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.

If you are loading both Heap and Contentsquare SDK, replace these dependencies by the CSQ SDK.

Replace the Heap and Contentsquare dependency imports with a unified CSQ SDK import.

import HeapSwiftCore
import HeapContentsquareIntegrationSDK
import HeapIOSAutocapture
import HeapNotificationAutocapture
import ContentsquareModule
import ContentsquareSDK

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

1. Delete Heap.shared.startRecording() and migrate configuration to the unified CSQ.start() method.
   • Standalone
   • Unified CSQ

     Reach out to your Customer Success Manager for more information.

   Heap.shared.startRecording("YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID", with: [
     // ...options
   ])
   
   CSQ.start(
     environmentID: "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID",
     options: [
       // ...options
     ]
   )

2. Recommended for UIKit Enable Autocapture with .enableNativeAutocapture: true and remove the call to Heap.iOSAutocaptureSource.register()

   • Standalone
   • Unified CSQ

   CSQ.start(
     environmentID: "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID",
     options: [
       // ...options
       .enableNativeAutocapture: true
     ]
   )
   
   Heap.iOSAutocaptureSource.register(isDefault: true)

3. Remove HeapContentsquareIntegration.bind().
   Sending Heap pageviews to Contentsquare

   HeapContentsquareIntegration.bind(
     sendHeapPageviewsToContentsquare: false,
     sendContentsquareScreenviewsToHeap: true
   )

   • Standalone
   • Unified CSQ

     Onboard to Unified CSQ, our latest, all-in-one platform offering.

     Reach out to your Customer Success Manager for more information.

   HeapContentsquareIntegration.bind(
     sendHeapPageviewsToContentsquare: true,
     sendContentsquareScreenviewsToHeap: false
   )
   
   CSQ.start(
     environmentID: "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID",
     options: [
       // ...options
       .disablePageviewAutocapture: true
     ]
   )

4. (Optional) If you were relying on the Contentsquare SDK autostart, remove the CSDisableAutostart property and calls to Contentsquare.start().

   <key>CSDisableAutostart</key>
   <true/>

   Contentsquare.start()

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

import UIKit
import ContentsquareSDK

// In viewDidLoad()
optinButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(optInButtonTapped), for: .touchUpInside)

@objc func optInButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
  CSQ.start(environmentID: "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID")
  CSQ.optIn()
  // Continue with post-consent navigation or UI update
}

import UIKit
import ContentsquareSDK

// In viewDidLoad()
optinButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(optInButtonTapped), for: .touchUpInside)

@objc func optInButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
  CSQ.start(dataSourceID: "YOUR_DATASOURCE_ID")
  CSQ.optIn()
  // Continue with post-consent navigation or UI update
}

Once tracking has started, you're able to take full advantage of the CSQ SDK API to identify users, track custom events, and more.

Contentsquare's Product Analytics module will also automatically start tracking a wide range of user interactions, view controller changes, and app version changes without any additional code.

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.

Contentsquare.start()
Heap.shared.startRecording("YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID")
CSQ.start(environmentID: "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID")

Contentsquare.forgetMe()

You can use CSQ.optOut() instead to forget user id and stop tracking. If needed call CSQ.optIn() when you want to resume tracking.

Session timeout definition changed:

• Before: 30 minutes after app goes to background
• Now: 30 minutes after last event

This may affect session counts and aligns with web and market standards.

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, https://github.com/ContentSquare/CS_iOS_SDK.git.

Your import Heap and import Contentsquare declarations have been updated to import ContentsquareSDK.

You no longer have references to Heap. (except if you are using webviews), HeapContentsquareIntegration., or Contentsquare. methods in your codebase.

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