tvOS

tvOS is no longer supported. The Tealium iOS (Swift) library is recommended.

Requirements

• Tealium Customer Data Hub account
• Xcode 7+
• tvOS 9.0+
• 100KB available space in .ipa file size
• Bitcode compliant framework 

Sample Apps

To help familiarize yourself with the Tealium library, tracking methods, and best practice implementation, it is recommended to download the tvOS sample apps.

To abstract the Tealium implementation from the rest of your app, we recommend the use of the sample helper class. This gives you a single entry point from which to initialize and make tracking calls. It also allows you to update the code in your helper file, and not in every single header/method file.

Install

Install and manage Tealium dependencies for tvOS with CocoaPods. 

1. Add the following dependency to your Podfile:

   pod 'TealiumTVOS'

2. Download and install Tealium for tvOS.

   We recommend cloning the library (instead of downloading) to make it easier to update to future releases.

3. Add TealiumTVOS.framework to your project’s tvOS Extension target, and copy the framework to the project in the resulting dialog box.

4. In the target’s General: Embedded Binaries section, add the framework:

   TealiumTVOS.framework

Initialize

In the Application Delegate, or within a helper class setup method, invoke a Tealium instance with the following code:

let config = TEALConfiguration.init(account: "ACCOUNT",
                      profile: "PROFILE",
                      environment: "ENV",
                      datasource: "DATASOURCE")

guard let tealium = Tealium.newInstanceForKey("uniqueInstanceKey", configuration: config) else {
    // Any additional failure response here
    return
}

TEALConfiguration *configuration = [TEALConfiguration
                      configurationWithAccount:@"ACCOUNT"
                      profile:@"PROFILE"
                      environment:@"ENV",
                      datasource:@"DATASOURCE"];

Tealium *tealiumInstance1 = [Tealium newInstanceForKey:@"INSTANCE" configuration:configuration]; 

Track Views

Track screen views by calling trackViewWithTitle() with two parameters: the name of the screen and (optionally) contextual view data.

In any UIViewController’s viewDidAppear() method: 

Tealium.instanceForKey("uniqueInstanceKey")?.trackViewWithTitle(NSStringFromClass(self.classForCoder), dataSources: [:])

[[Tealium instanceForKey:@"INSTANCE"] trackViewWithTitle:NSStringFromClass([self class]) dataSources:nil];

The screen name is populated in the event data as screen_title.

Track Events

Track non-view events by calling trackEventWithTitle() with two parameters: an event name and (optionally) contextual event data. 

Tealium.instanceForKey("INSTANCE")?.trackEventWithTitle("EVENT_NAME", dataSources: [:])

[[Tealium instanceForKey:@"INSTANCE"] trackEventWithTitle:@"EVENT_NAME" dataSources:nil];

The event name is populated in the event data as tealium_event.
