Tealium for iOS (Swift)

New Features

• New CCPA API added to the Consent Manager module. Learn more in the Consent Manager documentation.
• Native Hosted Data Layer support
• Automatic Deep Link tracking that will add deeplink URLs, universal link URLs, and query string parameters to the data layer when the user opens the app from one of these methods.
• Ability to start a Trace by scanning a QR Code from the Customer Data Hub UI
• Added a new TealiumLogger that uses the Apple preferred OSLog vs the print function. There is still an option to use print by setting the logType property on the TealiumConfig object. Read more about Logging.
• Combined several ancillary modules into the Core library for faster and more straightforward installation. See the modules section for more information.
• Updated the track() method to accept a Dispatch type of View or Event. This allows us to support one track method and provide more clarity around screen and event tracking. Read more about the updated track() method.
• Support for more expiration options for data variables. See Data layer for more information.
• Support for native session counting in lieu of using the session counting logic within utag.js. This provides more accurate session counts, and fixes some edge cases where background activities triggered new sessions, resulting in higher than expected session counts.

⚠️Important⚠️ If the Tag Management Module is being used as the dispatch option, you must also update the mobile.html template within the associated TiQ account/profile. If this action isn’t performed, duplicate sessions are recorded in Tealium. Learn more about how to update a template or contact your Account Manager for assistance.
