3. Initialization

Initialization sets up internal SDK components to allow the creation of a Sentiance user on the device, and perform detections in the background.

Only a limited set of SDK functions are allowed to be invoked before initializing the SDK.

iOS

The correct way to natively initialize on iOS is to do it inside the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method of the AppDelegate class.

AppDelegate.swift

override func application(
    _ application: UIApplication,
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
  ) -> Bool {
    GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
    SentianceCorePlugin.shared.initialize()
    return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
  }

Android

In order to initialize the SDK, add the following line inside the onCreate() method of your Application class:

package com.your.domain;

import android.app.Application
import com.sentiance.core_plugin.CorePlugin

class MainApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        // ...
        
        CorePlugin.initialize(this) // Add this line
    }
}
