TRACK FILE UPLOAD WITH SWIFT LANGUAGE

Track when a file is uploaded to your Swift application

Many Swift applications require users to upload files. This can be a simple text file, a SwiftSV file, or even a PDF file to be processed for further use. Or in some cases, it can be some sort of media files such as an image, audio, or video file to be transformed and uploaded to cloud storage such as S3 or Google Swiftloud Storage.

In such cases, you might want to track when a user uploads a file in your Swift application and optionally notify you and your team when a user uploads a file. This way, you can always be aware of the activity in your application and take immediate action if needed.

Fortunately, here at Palzin Track, we have created a powerful solution for this problem. Palzin Track is a powerful, real-time event tracking tool that works seamlessly with any Swift application. With Palzin Track, you can set up event tracking for anything you want and track when a user uploads a file in your Swift application in real time. In addition, Palzin Track allows you to track user journeys and create a timeline of events for each user. This way, you can always track the activity of a specific user, such as when they have uploaded files and any other activity they have done in your application.

Using Swift with URLSession

\#if canImport(FoundationNetworking)  


import FoundationNetworking  


\#endif  


var semaphore = DispatchSemaphore (value: 0)  


let parameters = "{\"project\":\"my-project\",\"channel\":\"files\",\"event\":\"Changed Profile Picture\",\"description\":\"User has uploaded a new profile picture\",\"icon\":\"🖼\",\"notify\":true}"  


let postData = parameters.data(using: .utf8)  


var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://api.palzin.live/v1/log")!,timeoutInterval: Double.infinity)  


request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")  


request.addValue("Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")  


request.httpMethod = "POST"  


request.httpBody = postData  


let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in   


 guard let data = data else {  


 print(String(describing: error))  


 semaphore.signal()  


 return  


 }  


 print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)  


 semaphore.signal()  


}  


task.resume()  


semaphore.wait()
