SDK Functionality
Before proceeding, you need to configure the SDK for your application. The detailed setup guide is available here.
Working with subscription statuses
Changing subscription status
AltcraftSDK

Subscription status change functions:
func pushSubscribe()— subscribes to push notifications;func pushUnSubscribe()— unsubscribes from push notifications;func pushSuspend()— suspends the push subscription (no notifications are delivered, but no unsubscribe event is created in the user’s profile);func unSuspendPushSubscription()— used to implementLogIn/LogOuttransitions.
All functions in this group have the same signature and parameters:
sync: Bool
Default: true
Required: No
Description: A flag that sets whether the request is executed synchronously.
Successful request execution:
On success, these functions produce an event with code 230, 231 or 232, containing an event.value defined by the sync flag:
If sync == true

For synchronous requests, the event.value["response_with_http_code"] contains:
-
httpCode – transport-level status code;
-
Response – a public struct containing:
-
error: Int?— internal server error code (0 if no errors), -
errorText: String?— error text (empty string if no errors), -
profile: ProfileData?— profile data if the request is successful:- profile info (ProfileData)
- subscription (SubscriptionData)
- subscription categories (CategoryData)
- if the request fails,
profile = nil
-
Data structures
public struct Response {
let error: Int? // internal error code
let errorText: String? // error text
let profile: ProfileData?
}
public struct ProfileData {
let subscription: SubscriptionData?
let cats: [CategoryData]?
}
public struct SubscriptionData {
// Subscription Data
}
public struct CategoryData {
// Subscription Category Data
}
If sync == false
ResponseWithHttpCode
├─ httpCode: Int?
└─ response: Response?
├─ error: Int?
├─ errorText: String?
└─ profile: ProfileData? = nil
For asynchronous requests, event.value["response_with_http_code"] contains:
-
httpCode – transport-level status code;
-
Response – a public struct containing:
error: Int?— internal server error code (0 if no errors),errorText: String?— error text (empty string if no errors),profile: ProfileData?— profile data, alwaysnilfor async requests.
Failed request execution:
If a request in this group fails, an event with one of the following codes is created:
Operations without automatic retry on the SDK side:
- 430 – notification subscription;
- 431 — subscription suspension;
- 432 — unsubscription.
Operations with automatic retry on the SDK side:
- 530 – notification subscription;
- 531 — subscription suspension;
- 532 — unsubscription.
Event contents:
- only
httpCodeif the Altcraft server was unavailable; erroranderrorTextif the server returned an error.
Retrieving event values
AltcraftSDK.shared.eventSDKFunctions.subscribe { event in
let codes: Set<Int> = [
230, 231, 232,
430, 431, 432,
531, 532, 533
]
guard let code = event.eventCode, codes.contains(code) else { return }
guard let responseWithHttp = event.value?["response_with_http_code"] as? ResponseWithHttp else { return }
let httpCode = responseWithHttp.httpCode
let response = responseWithHttp.response
let error = response?.error
let errorText = response?.errorText
let profile = response?.profile
let profileId = profile?.id
let profileStatus = profile?.status
let profileIsTest = profile?.isTest
let subscription = profile?.subscription
let subscriptionId = subscription?.subscriptionId
let hashId = subscription?.hashId
let provider = subscription?.provider
let subscriptionStatus = subscription?.status
let fields = subscription?.fields
let cats = subscription?.cats
let firstCat = cats?.first
let catName = firstCat?.name
let catTitle = firstCat?.title
let catSteady = firstCat?.steady
let catActive = firstCat?.active
}
The fields inside subscription may include your custom subscription fields. They are of type [String: JSONValue]?. The public enum JSONValue provides helpers to simplify field value extraction:
public var stringValue: String? {
if case let .string(value) = self { return value }
return nil
}
/// Returns the numeric value if case is `.number`, otherwise `nil`.
public var numberValue: Double? {
if case let .number(value) = self { return value }
return nil
}
/// Returns the bool value if case is `.bool`, otherwise `nil`.
public var boolValue: Bool? {
if case let .bool(value) = self { return value }
return nil
}
/// Returns the object dictionary if case is `.object`, otherwise `nil`.
