Ketch Smart Tag for an iOS application

This document demonstrates the Ketch Smart Tag usage for the Swift based native iOS application.

It handles the storage of the corresponding policy strings to SharedPreferences,
as per standards requirements for the in-app support:

Prerequisites

Registered Ketch organization account
Configured application property record
Custom identity space
index.html Ketch Smart Tag integration bridge

Quick Start

Step 1. Copy the integration bridge into the app

Add an index.html file with privacy web form wrapper to your project.

The index.html file makes use of WebKit WKWebView and JavascriptInterface to
communicate back and forth with the native runtime of the iOS application.

Step 2. Add Info.plist privacy tracking request

Define Info.plist string for tracking allowance request with key
Privacy - Tracking Usage Description (NSUserTrackingUsageDescription)
that describes wanted purpose, e.g. "Please indicate whether you consent to our collection and use
of your data in order to perform the operation(s) you’ve requested."

Step 3. Create the Ketch Preferences Center view with the webView

Integrate source code of preference settings view controller to your project.

File for SwiftUIt integration: ConsentView

And add source code for config: ConsentConfig

Step 4. Integrate calls for presentation of preference settings view (or view controller)

Request permission for application tracking using requestTrackingAuthorization from AppTrackingTransparency.ATTrackingManager:

import AppTrackingTransparency

...

ATTrackingManager.requestTrackingAuthorization { authorizationStatus in
    if case .authorized = authorizationStatus {
        ...
    }
}

Retrieve advertisingIdentifier from AdSupport.ASIdentifierManager:

import AppTrackingTransparency
import AdSupport

...
    
ATTrackingManager.requestTrackingAuthorization { authorizationStatus in
    if case .authorized = authorizationStatus {
        let advertisingId = ASIdentifierManager.shared().advertisingIdentifier
        
        ...
    }
}

Create ConsentConfig by .configure(:...) method and save it for future preferencesCenter launch. To keep the activity as configurable as the Ketch Smart Tag on the HTML page, it expects an organization code and property code to be passed in to it:

import AppTrackingTransparency
import AdSupport

...

private var config: ConsentConfig?

struct ContentView: View {

...

var body: some View {
    ...
    .onAppear {
        ATTrackingManager.requestTrackingAuthorization { authorizationStatus in
            if case .authorized = authorizationStatus {
                let advertisingId = ASIdentifierManager.shared().advertisingIdentifier
                
                self?.config = ConsentConfig.configure(
                    orgCode: "#{your_org_code}#",
                    propertyName: "#{your_property}#",
                    advertisingIdentifier: advertisingId
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

Show PreferenceCenter once you need to launch preferences setup:

...
.sheet(item: $configItem) { configItem in
    ConsentView(config: configItem)
}

Full integration code with config:

import AppTrackingTransparency
import AdSupport

...

private var config: ConsentConfig?

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var configItem: ConsentConfig?

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button("Show Preference Center") {
                configItem = config
            }
        }
        .onAppear {
            ATTrackingManager.requestTrackingAuthorization { authorizationStatus in
                if case .authorized = authorizationStatus {
                    let advertisingId = ASIdentifierManager.shared().advertisingIdentifier

                    config = ConsentConfig.configure(
                        orgCode: "#{your_org_code}#",
                        propertyName: "#{your_property}#",
                        advertisingIdentifier: advertisingId
                    )
                }
            }
        }
        .sheet(item: $configItem) { configItem in
            ConsentView(config: configItem)
        }
        ...
    }
}
