Usage

Initialization

Initialize the SDK at app launch, typically in your AppDelegate or main view controller:
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
ShinaraSDK.instance.initialize(apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY>") { result in
switch result {
case .success:
print("Shinara SDK initialized successfully")
case .failure(let error):
print("Shinara SDK initialization failed")
}
}
return true
}
}

Referral Code Validation

To validate a referral code, use the validateReferralCode method. This method checks the validity of the given code.
Note: Ensure that the referral code is validated before initiating an In-App Purchase. This is crucial for proper attribution of the purchase to the referral code in the Shinara SDK.
ShinaraSDK.instance.validateReferralCode(code: referralCode) { result in
switch result {
case .success(let programId):
// Valid referral code
// programId can be used to map and apply discounts
print("Valid referral code with program ID: \(programId)")
case .failure(let error):
// Invalid referral code or error occurred
print("Validation failed: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}

User Registration (Optional)

By default, Shinara generates a new user id and attribute to the purchase. Optionally, you can provide your own userId and other user details to make sure attribution of the purchase has the user id of your choice.
Note: Ensure that the referral code is validated before registering a user. This is crucial for proper attribution of the user to the referral code in the Shinara SDK.
ShinaraSDK.instance.registerUser(
userId: "YOUR_INTERNAL_USER_ID",
email: "user@example.com", // Optional
name: "John Doe", // Optional
phone: "+1234567890" // Optional
) { result in
switch result {
case .success:
print("User registered successfully")
case .failure(let error):
print("Registration failed: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}

Purchase Tracking

The SDK automatically tracks and attributes in-app purchases. No additional code is required for basic purchase tracking. The SDK listens to StoreKit transactions and handles attribution automatically.
