

At this point, your basic integration should be complete. Braze should now be collecting data from your application. Follow the other articles in this integration guide to implement and customize the full range of Braze features and messaging channels.