public var objectValue: [String: JSONValue]? {
if case let .object(value) = self { return value }
return nil
}
/// Returns the array if case is `.array`, otherwise `nil`.
public var arrayValue: [JSONValue]? {
if case let .array(value) = self { return value }
return nil
}
Example of extracting the field "_device_name":
AltcraftSDK.shared.eventSDKFunctions.subscribe { event ->
if event.eventCode == 230 {
if let responseWithHttp = event.value?["response_with_http_code"] as? ResponseWithHttp {
let response = responseWithHttp.response
let profile = response?.profile
let subscription = profile?.subscription
// extract fields?["_device_name"] as a string value
if let deviceName = subscription?.fields?["_device_name"]?.stringValue {
print(deviceName)
}
}
}
}
profileFields: [String: Any?]?
Default: nil
Required: No
Description: A dictionary containing profile fields.
The parameter may include system fields (e.g., _fname — first name, _lname — last name) and optional fields (manually created in the platform UI). Allowed JSON-compatible value types:
- String
- Bool
- Numbers
nil- Objects
[String: Any] - Arrays
If an invalid optional field is passed, the request fails:
SDK error: 430
http code: 400
error: 400
errorText: Platform profile processing error: with field "field_name": Incorrect field
customFields: [String: Any?]?
Default: nil
Required: No
Description: A dictionary containing subscription fields.
The parameter may include system fields (e.g., _device_model — device model, _os — OS), as well as optional ones (manually created in the platform UI). Allowed types:
- String
- Bool
- Int
- Float
- Double
nil
If an invalid optional field is passed, the request fails:
SDK error: 430
http code: 400
error: 400
errorText: Platform profile processing error: field "field_name" is not valid: failed convert custom field
Nested objects, arrays, and collections are not allowed.
Most system subscription fields are automatically collected by the SDK and added to push requests. These include: "_os", "_os_tz", "_os_language", "_device_type", "_device_model", "_device_name", "_os_ver", "_ad_track", "_ad_id".
cats: [CategoryData]?
Default: nil
Required: No
Description: Subscription categories.
Category structure:
public struct CategoryData: Codable {
public var name: String?
public var title: String?
public var steady: Bool?
public var active: Bool?
}
When sending a push request with categories, use only name (category name) and active (category active status). Other fields are not used in request processing. The title and steady fields are populated when retrieving subscription info.
Request example:
let cats: [CategoryData] = [CategoryData(name: "football", title: nil, steady: nil, active: true)]
Response example:
[ { name: "developer_news", title: "dev_news", steady: false, active: false } ]
Categories used in the request must be created beforehand and added to the resource in the Altcraft platform. If a category not present in the resource is used, the request returns an error:
SDK error: 430
http code: 400
error: 400
errorText: Platform profile processing error: field "subscriptions.cats" is not valid: category not found in resource
replace: Bool?
Default: nil
Required: No
Description: When enabled, all subscriptions of other profiles with the same push token in the current database are set to unsubscribed after a successful request.
skipTriggers: Bool?
Default: nil
Required: No
Description: When enabled, the profile containing this subscription will be ignored by mailing and scenario triggers.
Request examples
Example: subscribing to push notifications
Minimal working call:
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.pushSubscribe()
Passing all available parameters:
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.pushSubscribe(
sync: true,
profileFields: ["_fname":"Andrey", "_lname":"Pogodin"],
customFields: ["developer":true],
cats: [CategoryData(name: "developer_news", active: true)],
replace: false,
skipTriggers: false
)
For pushSubscribe, pushSuspend, and pushUnSubscribe, the SDK automatically retries the request if the HTTP status code is in the 500..599 range. No retry occurs if the code is outside this range.
Function unSuspendPushSubscription()
func unSuspendPushSubscription() is designed for LogIn / LogOut transitions. It works as follows:
- searches for subscriptions with the same push token as the current one that do not belong to the profile referenced by the current JWT;
- changes the status of the found subscriptions from
subscribedtosuspended; - changes the status of the subscriptions in the profile referenced by the current JWT from
suspendedtosubscribed(if that profile exists and contains subscriptions); - returns a
ResponseWithHttpCode?whereresponse.profileis the current profile referenced by the JWT (if the profile does not exist,response.profileisnil).
