  Syntax: + (BOOL)startup:(NSError **)error;

  Parameters:

Return Value: YES if the startup succeeds, else NO

startupWithConfig

This method initializes the SDK using the passed configuration.

  Syntax: + (BOOL)startupWithConfig:(ICConfig *)config error:(NSError **)error;

  Parameters:

  Return Value: YES if the startup succeeds, else NO

  Parameters:

  Return Value: YES if the startup succeeds, else NO

The default delegate method is (**BOOL**)application:(UIApplication*)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions.

startupWithLaunchOptions (with config)

This method initializes the SDK using the passed configuration options. An error can be passed in parameters, which will be set if something goes wrong during the startup process. This method is mandatory if IMIconnectConfiguration.plist is not used.

  Syntax: + (BOOL)startupWithLaunchOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions withConfig:(ICConfig *)config error:(NSError **)error

  Parameters:

The default delegate method is (**BOOL**)application:(UIApplication*)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions.

isStarted

This method is used check if the SDK is started.

  Syntax: + (BOOL)isStarted;

shouldEnableMethodSwizzling

This method enables/disables method swizzling for application life cycle methods and remote notifications methods based on shouldEnable parameter value.

  Syntax: `IMIconnect shouldEnableMethodSwizzling:BOOL value``

  Parameters:

[IMIconnect shouldEnableMethodSwizzling:YES];

[IMIconnect shouldEnableMethodSwizzling:NO];

shutdown

This method is used to clean up the SDK, freeing all internal object instances. Invoking this method will stop the SDK features from functioning as such Real-Time Messages and Push notifications.

📘

Usage of this method is not required unless there are a few limited cases where you may wish to use it; for example, if you are only using the Authentication or Monitoring features.

registerWithDeviceProfile

This method registers the device profile with the SDK. This method causes profile details to be sent to the Webex Connect platform. Once a profile is registered, all further SDK calls take place in the context of that profile.

Syntax: (void)registerWithDeviceProfile:(ICDeviceProfile *)deviceProfile completionHandler:(void (^)(NSDictionary *response,NSError *error))completionHandler

ICDeviceProfile *deviceProfile = [[ICDeviceProfile alloc]
initWithDeviceId: [ICDeviceProfile defaultDeviceID]];
[IMIconnect registerWithDeviceProfile:deviceProfile
completionHandler:^(NSDictionary*response, NSError *error)
{
        //Handle the response
}];

deviceProfile

This method retrieves the currently registered device profile.

  Syntax: + (ICDeviceProfile *)deviceProfile

isRegistered

This method is used to set the interval at which the SDK will poll policy updates in minutes. To prevent adverse effects on battery or CPU usage a minimum interval of 30 minutes is enforced. To disable polling, set the value to 0. If Real-Time Messaging or Push is enabled, this value will not be used.

  Syntax: +(void)setPolicyPollingInterval:(NSTimeInterval)interval;

This method removes the device profile parameter identified by ICDeviceProfileParam with a new value.

  Syntax: + (void)removeDeviceProfileParam:(ICDeviceProfileParam)completionHandler:(void (^)(NSDictionary *response,NSError *error))completionHandler

[IMIconnect removeDeviceProfileParam:ICDeviceProfileParamUserId
                                    completionHandler:^(NSDictionary *response, NSError *error)
{
    //Handle the response
}];

unregister

This method unregisters the current device profile.

  Syntax: + (void)unregister:(void (^)(NSError *error))completionHandler

sdkVersion

This method retrieves the SDK version number.

  Syntax: + (NSString *)sdkVersion;

  Return Value: Returns the SDK version number.

  Syntax: + (void)setSecurityToken:(NSString *)token;

  Parameters:

  Example:

[IMIconnect setSecurityToken:token];

setSecurityTokenErrorDelegate

This method allows developers to register an object which implements the SecurityTokenExceptionListener interface to listen for Security Token related exceptions which occur from internal (indirect) Gateway API calls.

  Syntax:

  Example:

[IMIconnect setSecurityTokenErrorDelegate:self];

NSDictionary *eventParams = [NSDictionary new];
    [eventParams setValue:@"9123443212" forKey:@"number"];
    [eventParams setValue:@"234642" forKey:@"OTP"];
    
    [IMIconnect publishEventParam:eventParams completionHandler:^(NSDictionary *response, NSError *error)
    {
        if(error != nil)
        {
            NSLog(@"Publish failed, error: %@", error.localizedDescription);
            return;
        }

ICDeviceProfile

ICDeviceProfile is a class that gathers information about the back-end device profile. An ICDeviceProfile instance should be instantiated to register a device profile.
The developer can choose to register the device profile with a deviceId only or with a deviceId and an appUserId. User can generate a unique/own device ID or can choose the defaultDeviceId provided by the SDK.
If the user chooses to register a device profile with the deviceId only, the backend will automatically generate an appUserId. The current device profile is accessible via the Webex Connect class.
