From Heap Core SDK to CSQ SDK

This guide provides a step-by-step upgrade process from your current installation of Heap Mobile to the latest version of the CSQ SDK.
Heap Core SDK

Heap Core SDK

CSQ SDK

CSQ SDK

The latest version of our SDK provides a unified set of APIs for Product Analytics, Experience Analytics, and Experience Monitoring, eliminating redundant APIs that perform the same actions.

Upgrading to the latest version ensures you benefit from all our newest features and product enhancements.

You must update the following dependency based on your current version of the SDK.

CSQ SDK (https://͏github.com/ContentSquare/apple-sdk.git < 1.0)

If you are already using a version of the CSQ SDK earlier than 1.0, update to the latest version.

  1. In your XCode project > Package Dependencies, update the repository location:

    https://github.com/ContentSquare/apple-sdk.git
    https://github.com/ContentSquare/apple-sdk-prereleases.git
  2. Set the Dependency Rule to Exact Version 1.1.0-rc.1.

  3. To ensure the library can start properly, add -ObjC as a linker flag under Build Settings > Linking - General > Other Linker Flags.

Heap Core SDK (https://͏github.com/heap/heap-swift-core-sdk.git)

Replace the Heap Swift Core SDK by the CSQ SDK.

  1. In your XCode project > Package Dependencies, update the repository location:

    https://github.com/heap/heap-swift-core-sdk.git
    https://github.com/ContentSquare/apple-sdk-prereleases.git
  2. Set the Dependency Rule to Exact Version 1.1.0-rc.1.

  3. To ensure the library can start properly, add -ObjC as a linker flag under Build Settings > Linking - General > Other Linker Flags.

Replace the Heap Core SDK import with a unified CSQ SDK import.

import HeapSwiftCore
import ContentsquareSDK

Follow these steps to start the CSQ SDK with your current configuration.

  1. Migrate configuration options from Heap.startRecording() to CSQ.configureProductAnalytics().
    Heap.startRecording("YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID",
    CSQ.configureProductAnalytics(
    environmentID: "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID",
    )
  2. Recommended for UIKit Enable Autocapture with .enableUIKitAutocapture: true and remove the call to Heap.iOSAutocaptureSource.register()

    CSQ.configureProductAnalytics(
    environmentID: "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID",
    additionalOptions: [
    .enableUIKitAutocapture: true
    ]
    )
    Heap.iOSAutocaptureSource.register(isDefault: true)
  3. Add a call to CSQ.start(this) after the configuration call.

    CSQ.configureProductAnalytics(
    environmentID: "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID",
    additionalOptions: [
    .enableUIKitAutocapture: true
    ]
    )
    CSQ.start(this)

The CSQ SDK treats users as opted-out by default.

import UIKit
import ContentsquareSDK
optinButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(optInButtonTapped), for: .touchUpInside)
@objc func optInButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
CSQ.start()
CSQ.optIn()
...
}

Implement the optIn() API to forward user consent to the SDK and generate a user ID.

Search and replace all legacy SDK API calls in your app to the latest CSQ APIs using the following mappings. Updating your API calls ensures continued functionality without disruption.

In most cases, this process consists in updating the namespace and method names, with no changes to parameters.

Heap.startRecording()
CSQ.start()

Congratulations! You’re all set. Use this checklist to ensure everything is correctly updated.

Ensure that your build files no longer reference https://github.com/heap/heap-swift-core-sdk.git.

Your import HeapSwiftCore declarations have been updated to import ContentsquareSDK.

You no longer have references to Heap. methods in your codebase.

All calls to the CSQ SDK use the CSQ.namespace.