Example:
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.unSuspendPushSubscription(completion: @escaping (ResponseWithHttp?) -> Void)
Recommended LogIn / LogOut flow
LogIn flow:
- An anonymous user opens the app. The user has
JWT_1, pointing to database #1Anonymous; - The user subscribes to push; a profile is created in #1Anonymous;
- The user registers and receives
JWT_2, pointing to #2Registered; - Call
unSuspendPushSubscription()— the anonymous subscription in #1Anonymous is suspended; - The SDK searches for a profile in #2Registered to restore the subscription;
- Since a subscription with this push token does not exist in #2Registered,
unSuspendPushSubscription()returnsnil; - After receiving
nil, callpushSubscribe()to create a new profile in #2Registered.
LogOut flow:
- The user logs out in the app (
LogOut); - The user receives
JTW_1, pointing to #1Anonymous; - Call
unSuspendPushSubscription(), which suspends the subscription in #2Registered and sets the status in #1Anonymous tosubscribed; - The request returns
#1Anonymous != nil— the subscription already exists, no new one is required.
Example implementation:
func logIn() {
JWTManager.shared.setRegJWT()
// JWT is set for an authorized user
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.unSuspendPushSubscription { result in
if result?.httpCode == 200, result?.response?.profile?.subscription == nil {
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.pushSubscribe(
// specify the required parameters
)
}
}
}
func logOut() {
JWTManager.shared.setAnonJWT()
// JWT is set for an anonymous user
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.unSuspendPushSubscription { result in
if result?.httpCode == 200, result?.response?.profile?.subscription == nil {
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.pushSubscribe(
// specify the required parameters
)
}
}
}
Requesting subscription status
AltcraftSDK
// Singleton, the entry point to the SDK
└── static let shared: AltcraftSDK
// Subscription managment
└── pushSubscriptionFunctions: PublicPushSubscriptionFunctions
// Last profile subscription status
├── getStatusOfLatestSubscription(
│ completion: @escaping (ResponseWithHttp?) -> Void
│ ): Void
// Subscription status corresponding to the current token/provider
├── getStatusForCurrentSubscription(
│ completion: @escaping (ResponseWithHttp?) -> Void
│ ): Void
// Status of the latest subscription for the provider (if nil — the current one is used)
└── getStatusOfLatestSubscriptionForProvider(
provider: String? = nil,
completion: @escaping (ResponseWithHttp?) -> Void
): Void
Subscription status functions:
func getStatusOfLatestSubscription()— the last subscription status in the profile;func getStatusOfLatestSubscriptionForProvider()— the subscription status for the current token/provider;func getStatusForCurrentSubscription()— the latest subscription status by provider. Ifnilis specified, the current one is used.
public func getStatusOfLatestSubscription(completion: @escaping (ResponseWithHttp?) -> Void): Void
Retrieves the status of the profile’s latest subscription. The completion receives a ResponseWithHttp? containing response?.profile?.subscription — the most recently created subscription in the profile. If no such subscription exists, nil is passed.
Example:
// Last profile subscription status
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.getStatusOfLatestSubscription(completion: @escaping (ResponseWithHttp?) -> Void)
public func getStatusForCurrentSubscription(completion: @escaping (ResponseWithHttp?) -> Void): Void
Retrieves the subscription status for the current token/provider. The completion receives a ResponseWithHttp? containing response?.profile?.subscription — the subscription found by the current push token and provider. If no such subscription exists, nil is passed.
Example:
// Subscription status corresponding to the current token/provider
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.getStatusForCurrentSubscription(completion: @escaping (ResponseWithHttp?) -> Void)
public func getStatusOfLatestSubscriptionForProvider(provider: String? = nil, completion: @escaping (ResponseWithHttp?) -> Void): Void
Retrieves the latest subscription status by provider. The completion receives a ResponseWithHttp? containing response?.profile?.subscription — the most recently created subscription for the specified push provider. If no provider is specified, the current token’s provider is used. If no such subscription exists, nil is passed.
