AppData

The AppData module is a Collector module that automatically enriches tracking data with essential application metadata. This module automatically gathers application-specific information from the main app Bundle and makes it available to all tracking events.

Collected Data Points

The AppData module collects the following information:

Data Point	Key	Description	Bundle Key
App UUID	`app_uuid`	Random identifier persistent through app installation lifetime (e.g., “4AB81234-C2A8-46DE-9AED-7ACE555521E0”)	Generated
App Build	`app_build`	Build number (e.g., “42”)	`CFBundleVersion`
App Name	`app_name`	Application display name	`CFBundleName`
App rDNS	`app_rdns`	Reverse DNS identifier (e.g., “com.example.myapp”)	`CFBundleIdentifier`
App Version	`app_version`	User-facing version (e.g., “1.0.0”)	`CFBundleShortVersionString`

Installation/Configuration

The AppData module can be configured using three different approaches:

Local and Remote Settings

Configure the module using local JSON settings file (via settingsFile parameter) and/or remote settings (via settingsUrl parameter):

var config = TealiumConfig(account: "tealiummobile",
                          profile: "your-profile", 
                          environment: "dev",
                          settingsFile: "TealiumSettings",
                          settingsUrl: "https://tags.tiqcdn.com/dle/tealiummobile/lib/example_settings.json")

Default initialization - module will be initialized only if configured in settings file specified:

{
    "modules": {
        "AppData": {
            "module_type": "AppData"
        }
    }
}

Custom configuration - module with specific settings:

{
    "modules": {
        "AppData": {
            "module_type": "AppData",
            "enabled": true,
            "order": 1,
            "rules": {
                "operator": "and",
                "children": [
                    "rule_id_from_settings"
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

When both local and remote settings are provided, they are deep merged with remote settings taking priority.

Programmatic Configuration

Configure the module programmatically by adding it to the modules parameter in TealiumConfig.

Default initialization - module will be initialized with default settings:

let config = TealiumConfig(account: "tealiummobile",
                          profile: "your-profile", 
                          environment: "dev",
                          modules: [
                              Modules.appData(),
                              // other modules...
                          ])

Custom configuration - module with enforced settings:

let config = TealiumConfig(account: "tealiummobile",
                          profile: "your-profile", 
                          environment: "dev",
                          modules: [
                              Modules.appData(forcingSettings: { builder in
                                  builder.setEnabled(true)
                                         .setOrder(1)
                                         .setRules(.and(["rule_id_from_settings"]))
                              }),
                              // other modules...
                          ])

⚠️ Important: Programmatic settings are deep merged onto local and remote settings and will always take precedence. Only provide programmatic settings for configuration values that you never want to be changed remotely, as they will override any remote updates.

Settings Builders Reference

The AppData module uses the AppDataSettingsBuilder for configuration. This is an extension of the CollectorSettingsBuilder which offers common settings like:
