AWARE: Device

The device sensor provides device manufacturer, model, operating system version and other information. The information is provided by UIDevice.

Requirements

iOS 13 or later

Installation

You can integrate this framework into your project via Swift Package Manager (SwiftPM) or CocoaPods.

SwiftPM

1. Open Package Manager Windows

   • Open Xcode -> Select Menu Bar -> File -> App Package Dependencies...

2. Find the package using the manager

   • Select Search Package URL and type git@github.com:awareframework/com.awareframework.ios.sensor.device.git

3. Import the package into your target.

4. Import com.awareframework.ios.sensor.device library into your source code.

import com_awareframework_ios_sensor_device

CocoaPods

com.aware.ios.sensor.device is available through CocoaPods.

1. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'com.awareframework.ios.sensor.device'

2. Import com.awareframework.ios.sensor.device library into your source code.

import com_awareframework_ios_sensor_device

Public functions

DeviceSensor

• init(config:DeviceSensor.Config?) : Initializes the device sensor with the optional configuration.
• start(): Starts the device sensor with the optional configuration.
• stop(): Stops the service.

DeviceSensor.Config

Class to hold the configuration of the sensor.

Fields

• sensorObserver: DeviceObserver?: Callback for live data updates.
• enabled: Boolean Sensor is enabled or not. (default = false)
• debug: Boolean enable/disable logging to Logcat. (default = false)
• label: String Label for the data. (default = "")
• deviceId: String Id of the device that will be associated with the events and the sensor. (default = "")
• dbEncryptionKey Encryption key for the database. (default = null)
• dbType: Engine Which db engine to use for saving data. (default = Engine.DatabaseType.REALM)
• dbPath: String Path of the database. (default = "aware_device")
• dbHost: String Host for syncing the database. (default = null)

Broadcasts

• DeviceSensor.ACTION_AWARE_DEVICE fired when device is profiled.

Data Representations

Device Data

Field	Type	Description
systemName	String	The name of the operating system running on the device represented by the receiver. (e.g., iOS)
systemVersion	String	The current version of the operating system. (e.g., 12.1)
product	String	The product name of the device. (e.g., iPhone 7)
model	String	The model of the device. (e.g., iPhone)
localizedModel	String	The model of the device as a localized string. (e.g., iPhone)
userInterfaceIdiom	Int	The style of interface to use on the current device. (0=phone, 1=pad, 2=tv, or 3=carPlay)
identifierForVendor	String	An alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies a device to the app’s vendor .
modeCode	String	The model code of the device (e.g., iPhone9,1)
osVersion	String	OS version information from utsname.h (e.g., Darwin Kernel Version 18.0.0: Wed Aug 22 20:13:40 PDT 2018; root:xnu-4903.201.2~1/RELEASE_X86_64)
manufacturer	String	Device's manufacturer name (e.g., Apple)
deviceId	String	AWARE device UUID
label	String	Customizable label. Useful for data calibration or traceability
timestamp	Int64	unixtime milliseconds since 1970
timezone	Int	Timezone of the device
os	String	Operating system of the device (ex. android)

Example Usage

let deviceSensor = DeviceSensor.init(DeviceSensor.Config().apply{config in
    config.debug = true
    config.dbType = .REALM
    config.sensorObserver = Observer()
})
deviceSensor.start()

class Observer:DeviceOserver{
    func onDeviceChanged(data: DeviceData) {
        // Your code here..
    }
}
