Use the SDK

Import the Library

Import the SDK to your file.

import PlaytimeMonetize

#import <PlaytimeMonetize/PlaytimeMonetize-Swift.h>

import Playtime from 'react-native-adjoe-sdk-ios';

Initialize the SDK

To make all of the features of the Playtime SDK available, you need to initialize it first. This initialization happens asynchronously in the background.

Automatic

To trigger automatic initialization at the app's start, you should include the adjoe-playtime.plist file containing your SDK hash in your app's target. See the example file below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>sdkHash</key>
	<string>INSERT_YOUR_HASH_HERE</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Best Practices

Initialize the SDK immediately after the app launches.
Re-initialize the SDK and include the userId after the user has logged-in.

At app launch, call Playtime.initialize(...) . You can use application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:):

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    Task {
        do {
            try await Playtime.initialize(
                userID: "userId",
                sdkHash: "sdkHash",
                uaNetwork: "uaNetwork",
                uaChannel: "uaChannel",
                uaSubPublisherCleartext: "uaSubPublisherCleartext",
                uaSubPublisherEncrypted: "uaSubPublisherEncrypted",
                placement: "placement"
            )
        } catch {
            // handle errors / retry if needed
        }
    }
    return true
}

At app launch, call [Playtime initialize ...] . You can use application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:):

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey, id> *)launchOptions
{
    [Playtime initializeWithUserID:@"userID"
                           sdkHash:@"sdkHash"
                         uaNetwork:@"uaNetwork"
                         uaChannel:@"uaChannel"
           uaSubPublisherCleartext:@"uaSubPublisherCleartext"
           uaSubPublisherEncrypted:@"uaSubPublisherEncrypted"
                         placement:@"placement"
                 completionHandler:^(NSError * _Nullable error) {
        if (!error) {
            NSLog(@"Playtime initialized successfully");
        } else {
            NSLog(@"Error initializing Playtime: %@", error);
        }
    }];
}

Call Playtime.initialize at the start of the application, for example, in the App.js's componentDidMount() method:

Playtime.initialize({
  sdkHash: "sdkHash",
  userId: "userId",
  uaNetwork: "uaNetwork",
  uaChannel: "uaChannel",
  uaSubPublisherCleartext: "uaSubPublisherCleartext",
  uaSubPublisherEncrypted: "uaSubPublisherEncrypted",
  placement: "placement"
})
.then(() => {
   console.log('Successful initialization!');
})
.catch((err) => {
   console.error(err);
});

Show the Catalog

It's required to pass userId here if auto-init is enabled.

Call Playtime.showCatalog() to open a webview of the Playtime catalog:

Task {
    do {
    
        let params = PlaytimeParamsBuilder()
                .setUANetwork("uaNetwork")
                .setUAChannel("uaChannel")
                .setUASubPublisherCleartext("uaSubPublisherCleartext")
                .setUASubPublisherEncrypted("uaSubPublisherEncrypted")
                .setPlacement("placement")
                .build()
        
        let subIds = PlaytimeExtensionsBuilder()
                .setSubId1("subId1")
                .setSubId2("subId2")
                .setSubId3("subId3")
                .setSubId4("subId4")
                .setSubId5("subId5")
                .build()
       
        let options = PlaytimeOptionsBuilder()
                .setParams(params)
                .setExtensions(subIds)
                .build()
        
        try await Playtime.showCatalog(
                 options: options
        )
    } catch {
        // handle errors / retry if needed
    }
}

Call [Playtime showCatalog] to open a webview of the Playtime catalog:

PlaytimeParams *params = [[[[[[PlaytimeParamsBuilder alloc] init]
                           setUANetwork:@"uaNetwork"]
                          setUAChannel:@"uaChannel"]
                         setUASubPublisherCleartext:@"uaSubPublisherCleartext"]
                        setUASubPublisherEncrypted:@"uaSubPublisherEncrypted"]
                       setPlacement:@"placement"]
                      build];

PlaytimeExtensions *subIds = [[[[[[[[PlaytimeExtensionsBuilder alloc] init]
                                 setSubId1:@"subId1"]
                                setSubId2:@"subId2"]
                               setSubId3:@"subId3"]
                              setSubId4:@"subId4"]
                             setSubId5:@"subId5"]
                            build];

PlaytimeOptions *options = [[[[PlaytimeOptionsBuilder alloc] init]
                            setParams:params]
                           setExtensions:subIds]
                          build];

[Playtime showCatalogWithOptions:options
                   completionHandler:^(NSError * _Nullable error) {
        if (!error) {
            NSLog(@"Error showing Playtime catalog: %@", error);
        } else {
            NSLog(@"Did show catalog")
        }
    }];

Call Playtime.showCatalog() to open a webview of the Playtime catalog:

Playtime.showCatalog({
  uaNetwork: "uaNetwork",
  uaChannel: "uaChannel",
  uaSubPublisherCleartext: "uaSubPublisherCleartext",
  uaSubPublisherEncrypted: "uaSubPublisherEncrypted",
  placement: "placement",
  subId1: "subId1",
  subId2: "subId2",
  subId3: "subId3",
  subId4: "subId4",
  subId5: "subId5"
})
.then(() => {
   console.log('Did show catalog!');
})
.catch((err) => {
   console.error(err);
});

Parameters

When initializing the SDK, you should include additional User Acquisition and placement parameters. These parameters allow you to track and analyze Playtime's performance within your app.

You can provide these parameters in any combination, both at initialization and at any point in the app's lifecycle—such as when a user launches the Playtime Catalog interacts with a campaign or requests a payout.

These values must be url-safe as they could potentially be returned as query parameters in the S2S Payout request.

To make the most of the Playtime SDK, to maximize your revenue and provide the best user experience, use all of these parameters for data-driven optimizations. For instance, you can monitor the performance of different Playtime button placements or determine the effectiveness of different UA sources.

Parameter

Explanation

userId

A custom identifier you can assign to each user. If you haven't set one, the Playtime SDK generates it automatically. This ID is necessary for S2S payouts, thus required. Ensure this value is url-safe and that the value is never empty.

sdkHash

SDK hash that you received from the adjoe Monetize dashboard or Account Manager.

uaNetwork

User Acquisition Network. The network through which the user was acquired, e.g., Adwords, Facebook, or Organic.

uaChannel

User Acquisition Channel. The channel within the network from which the user was acquired, e.g. incentivized or video campaigns.

uaSubPublisherCleartext

The cleartext package name of the sub-publisher's app ID within the network from which the user was acquired, e.g., com.domain.appName.

uaSubPublisherEncrypted

The encrypted package name or app ID of the sub-publisher's app from the network where the user was acquired.

placement

The placement of the Playtime Catalog inside your app, e.g., "Main Screen", "Shop", "Interstitial", "More Diamonds Screen", etc.

You can also choose to use adjoe's Apps feature, showing the Playtime catalog with distinct gaming or app experiences.
