TealiumConfig

Class: TealiumConfig

The following summarizes the commonly used methods and properties of the iOS (Swift) TealiumConfig class.

addRemoteCommand()

Adds remote commands for later execution.

addRemoteCommand(command)

The following example, placed prior to Tealium initialization, shows how add remote commands:

#if os(iOS)
let remoteCommand = RemoteCommand(commandId: "test",
        description: "test") { response in
			print("Remote Command 'test' executed")
}
config.addRemoteCommand(remoteCommand)
#endif

adobeVisitorAuthState

Sets the current authentication state for the visitor.

Example:

config.adobeVisitorAuthState = .authenticated
config.adobeVisitorAuthState = .loggedOut
config.adobeVisitorAuthState = .unknown

adobeVisitorCustomVisitorId

Sets the known visitor ID to the Adobe ECID, if it’s known at initialization time. If the ECID changes in the future, call linkECIDToKnownIdentifier to update the visitor ID.

config.adobeVisitorCustomVisitorId = "20381482060927465156359999806251989655"

adobeVisitorDataProviderId

Sets the data provider ID, provided by Adobe, which is required when linking an ECID to a known ID.

config.adobeVisitorDataProviderId = "01"

adobeVisitorExistingEcid

Sets the existing ECID from a previous installation to be used, such as the Adobe SDK, instead of requesting a new ECID.

Example:

config.adobeVisitorExistingEcid = "20381482060927465156359999806251989655"

adobeVisitorOrgId

String containing the Adobe Org ID including the @ portion. If the Org ID is not provided, the module is not initialized and no visitor ID is retrieved. Tracking calls continue as normal without an Adobe ECID.

config.adobeVisitorOrgId = STRING_VALUE

Example:

config.adobeVisitorOrgId = "1A2A111A111150AA0A110A12@AdobeOrg"

adobeVisitorRetries

The number of allowed invalid visitor ID retries before a request fails, which results in tracking calls being sent anyway without an ECID.

Example:

config.adobeVisitorRetries = 5

appDelegateProxyEnabled

Enables the AppDelegate proxy to automatically deep link tracking and initiate a Tealium trace session from a deep link. The property is enabled and set true by default. To disable, set property to false.

config.appDelegateProxyEnabled = false

autoTrackingBlocklistFilename

For use with the AutoTracking Module.

Sets the name of the block list file that contains a list of views to omit from automatic tracking. The file should be available in the Android assets directory.

config.autoTrackingBlocklistFilename = "autotracking-blocklist.json"

autoTrackingBlocklistURL

For use with the AutoTracking Module.

Sets a URL to a JSON formatted block list file that contains a list of views to omit from automatic tracking.

config.autoTrackingBlocklistUrl = "https://example.com/autotracking-blocklist.json"

autoTrackingCollectorDelegate

For use with the AutoTracking Module.

The global delegate set on the TealiumConfig object that executes for views tracked by the AutoTracking module. Edit this delegate to customize the data included with specific views.

config.autoTrackingCollectorDelegate = myCollectorDelegate

batchingBypassKeys

Sets a list of event names for which batching is bypassed (sent as individual events).

config.batchingBypassKeys = ["home_screen"]

batchingEnabled

Enables or disables event batching. Disabled by default.

config.batchingEnabled = true

batchSize

Sets the amount of events to combine into a single batch request. Maximum is 10.

config.batchSize = 8

Collectors

Collectors are modules that gather supplemental information from the device and append it to the data layer before it’s transmitted to the Tealium Customer Data Hub. Some collectors are included in the core library, while others are optional and installed as separate modules.

The following table lists the available collectors. Default collectors are denoted by a * next to the collector name.

These modules are enabled or disabled using the TealiumConfig collectors property.

The following example adds to existing list of collectors you’re using:

config.collectors = [Collectors.AdobeVisitor]

connectivityRefreshEnabled

If enabled (default), the connectivity module checks for a connection at a specified interval (controlled via setConnectivityRefreshInterval). Queued dispatches are then sent as soon as a connection is resumed.

config.connectivityRefreshEnabled = true

connectivityRefreshInterval

Sets the default connectivity refresh interval in seconds. Default is 30 seconds if not set on the TealiumConfig instance.

config.connectivityRefreshInterval = 30

consentExpiry

Sets the expiration time of the user consent selections. Set this property when initializing Tealium. The default expiration times for consent selections are:

• CCPA: 395 days
• GDPR: 365 days
  

The following sets the consent expiry to 90 days.

config.consentExpiry = (90, .days)

consentLoggingEnabled

Enables the Consent Logging feature, which sends all consent status changes to Tealium Customer Data Hub for auditing purposes.

config.consentLoggingEnabled = true

consentPolicy

Sets the consent policy (defaults to GDPR). e.g. CCPA. Consent Manager is only enabled if this property is set.

config.consentPolicy = .ccpa

deepLinkTrackingEnabled

Enables or disables automatic tracking of standard deep links, such as links to the app from Facebook or other sources, as well as QR trace. Enabled by default.

config.deepLinkTrackingEnabled = true

desiredAccuracy

The accuracy of the location data that your app wants to receive.

