Sign-in Sync section
This method will use if App has its own authentication in place, in that case they need to call “quickLaunch” method on @action entry point:
  • methods : quickLaunch.
  • Parameter:
  • Email (Mandatory field): “your logged in user email id”.
  • Password (Mandatory field): “your logged in user password”.
  • deviceId (Mandatory field): “device ID” .
  • deviceType (Mandatory): “iOS” .
  • fullName (Mandatory): “ logged in user full name” .
  • Sample to call:
      
    GluedIn.shared.quickLaunch(email: "user Email Id",
        password: "user Password",
        firebaseToken: "",
        deviceId: "123456",
        deviceType: "ios",
        fullName: " User Full Name",
        autoCreate: true) { vw in
                self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vw  ?? UIViewController(), animated: true)
    } failure: { error in
                print(error)
    }
    
    
    
Entrypoint Configurations
  • Go to scene delegate and import GluedIn SDK as show below.
  • Initialised GluedInSDK and call entry point: call Signin controller at root view controller or any other entry point from where you wanted to get entered in GluedIn SDK (i.e. On Tabbar controller/ any button click). Please see below implementation for rootviewcontroller on scene delegate. Replace “willConnectTo” inside scene delegate class.
      
      
    func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
    
            guard let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene else { return }
    
            window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
            window?.rootViewController = UIStoryboard(name: "LaunchScreen", bundle: nil).instantiateInitialViewController()
            window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
    
    let controller: UIViewController = GluedIn.shared.rootControllerWithSignIn() ?? UIViewController()
    let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: controller ?? UIViewController())
                self.window?.rootViewController = navigationController
    }