Example:
// Status of the latest subscription for the provider (if nil — the current one is used)
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.getStatusOfLatestSubscriptionForProvider(provider: String? = nil, completion: @escaping (ResponseWithHttp?) -> Void)
Below is an example of extracting profile, subscription, and category data from the status response. This approach applies to all status-retrieval functions:
Data from status-retrieval functions
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.getStatusForCurrentSubscription{ responseWithHttp in
// HTTP code
let httpCode = responseWithHttp?.httpCode
// Response
let response = responseWithHttp?.response
let error = response?.error
let errorText = response?.errorText
// Profile
let profile = response?.profile
let profileId = profile?.id
let profileStatus = profile?.status
let profileIsTest = profile?.isTest
// Subscription
let subscription = profile?.subscription
let subscriptionId = subscription?.subscriptionId
let hashId = subscription?.hashId
let provider = subscription?.provider
let subscriptionStatus = subscription?.status
// Fields (dictionary [String: JSONValue])
let fields = subscription?.fields
// Cats (array of CategoryData)
let cats = subscription?.cats
// CategoryData (every element of cats array)
let firstCat = cats?.first
let catName = firstCat?.name
let catTitle = firstCat?.title
let catSteady = firstCat?.steady
let catActive = firstCat?.active
}
On a successful request, an event with code 234 is created. On error — an event with code 434.

SDK functions for working with a provider’s token:
func setPushToken()— manually sets the device push token and provider inUserDefaults;func getPushToken()— retrieves the current push token;func setAPNSTokenProvider()— sets or removes the APNs push-token provider;func setFCMTokenProvider()— sets or removes the FCM push-token provider;func setHMSTokenProvider()— sets or removes the HMS push-token provider;func changePushProviderPriorityList()— dynamically switches the provider and updates the subscription’s push token;func deleteDeviceToken()— deletes the push token for the specified provider;func forcedTokenUpdate()— deletes the current push token and then refreshes it.
public func setPushToken(provider: String, pushToken: Any?): Void
Used to manually set the device push token and provider in UserDefaults. This serves as a simplified way to pass a push token into the SDK without implementing provider protocols.
Not recommended for passing the token. The preferred approach is to implement FCMInterface, HMSInterface, or APNSInterface.
Example:
// Manually save the token (String for FCM/HMS, Data for APNs)
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.setPushToken(provider: String, pushToken: Any?)
public func getPushToken(completion: ((TokenData?) -> Void)? = nil): Void
Passes a TokenData(provider: String, token: String) object to completion, containing the current device push token and its provider. If the push token is unavailable, nil is passed.
Example:
// Asynchronously retrieve the current push token (completion is optional)
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.getPushToken(completion: ((TokenData?) -> Void)? = nil)
Example of requesting push-token data:
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.getPushToken { data in
let provider = data?.provider
let token = data?.token
}
public func setFCMTokenProvider(_ provider: FCMInterface?): Void
Sets or removes the Firebase Cloud Messaging provider. Pass nil to disable the provider.
Example:
// Set the Firebase Cloud Messaging provider (nil — remove)
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.setFCMTokenProvider(_ provider: FCMInterface?)
Call setFCMTokenProvider() in AppDelegate.application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) before AltcraftSDK.initialization(). This guarantees registration at process start, regardless of lifecycle state or whether the app launches in foreground or background.
public func setHMSTokenProvider(_ provider: HMSInterface?): Void
Sets or removes the Huawei Mobile Services provider. Pass nil to disable the provider.
// Set the Huawei Mobile Services provider (nil — remove)
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.setHMSTokenProvider(_ provider: HMSInterface?)
Call setHMSTokenProvider() in AppDelegate.application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) before AltcraftSDK.initialization(). This guarantees registration at process start, regardless of lifecycle state or whether the app launches in foreground or background.
public func setAPNSTokenProvider(_ provider: APNSInterface?): Void
Sets or removes the Apple Push Notification service provider. Pass nil to disable the provider.
// Set the Apple Push Notification service provider (nil — remove)
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.setHMSTokenProvider(_ provider: APNSInterface?)
Call setAPNSTokenProvider() in AppDelegate.application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) before AltcraftSDK.initialization(). This guarantees registration at process start, regardless of lifecycle state or whether the app launches in foreground or background.
public func changePushProviderPriorityList(_ list: [String]): Void
Enables dynamic switching of the push provider with token refresh. Pass a new array with a different provider order, e.g., [Constants.ProviderName.firebase, Constants.ProviderName.apns, Constants.ProviderName.huawei].
