| |
| − | If you do not have any of these prerequisites or if you have any questions, please contact our SDK sales support team. | |
| − | Refer to [[Digital Measurement Onboarding]] guide for information on how to get a Nielsen App SDK and appid.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Simplified API ==
| |
| − | As part of making the SDK more user-friendly and reducing the number of app integration touch points, Nielsen has designed a simple interface to pass metadata to the SDK. The new trackevent() API has been implemented as a wrapper for the existing SDK and will be responsible for handling new API calls, performing validation, and translating new API calls to the existing Nielsen App SDK API methods. Applications which are already integrated with the existing SDK API are unaffected by this new API.
| |
| − | [[File:SimplifiedAPI_vs_StandardAPI_New.jpg|2048px|link=https://engineeringportal.nielsen.com/w/images/9/91/SimplifiedAPI_vs_StandardAPI_New.jpg]]
| |
| − | In the Simplified API, one API call will be used to reference many methods. The key-value structure of this API call will provide information for proper crediting. The SDK will utilize the data received in this call and translate it into a sequence of calls linking to the existing API.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[File:Co-Existance.jpg|center|700px]]
| |
| − | ''For iOS SDK framework package will contain 2 public header files. One header file will contain old SDK interface and will be used by existing clients (NielsenAppApi.h). New API will be defined in a new public header file (NielsenEventTracker.h).''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''For Android, a new wrapper class for AppSdk will be introduced (AppSdkTrackEvent). This class will be responsible for handling and translating new API calls into calls of the existing Nielsen App SDK API methods. A new public API will be introduced in this class, that accepts a JSONObject parameter.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Implementation ==
| |
| − | This guide covers implementation steps for iOS using Xcode.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Setting up your Development Environment ==
| |
| − | Prior to SDK Version 6.2.0.0 the IOS framework has been distributed as a static library packaged into framework bundle format. Apple recommends to use dynamic framework, it has some benefits over static libraries like less executable file size of an app, faster startup time and native support in xCode IDE. Nielsen AppSDK has been transformed into dynamic framework in this release ([[iOS_Static_Framework_Setup|static framework]] is still available).
| |
| − | | |
| − | If migrating from the static library to this new dynamic framework, once implemented, unless your specific application requires, you can remove the following Frameworks that were once required:<code> [AdSupport, JavascriptCore, SystemConfiguration, Security, AVFoundation, libc++] </code>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Dynamic framework is created as a fat framework. It means that it contains slices required for devices (armv7, arm64) as well as slices required for simulators (i386, x86_64). Simulator slices are needed to let clients build and debug their app on the simulators, but they should be removed before sending the app to the AppStore. The example of the shell script that should be added as a Run Script phase in the application can be [[DCR_Video_iOS_SDK#Removing_Simulators|found below]].
| |

| − | === How to obtain the NielsenAppApi.Framework ===
| |
| − | The Nielsen AppSDK can either be downloaded, or integrated directly within an application through the use of a CocoaPod.
| |
| − | * [[Special:Downloads|Select to Download Directly]]
| |
| − | * [[Digital_Measurement_iOS_Artifactory_Guide|Select to obtain Cocoapod implementation guide]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Configuring Xcode Development Environment ===
| |
| − | Starting with SDK version 6.0.0.0, the Nielsen App SDK is compatible with Apple iOS versions 8.0 and above. In addition, the framework supports modules, so all the required frameworks are linked automatically as the are needed. More details can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24902787/dont-we-need-to-link-framework-to-xcode-project-anymore

| − | <blockquote>'''Note''': All communications between the SDK and the Census (Collection Facility) use HTTPS.</blockquote>
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Download Framework ===
| |
| − | The first step is to download and copy the [[Special:Downloads|NielsenAppApi.framework]] bundle to the app project directory.
| |
| − | === Add Framework ===
| |
| − | In the General tab for app configuration add NielsenAppApi.framework in the list of Embedded Binaries.
| |
| − | === Add Path ===
| |
| − | Add path to the NielsenAppApi.framework in the Framework Search Paths build setting.
| |
| − | === Import Framework ===
| |
| − | Add NielsenAppApi.framework module in the source file of your app:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Using Swift ====
| |
| − | You can use Objective-C and Swift files together in a single project, no matter which language the project used originally. This makes creating mixed-language app and framework targets as straightforward as creating an app or framework target written in a single language.

