Our service for device fingerprinting is accessible for iOS devices as well. It assists in precisely recognizing the devices engaging with your mobile application and offers reliable intelligent cues to anticipate potentially risky transactions.
Profile tracking in your Android app is enabled by the Profile Tracking ‘Collector’ SDK, provided to you by our industry-leading partner Experian. Our implementation team will give you credentials to access and use the Profile Tracking SDK.
You will get access to CollectorCore.xcframework. Drag the CollectorCore.xcframework folder into your Xcode’s Frameworks and Libraries section.
Project Root -> Targets -> YourApp - Frameworks and Libraries
Configure the ‘Collector’ Profile Tracking SDK with your assigned SHOP_ID, and call the collect method with a unique SESSION_ID. Profile tracking data will then be submitted and used for enhanced risk analysis for transactions with matching SESSION_ID.
The ‘Collector’ Profile Tracking SDK needs an API key for use in production.
Locate your Info.plist. Add a new entry under Information Property List and use com.ins.collector.API_KEY as Key. As Value, set your API key.
Set you environment explicitly to Environment.PRODUCTION
SHOP ID or valid API key have been provided, the library will run in TEST mode and data submitted will be lost.Task {
do {
let collector = CollectorFactory.getInstance(
Configuration(
clientId: "<SHOP_ID>",
environment: .production
)
)
try await collector.collect("<SESSION-ID>")
print("DONE")
} catch {
print(error.localizedDescription )
print("FAIL")
}
}
User location is an important factor or determining the risk level of a transaction. Profile Tracking will give the best possible result with precise user location. However, your app will always need to have user permission to use location information, in accordance with Apple’s permission rules.
Profile Tracking can be used with and without precise location data. It is fully your choice whether it makes sense to ask for location permission in your app.
If your app already asks for location permission (for instance, as part of selecting shipping location), then your users may experience little-to-no impact with location data for Profile Tracking. On the other hand, if your app currently makes no use of location data, you would have ask for permission in a way that makes a good user experience. In that case, you might consider Profile Tracking without precise location — our Implementation team is always available to advise.

If you experience trouble while integrating the library into your app, you may enable the debug mode.

To get additional help from our engineering team, you may enable telemetry mode. This will submit the libraries logs automatically to help with troubleshooting.

If a module is not needed for your use case or causes trouble, you may choose to exclude it.
Notable options:

Privacy manifest files allow developers to describe their privacy practices:
