Collect Module | Modules |Tealium Developer Docs

Usage

The Collect module dispatches tracking calls to Tealium Customer Data Hub. Usage of this module is strongly recommended if you are using Customer Data Hub server-side.

As an alternative, if you are using the Tag Management module, you may instead use the Collect tag via Tealium iQ. This may give greater control over the data and events dispatched to the Customer Data Hub, as you may then use load rules and extensions to manipulate the data prior to dispatch. If you are using the Collect tag via Tealium iQ, ensure that the Collect module is disabled to avoid duplicate tracking requests.

The following platforms are supported:

iOS
tvOS
watchOS
macOS

Install

Install the Collect module with Swift Package Manager, CocoaPods or Carthage.

Swift Package Manager (Recommended)

Supported in version 1.9.0+, the Swift Package Manager is the recommended and simplest way to install the Tealium Swift library:

In your Xcode project, select File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency
Enter the repository URL: https://github.com/tealium/tealium-swift
Configure the version rules. Typically, "Up to next major" is recommended. If the current Tealium Swift library version does not appears in the list, then reset your Swift package cache.
Select the Collect module from the list of modules to install and add it each of your app targets in your Xcode project, under Frameworks > Libraries & Embedded Content
