Learn how to track analytics events in your iOS app


The SPAnalyticsEventDelegate allows you to track analytics events.



Track Events

Use the following steps to track analytics events:

  1. Implement the SPAnalyticsEventDelegate protocol.
extension ViewController: SPAnalyticsEventDelegate {
    internal func trackEvent(type: SPAnalyticsEventType, event: SPAnalyticsEventInfo) {
        switch type {
        case .userProfileClicked:
            print("Spot.IM Analytics Event - " + event.eventType)
        // More types can be handled here ...
        default:
            print("Spot.IM Analytics Event - " + event.eventType)
        }
    }
}

  1. Add more events in the switch sentence, according to your requirements.

  2. Set self as SPAnalyticsEventDelegate.
