You can set a device name for a mobile app using the Aternity Mobile SDK, to display custom device names in the dashboards. In iOS, the Aternity class provides a static method called setDeviceName for setting the device name.

For example, you can use setDeviceName to implement your company's device naming policy on employees' personal devices.

In addition to using this method, you can also set this property when the iOS app initializes with activateWithDictionary and setting the property ATERNITY_CONFIG_DEVICE_NAME.

Before You Begin

• The system requirements of the developer's computer must conform to those of the Aternity iOS Mobile SDK.

• The Aternity iOS Mobile SDK requires a mobile device with at least iOS 10 or later.

• Integrate the Aternity iOS Mobile SDK into your app development environment.

• Include the Aternity.h header file (in Objective-C) into your source code file. To add it to a Swift project, use a bridging header (see Apple's documentation).

• Initialize the SDK either automatically (by adding Aternity.plist to your project) or manually using activateWithDictionary.