Example:
// Apply a new provider priority list and initiate token update
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.changePushProviderPriorityList(_ list: [String])
public func deleteDeviceToken(provider: String, completion: @escaping () -> Void): Void
Deletes the push token for the specified provider. The token is invalidated and removed from the local cache on the device and from the push provider’s server. After deletion, a new token can be requested.
Example:
// Delete the push token of the specified provider (invalidated locally and on the server)
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.deleteDeviceToken(provider: String, completion: @escaping () -> Void)
public func forcedTokenUpdate(completion: (() -> Void)? = nil): Void
Deletes the current push token and then refreshes it.
Example:
// Force token update (determine provider —> delete (except APNs) —> request new —> update)
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.forcedTokenUpdate(completion: (() -> Void)? = nil)
Example of registering providers
We do not recommend using setPushToken to set the push token. Instead, configure token retrieval for each provider you use. Example:
Recommended provider registration in AppDelegate
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, MessagingDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {
func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
let appGroup = "your appGroup id"
AltcraftSDK.shared.setAppGroup(groupName: appGroup)
AltcraftSDK.shared.backgroundTasks.registerBackgroundTask()
AltcraftSDK.shared.setJWTProvider(provider: JWTProvider())
// apns provider
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.setAPNSTokenProvider(APNSProvider())
// fcm provider
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.setFCMTokenProvider(FCMProvider())
// hms provider
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushTokenFunction.setHMSTokenProvider(HMSProvider())
AltcraftSDK.shared.notificationManager.registerForPushNotifications(for: application)
let config = AltcraftConfiguration.Builder().setApiUrl("your api url").build()
AltcraftSDK.shared.initialization(configuration: config)
// other functions
return true
}
}
Managing Push Notifications
Push Notification Initialization
To initialize push notifications, call the following method in application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:):
AltcraftSDK.shared.notificationManager.registerForPushNotifications(for: application)
This method assigns UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate to the Altcraft SDK NotificationManager, requests permission to display notifications (alert/sound/badge), and registers the application with APNS via registerForRemoteNotifications().
The system permission dialog is shown only on the first request (or if the status has not yet been determined). If the user has already responded earlier, the dialog will not appear again.
Passing Push Notifications to the SDK
The SDK includes the AltcraftNSE class, intended for use inside a Notification Service Extension.
It provides functions for handling incoming push notifications (UNNotificationRequest) and registers mobile events in the NSE.
// Used inside Notification Service Extension (NSE) — facade for handling Altcraft push notifications,
// detecting Altcraft-specific requests, and registering mobile events without direct dependency on UIApplication
AltcraftNSE
// Shared singleton instance for centralized NSE logic
├─ public static let shared: AltcraftNSE
// Provides access to mobile event registration API
├─ public let mobileEventFunctions: PublicMobileEventFunctions
// Check whether the notification request belongs to Altcraft
├─ public func isAltcraftPush(_ request: UNNotificationRequest) -> Bool
// Handle an incoming Altcraft notification request and deliver the modified content
├─ public func handleNotificationRequest(
│ request: UNNotificationRequest,
│ contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void
│ ): Void
// Called when NSE is about to time out — returns the best available notification content
├─ public func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire(): Void
// Set the App Group identifier and initialize Core Data in the shared container
├─ public func setAppGroup(groupName: String): Void
// Register a JWT provider for secure token management in Altcraft SDK
└─ public func setJWTProvider(provider: JWTInterface): Void
AltcraftNSE class methods:
func isAltcraftPush()— checks the notification source;func handleNotificationRequest()— accepts aUNNotificationRequestfrom the Notification Service Extension for further processing by the SDK;func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire()— called when the Notification Service Extension execution time expires (~30 seconds).
public func isAltcraftPush(_ request: UNNotificationRequest) -> Bool
An SDK method that checks whether the notification source is Altcraft based on a marker in userInfo.
Usage example:
AltcraftNSE.shared.isAltcraftPush(_ request: UNNotificationRequest) -> Bool
public func handleNotificationRequest(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void): Void
An SDK method that accepts a UNNotificationRequest from the Notification Service Extension, processes it in the SDK, and then displays the notification.
