Track user sign in events in Objective-C
Most of the time, when building a Objective-C product that requires users to authenticate and sign in to access the product, you may decide that it is essential to track the sign-in attempts.
Monitoring the sign-in events is an excellent way to track the number of users who continue to log in and use your Objective-C application. This is a great way to gauge the effectiveness of your product and measure your user retention rate.
A good understanding of this metric is critical to the success of a product. It can give you great insight into how your business grows and how your users interact with your Objective-C product.
An easy way to set up event tracking is to use LogSnag, a simple event tracking tool that works seamlessly with Objective-C.
Start monitoring user sign-in events
- Sign up for a free LogSnag account.
- Create your first project from the dashboard.
- Head to settings and copy your API token.
Objective-C code snippets
All you have to do next is to copy the following code snippets into your Objective-C code and replace the YOUR_API_TOKEN
and project values with your API token and project name.
Using Objective-C with NSURLSession
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h> dispatch_semaphore_t sema = dispatch_semaphore_create(0); NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://api.logsnag.com/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-saas\",\"channel\":\"auth\",\"event\":\"User Signed In\",\"description\":\"email: john@doe.com\",\"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);