config.desiredAccuracy = .best

The available desiredAccuracy options are:

diskStorageDirectory

Sets the directory to be used for disk storage. Default .caches.

config.diskStorageDirectory = .documents

dispatchListeners

Provides the option to add custom DispatchListeners to listen for tracking calls just prior to dispatch.

config.dispatchListeners = [self]

dispatchValidators

Provides the option to add custom DispatchValidators to control whether to dispatch, queue or drop events.

config.dispatchValidators = [self]

dispatchAfter

Number of events after which to automatically flush the queue.

config.dispatchAfter = 20

dispatchExpiration

Sets the dispatch expiration in days. If the device is offline for an extended period. Older events are deleted.

config.dispatchExpiration = 5

dispatchQueueLimit

Sets the maximum number of events to store in the event queue. If this number is reached, and the queue has not been flushed, the oldest events are deleted.

config.dispatchQueueLimit = 50

existingVisitorId

config.geofenceTrackingEnabled = false

geofenceUrl

Sets the URL of a hosted geofences file.

config.geofenceUrl = <String (url)>

hostedDataLayerExpiry

Sets an expiration on the hosted data layer data. If this property isn’t set, hosted data layer items persist for 7 days by default, and are re-downloaded from the CDN once this period has expired.

config.hostedDataLayerExpiry = (1, unit: .minutes)

Setting a shorter expiration time reduces mobile device battery life due to increased network requests.

hostedDataLayerKeys

Sets the hosted data layer keys (lookup variables) used by the hosted data layer module when retrieving data layer IDs.

config.hostedDataLayerKeys = ["product_view" : "product_id"]

isCollectEnabled

Provides option to disable the collect dispatcher. Mainly intended for use by remote publish settings.

config.isCollectEnabled = false

lifecycleAutoTrackingEnabled

Enables or disables lifecycle auto tracking. Default is true. If set to false and lifecycle launch/sleep/wake events are desired, they need to be manually called using the public methods in the LifecycleModule.

config.lifecycleTrackingEnabled = false

logger

Sets a custom logger conforming to the TealiumLoggerProtocol that replaces the current TealiumLogger.

The following example shows how to set your custom logger on the config object:

class CustomLogger: TealiumLoggerProtocol {
	// ... conforming to the TealiumLoggerProtocol
	// plus your own custom methods
}

class TealiumHelper {
	let config = TealiumConfig(...)
	var tealium: Tealium?
	let customLogger = CustomLogger()

	// ...

	private init() {
		config.logger = customLogger
		// ...
		tealium = Tealium(config: config)
	}
}

logLevel

Sets the log level property, which controls how much information is logged, to one of the following values:

config.logLevel = .debug

View your development logs in the Xcode console or the Mac Console app. View your production logs with the Console app by connecting your iOS device.

config.memoryReportingEnabled = true

minimumFreeDiskSpace

Sets the minimum free disk space in Megabytes for Disk Storage to be enabled

config.minimumFreeDiskSpace = 25

minutesBetweenRefresh

Determines how often to fetch the publish settings from the CDN

config.minutesBetweenRefresh = 15

onConsentExpiration

Callback to execute once consent selections expire.

config.onConsentExpiration = {
	// display consent modal
}

overrideCollectProfile

Overrides the Tealium Collect profile to send data to a different Tealium profile.

config.overrideCollectProfile = "main"

overrideCollectURL

Overrides the Tealium Collect URL to send data to a different endpoint. If using the event batching feature, also override the overrideCollectBatchURL property.

config.overrideCollectURL = url

The default URL is:

https://collect.tealiumiq.com/event/

The property is used to set a custom hostname or to set a specific region hostname. The following example sets the Tealium Collect base URL to stay within the EU Central region:

let url = "https://collect-eu-central-1.tealiumiq.com/event/"
config.overrideCollectURL = url

overrideCollectBatchURL

Overrides the Tealium Collect batch URL to send data to a different endpoint.

config.overrideCollectBatchURL = url

The default URL with event batching is:

https://collect.tealiumiq.com/bulk-event/

The method is typically used to set a custom hostname, or to set a specific region hostname. The following example sets the Tealium Collect base URL to stay within the EU Central region:

let url = "https://collect-eu-central-1.tealiumiq.com/bulk-event/"
config.overrideCollectBatchURL = url

overrideCollectDomain

Overrides the default Collect domain. Set the value to a hostname with the protocol excluded, such as my-company.com. Use this property for both batch and single event dispatches. If overrideCollectURL or overrideCollectBatchURL is populated, this property takes precedence.

config.overrideCollectDomain = "my-company.com"

publishSettingsProfile

Overrides the publish settings profile.

config.publishSettingsProfile = "main"

publishSettingsURL

Overrides the publish settings URL.

config.publishSettingsURL = "https://www.example.com/custom/publish/settings.html"

remoteAPIEnabled

Enables or disables remote_api event. Required for RemoteCommands module if DispatchQueue module in use. Default false.

config.remoteAPIEnabled = true

remoteCommands

Returns an array of all currently-registered remote commands.

