You can set a username for a mobile app in Aternity Mobile SDK to be consistent with desktops and laptops, so you can track this user's experience across all devices and platforms. The Aternity class provides a property called userNameStr, which you can set at initialization or manually at any time.

By default, an empty username is displayed as Other or Unknown in the dashboards.

The Aternity class provides the sharedManager method, which returns a singleton object. You should call the class's methods using this singleton object, to avoid manually creating and maintaining the Aternity object.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, ensure you have already done the following:

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

• 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).

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

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

Property Definition

The userNameStr is defined as a property in the Aternity class:

@property(copy) NSString *userNameStr;

Example

In Objective-C

[Aternity sharedManager].userNameStr = @"Irene_Wilkins"; 

In Swift:

Aternity.sharedManager().userNameStr = "Irene_Wilkins"
