As software developers, we are constantly seeking ways to enhance our Objective-c products. Our primary focus is on delivering more value to our users and enhancing their overall experience.
One approach that's frequently discussed is the use of "feature flags." Feature flags provide a mechanism to activate or deactivate specific features within your application. This functionality serves as a valuable tool for testing new features and ensuring they perform as expected before a broader release to users.
However, introducing a new feature is only the initial step in the process. Once the feature is deployed, it becomes crucial to validate its adoption and utility among our user base. We must confirm whether the feature is actively utilized and delivering benefits to our users.
In this context, Palzin Track emerges as an invaluable solution. It simplifies the integration of event tracking within your Objective-c application and provides real-time monitoring capabilities. With Palzin Track, you can effortlessly track essential events in your application and closely monitor user interactions following the introduction of a new feature.
Consider an example where you are developing a Objective-c application that enables users to upload files. You wish to introduce a new feature allowing users to share these files directly with others. Palzin Track can be employed to monitor when a user shares a file with another user. This data can be leveraged to gauge the frequency of feature usage and even delve deeper by tracking user journeys to understand how users engage with it.
Connect Palzin Track to Objective-C
Simply use the following code snippets to monitor your new features using Palzin Track. Make sure to replace the YOUR_API_TOKEN with your API token and update the project and channel names.
Using Objective-C with NSURLSession
\#import
dispatch_semaphore_t sema = dispatch_semaphore_create(0);
NSMutableURLRequest \*request = \[NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:\[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://api.palzin.live/v1/log"\]
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy
timeoutInterval:10.0\];
NSDictionary \*headers = @{
@"Content-Type": @"application/json",
@"Authorization": @"Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
};
\[request setAllHTTPHeaderFields:headers\];
NSData \*postData = \[\[NSData alloc\] initWithData:\[@"{\"project\":\"my-project\",\"channel\":\"features\",\"event\":\"User Shared File\",\"description\":\"User shared a file with another user\",\"icon\":\"📩\",\"notify\":true}" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding\]\];
\[request setHTTPBody:postData\];
\[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"\];
NSURLSession \*session = \[NSURLSession sharedSession\];
NSURLSessionDataTask \*dataTask = \[session dataTaskWithRequest:request
completionHandler:^(NSData \*data, NSURLResponse \*response, NSError \*error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(@"%@", error);
dispatch_semaphore_signal(sema);
} else {
NSHTTPURLResponse \*httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse \*) response;
NSError \*parseError = nil;
NSDictionary \*responseDictionary = \[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:&parseError\];
NSLog(@"%@",responseDictionary);
dispatch_semaphore_signal(sema);
}
}\];
\[dataTask resume\];
dispatch_semaphore_wait(sema, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER);
