startupWithLaunchOptions
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 error:(NSError **)error
Parameters:
launchOptions
NSDictionary
The launch options passed from didFinishLaunching method.
error
NSError
Specifies the error description. The error will be set if a startup fails.
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:
launchOptions
NSDictionary
The launch options passed from didFinishLaunching method.
config
ICConfig
The config object containing the appId and the clientKey.
error
NSError
Specifies the error description. The error will be set if a startup fails.
The default delegate method is (**BOOL**)application:(UIApplication*)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions.
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 IMIconnect 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 check whether the user is currently registered with IMIconnect. This method returns true if the user is registered, else false is returned.
Syntax: + (BOOL)isRegistered;
setPolicyPollingInterval
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;
Parameters:
interval
NSTimeInterval
Specifies the time in minutes after which policy updates will happen.
policyPollingInterval
This method is used to get the current policy polling interval, in minutes.
Syntax: +(NSTimeInterval)policyPollingInterval;
updateDeviceProfileParam
This method updates the device profile parameter identified by ICDeviceProfileParam with a new value.
Syntax: + (void)updateDeviceProfileParam:(ICDeviceProfileParam)deviceProfileParam
withValue:(NSString *)value
completionHandler:(void (^)(NSDictionary *response,NSError *error))completionHandler
[IMIconnect updateDeviceProfileParam:ICDeviceProfileParamCustomerId
withValue:_userIdTextField.text
completionHandler:^(NSDictionary *response, NSError *error)
{
//Handle response
}]; deviceProfile
This method retrieves the deviceId used by IMIconnect APIs.
Syntax: + (ICDeviceProfile *)deviceProfile
+(NSString *)deviceId
+(ICDeviceProfile *)deviceProfile
Retrieves the deviceId used by IMIconnect APIs.

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.

This method is used to set security token to provide better access control for user-centric resources. This method allows developers to specify the Security Token that the SDK will pass to the Gateway API calls.
Syntax: + (void)setSecurityToken:(NSString *)token;
Parameters:
token
String
Specifies the token which is generated from jwttoken API.
Example:
TokenRequest *tokenRequest = [TokenRequest new];
[tokenRequest requestTokenWithUserId:userId
appId:appId
expiresIn:self.expirationTime
completionHandler:^(NSString *token, NSError *error)
{
if (token != nil)
{
[IMIconnect setSecurityToken:token];
}
if (completionHandler != nil)
{
completionHandler(token,error);
}
}]; 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:+ (void)setSecurityTokenErrorDelegate(id<ICSecurityTokenErrorDelegate>)delegate;
Example:
[IMIconnect setSecurityTokenErrorDelegate:self]; 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 IMIconnect class.
@property (nonatomic) NSString *deviceId

@property (nonatomic) NSString *appUserId
App user ID
@property (nonatomic) BOOL isAppUserIdSystemGenerated
Indicates if the app user ID has been generated by the system

(instancetype)initWithDeviceId:(NSString *)deviceId
Instantiates an ICDeviceProfile with a deviceId
(instancetype)initWithDeviceId:(NSString *)
deviceId appUserId:(NSString *)appUserId
