SDK Flutter | ClearSale Docs

Introdução

The purpose of this manual is to provide all the necessary information for installation and use of the tool in applications developed for the Flutter platform.

This Plugin collects data from the device and sends it to ClearSale. All collected information is related only to the device, without any relation to the integrated application.

This Plugin collects data (information and location) from the device and sends it to ClearSale. All collected information is related only to the device, without any relation to the integrated application.

The geolocation information depends on the permission granted by the user of the device, Geolocation in this case, it is necessary for the application to request access to the user's location information (the SDK does not request permission). If the application does not request access or the user does not grant permission for location, the GeoLocation information will not be captured.

The Plugin respects Apple and Google's privacy policies for capturing device data and the permission level assigned by the user (device user).

Checksum

Since Flutter does not have native support for integrity verification, the checksum must be done on each SDK individually.

Flutter

Installation

The plugin is available on a public repository and to use it, follow the example below:

dependencies:
  behavior_analytics_flutter_sdk: ^0.3.3

dependencies:
  behavior_analytics_flutter_sdk: ^0.3.7

dependencies:
  behavior_analytics_flutter_sdk: 
    git:
        url: https://dev.azure.com/CS-PublicPackages/Behavior/_git/BehaviorAnalytics.SDK.Flutter
        ref: main
        version: 0.5.10

dependencies:
  behavior_analytics_flutter_sdk: 
    git:
        url: https://dev.azure.com/CS-PublicPackages/Behavior/_git/BehaviorAnalytics.SDK.Flutter
        ref: main
        version: 0.5.16

In the pubspec.yaml file, insert the package reference in the dependencies section

Proguard Configuration

If your project is using Proguard, you will need to insert the following configurations:

Mandatory

-keep class sale.clear.behavior.android.** { *; }

Optional

-keepattributes Exceptions

Release Configuration

Below is a recommended base configuration for the release.

buildTypes {
  release {

    shrinkResources true

    minifyEnabled true

    proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
    'proguard-rules.pro'
    signingConfig signingConfigs.debug 
  }
}

Android Configuration

Project Configuration

You must use the following dependencies in your project: play-services-location, play-services-ads-identifier. To do this, add the following information to your project's Gradle file, in the dependencies section.

You must use the following dependency in your project: play-services-ads-identifier. To do this, add the following information to your project's Gradle file, in the dependencies section.

dependencies {
    // Other dependencies of your project.
    //...
    // Required dependencies:
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1'
    implementation 'sale.clear.behavior:sdk-behavior:5.6.7'
    api 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:21.0.1'
 }

dependencies {
    // Other dependencies of your project.
    //...
    // Required dependencies:
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1'
    implementation 'sale.clear.behavior:sdk-behavior:6.0.8'
    api 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:21.0.1'
 }

dependencies {
    // Other dependencies of your project.
    //...
    // Required dependencies:
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1'
    implementation 'sale.clear.behavior:sdk-behavior:6.0.10-rc.1'
 }

The dependency 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1' is used to obtain information about the device's advertising identifier.

On the other hand, the dependency 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:21.0.1' should be used whenever it is necessary to collect geolocation information from the device.

Application Permissions

To use the SDK is necessary to request some Permissions in the manifest file, they are:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID"/>

For applications that use Android version 26 or above as Target, and wishes to capture geolocation information, it's necessary, in addition to adding the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permissions to the manifest, to request permission from the user to collect geolocation data, following this Android recommendation.

Note: For applications that uses version 33 (Android 13) or above as Target be able to capture information regarding advertisingID, it will be necessary to include the permission below:

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID"/>

iOS Configuration

Project Configuration

Add the ClearSale's native iOS library in your project pod:

source 'https://dev.azure.com/CS-PublicPackages/Behavior/_git/BehaviorAnalytics.SDK.IOS.Specs'
target 'PROJECT_NAME' do
pod 'CSBehavior', '3.0.1'
end

source 'https://dev.azure.com/CS-PublicPackages/Behavior/_git/BehaviorAnalytics.SDK.IOS.Specs'
target 'PROJECT_NAME' do
...

Inside the project folder, access the folder ios and execute the command pod install:

pod install

Case the error Error: EMFILE: too many open files - React Native CLI is shown, install the watchman.

Execute the following commands on the command prompt:

brew update
$ brew install watchman

Add the following option on your plist and after in the xcode Menu Build -> Clean and Build Folder.