| − | == SDK Initialization ==
| |
| − | The latest version of the Nielsen App SDK allows instantiating multiple instances of the SDK object, which can be used simultaneously without any issue. The sharedInstance API that creates a singleton object was deprecated prior to version 5.1.1.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Starting at version 6.0.0 of the SDK, there is no limit on the number of instances.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following table contains the list of arguments that should be passed during initialization.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The appid is provided by the Nielsen Technical Account Manager (TAM).

| |
| − | === Debug flag for development environment ===
| |
| − | Player application developers / integrators can use Debug flag to check whether an App SDK API call made is successful. To activate the Debug flag,
| |
| − | Pass the argument <code> "nol_devDebug": "INFO" </code>, in the JSON string . The permitted values are:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''INFO''': Displays the API calls and the input data from the application (validate player name, app ID, etc.). It can be used as certification Aid.
| |
| − | * '''WARN''': Indicates potential integration / configuration errors or SDK issues.
| |
| − | * '''ERROR''': Indicates important integration errors or non-recoverable SDK issues.
| |
| − | * '''DEBUG''': Debug logs, used by the developers to debug more complex issues.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once the flag is active, it logs each API call made and the data passed. The log created by this flag is minimal.
| |
| − | <blockquote>'''Note''': DO NOT activate the Debug flag in a production environment.</blockquote> | |

| − | == Initializing the Nielsen AppSDK to measure the Viewability ==
| |
| − | The integrator to support the viewability metrics in the application has to provide a tag value of the player view to let Nielsen AppSDK know that there is a player that needs to be tracked. It’s called the ‘containerId’ and it should be passed in application info dictionary as string while initializing the Nielsen AppSDK.

| |
| − | | |
| − | == Simplified API Syntax ==
| |
| − | The existing API has a number of methods used for reporting player and application state changes to the SDK. The order of calls is important for the SDK in the existing API. In the new simplified API, all these calls will be replaced with one API call that will get one dictionary object with many key-value pairs, where any value could be another complex dictionary object. All the data provided in the older API in separate calls will be provided in one single call.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Main API call for the new NielsenEventTracker API:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="objective-c">
| |
| − | - (void)trackEvent:(NSDictionary *)data;
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Handling JSON Metadata ===
| |
| − | Parameter “data” is a JSON object with many key-value pairs that holds all information required by SDK.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Format of input object is the following:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="json">
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | "event": <event identifier>,

| − | "playheadPosition":<playhead value | Unix Timestamp>,
| |
| − | "id3Data": <id3 payload>,

| |
| − | |'''pause'''||
| |
| − | This event should be used to in the following cases:<br>
| |
| − | * application enters background,<br>
| |
| − | * any application interruptions,<br>
| |
| − | * content playback is paused.<br>
| |
| − | (Pause is detected by SDK automatically only if the time gap between commands exceeds 30 minutes.)
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |'''complete'''||
| |
| − | This event should be called when the session is completed, ends, or the user initiates a stop.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |'''adStop'''||
| |
| − | This event should be called at the end of each ad and is required when advertisements have the same assetId.

| − | === Managing Ads ===
| |
| − | If there is an Ad block within the playing content (such as a midroll) you need to:
| |
| − | * Reset the playhead position to 0 for each ad.
| |
| − | * Call the '''adStop''' event at the end of each ad or increment the adldx
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Simplified API can automatically detect the change from ad to content as well as ad to ad if the assetID changes; however, there could be situations where the same ad is played back to back.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sometimes it is not possible for integrators to provide different assetId value for individual ads in a sequence of ads. Taking this into account, the Simplified API will support a new parameter for ad metadata: '''adIdx'''. This parameter is an index of an individual ad in a sequence of ads. Once the next ad is started the adIdx parameter should be changed and provided as part of ad metadata.
| |
| − | You can either increment/change the adldx value, and/or call adStop at the end of each Ad.
| |

| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="swift"> | |

| − | For iOS, background/foreground detection is handled by the app lifecylce APIs which are provided by [https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/TheAppLifeCycle/TheAppLifeCycle.html Apple:]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Foreground/Background state measurement is a requirement of Nielsen AppSDK implementation which is especially crucial for static measurement.