The following example shows how to get an array of all currently-registered remote commands:

let remoteCommands = config.remoteCommands

remoteHTTPCommandDisabled

Disables the built-in remote HTTP command (see Swift Module: RemoteCommands).

config.remoteHTTPCommandDisabled = true

rootView

Sets the current UIView for WKWebView to be attached to. Only required if you have a complex view hierarchy, such as with a push notification, where auto-detection may fail.

let view = self.view
config.rootView = view

searchAdsEnabled

Enables or disables the Apple Search Ads API in the Attribution module (default: disabled).

config.searchAdsEnabled = true

shouldAddCookieObserver

If set to true (default), this method determines whether to add a WKWebView cookie observer in order to successfully migrate all cookies. If set to false, if multiple cookie observers are present then only one of them is called, which may cause some cookies to not migrate.

config.shouldAddCookieObserver = false

The shouldAddCookieObserver property permits using your own cookie observer during cookie synchronization, which requires a cookie observer to retrieve cookies on the main thread after setting them. This issue is caused by bugs in WKWebView, which prevents your own observer from being called.

shouldUseRemotePublishSettings

Sets the Mobile Publish Settings (version 1.9.0+) to enabled (default) or disabled.

config.shouldUseRemotePublishSettings = false

Mobile Publish Settings are enabled by default, and must be disabled if you don’t wish to use them. Configure the Mobile Publish Settings in iQ Tag Management, or disable the feature using config.shouldUseRemotePublishSettings = false in the Swift installation. Failure to do causes initialization failures and prevents tracking.

skAdAttributionEnabled

Enables or disables the Apple SKAdNetwork API in the Attribution module (default: disabled).

config.skAdAttributionEnabled = true

skAdConversionKeys

Dictionary defining the event for which to call the SKAdNetwork.updateConversionValue() method and the key to use as the conversion value.

config.skAdConversionKeys = ["purchase": "number_of_coins"]

In this case, the below event will equate to: SKAdNetwork.updateConversionValue(40)

tealium?.track("purchase", dataLayer: ["number_of_coins": 40])

tagManagementOverrideURL

Overrides the default URL used by the Tag Management module. This is needed if you are self-hosting your Tealium JavaScript files.

The following example shows how to override the default URL used by the Tag Management module.

let url = "https://tags.mycdn.com/utag/myaccount/myprofile/myenv/mobile.html"
config.tagManagementOverrideURL =  url

TealiumConfig()

Constructor for a TealiumConfig object. This object is required to initialize the library for your specific account.

TealiumConfig(account:String, profile:String, environment:String, optionalData:Dictionary, dataSource:String)

timedEventTriggers

A list of TimedEventTrigger objects for automatically tracking timed events.

config.timedEventTriggers = [TimedEventTrigger(start: "START_EVENT",
                                               stop: "STOP_EVENT",
                                               name: "TIMED_EVENT_NAME")]

The following are TimedEventTrigger parameters:

updateDistance

Sets the distance interval (meters) in which location updates are received.

Only use this method if useHighAccuracy is set to true.

config.updateDistance = <Double>

Usage example:

func start() {
      let config = TealiumConfig(account: "ACCOUNT",
                                 profile: "NAME",
                                 environment: "ENVIRONMENT",
                                 datasource: "DATASOURCE",
                                 optionalData: nil)
      // Tealium Location module config methods
      config.useHighAccuracy = true
      config.updateDistance = 150.0
  }

useHighAccuracy

Sets the location precision to low accuracy (default) or high accuracy.

The property is disabled by default, which sets the location precision to low accuracy. If the location enabled device moves 500 meters or more, then this is considered a significant location changes causing a location update. Location updates typically take longer than five minutes with this setting.

Learn more about Apple’s significant-change location service.

If enabled, the property sets the location of data precision to the highest possible accuracy. The initial event is delivered as quickly as possible and then continues to determine the location and delivers additional events, as necessary, when that data is available.

Learn more about Apple’s accuracy of location data.

Using high accuracy results in greater battery consumption for your device than low accuracy, due to more frequent location updates.

config.useHighAccuracy = <Bool>

Usage example:

func start() {
      let config = TealiumConfig(account: "ACCOUNT",
                                 profile: "NAME",
                                 environment: "ENVIRONMENT",
                                 datasource: "DATASOURCE",
                                 optionalData: nil)
      // Tealium Location module config methods
      config.useHighAccuracy = true
      config.updateDistance = 150.0
  }

webviewProcessPool

Prevent cookie synchronization issues if your app contains other webviews besides the Tealium Tag Management webview. If you use a webview in your app, create and retain a singleton WKProcessPool instance and set it prior to instantiating Tealium.

Example:

let processPool = MyApp.wkProcessPool
config.webviewProcessPool = processPool

webviewConfig

Permits a custom WKWebviewConfiguration object to be passed, which is used by the Tealium Tag Management webview. If using this option instead of webviewProcessPool option, set the singleton WKProcessPool via the customizable WKWebviewConfiguration processPool property.

It is recommended to use this option as it may be required if future API changes are made to WKWebView.

Example:

let processPool = MyApp.wkProcessPool
let configuration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
configuration.processPool = processPool
config.webviewConfig = configuration