Usage example:
AltcraftNSE.shared.handleNotificationRequest(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void)
public func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire()
A method called by the system when the Notification Service Extension execution time expires (~30 seconds).
Usage example:
AltcraftNSE.shared.serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire()
public func setAppGroup(groupName: String): Void
A method for setting the AppGroup identifier (required).
Usage example:
AltcraftNSE.shared.setAppGroup(groupName: "group.your.app.id")
public func setJWTProvider(provider: JWTInterface): Void
A method for setting a JWT provider:
AltcraftNSE.shared.setJWTProvider(provider: jwtProvider)
Receiving Foreground Notifications in the App (Optional)
By default, this functionality does not require configuration. If push notification handling is delegated to the SDK (via registerForPushNotifications), NotificationManager automatically:
- is set as
UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate, - processes incoming notifications,
- displays notifications in the foreground using standard parameters (banner/alert + badge/sound).
The setup described below is required only if:
- access to notification content in the foreground is needed (for example, analytics or a custom UI),
- or you want to manually control notification presentation (show/hide, change presentation options).
To configure foreground push notification behavior, use NotificationManager:
// Access to the SDK push notification manager
let manager = AltcraftSDK.shared.notificationManager
// Control of foreground push notification handling.
// true — handling and presentation choice are delegated to the app.
// false — the SDK uses the standard notification presentation logic.
manager.customPushProcessing = false
// Callback for foreground push notification handling.
// Called when a notification is received while the app is active.
// completion must be called only when customPushProcessing = true.
manager.onForegroundNotification = { notification, complete in
// Custom notification handling logic
// Important: call complete(...) only if manager.customPushProcessing = true
if #available(iOS 14.0, *) {
complete([.banner, .badge, .sound])
} else {
complete([.alert, .badge, .sound])
}
// or [] to suppress presentation
}
If customPushProcessing = false, the SDK applies standard notification presentation parameters, and the callback (if set) is invoked only for additional app logic. If customPushProcessing = true, the app must call complete(...); otherwise, the notification may not be shown in the foreground.
Handling Notification Click Events in the App (Optional)
By default, this functionality does not require additional configuration. If push notification handling is delegated to the SDK, NotificationManager automatically:
- handles notification taps or actions,
- sends a push event of type
opento Altcraft, - executes the standard notification action handling logic.
The setup described below is required only if:
- the app needs access to notification data on click,
- custom navigation or action handling logic is required,
- or notification click handling must be fully intercepted by the app.
To delegate click handling to the app, use NotificationManager:
let manager = AltcraftSDK.shared.notificationManager
// Control of notification click handling.
// true — click handling is fully delegated to the app.
// false — the SDK uses the standard click handling logic.
manager.customClickProcessing = true
// Notification click handling callback.
// Called when the user taps a notification or performs an action.
// completion must be called when customClickProcessing = true.
manager.onNotificationClick = { response, complete in
// Notification data
let userInfo = response.notification.request.content.userInfo
// Custom click handling logic
print("push click")
// Complete handling
complete()
}
If customClickProcessing = false, the SDK handles notification clicks on its own, sends the corresponding events, and completes processing. In this case, the onNotificationClick callback (if set) is invoked only for additional app logic.
If customClickProcessing = true, the app must call complete(). Without calling complete(), iOS will treat the click handling as incomplete, which may lead to incorrect app behavior.

)
Case: Transferring advertising campaign information
Information about the app advertising campaign that led to the installation can be sent to the platform as values of the profileFields / customFields parameters of the pushSubscribe function, as well as the utm or payload parameters of the mobileEvent() function. After receiving a UTM tag in the app as a string, you need to call the mobileEvent() function:
Transfer via payload
AltcraftSDK.shared.mobileEventFunctions.mobileEvent(
sid: "your sid",
eventName: "app_install",
payload: ["utm": "your utm tag"]
)
Transfer to UTM fields
AltcraftSDK.shared.mobileEventFunctions.mobileEvent(
sid: "your sid",
eventName: "app_install",
utm: UTM(
campaign: "your campaign utm",
content: "your content utm",
keyword: "your keyword utm",
medium: "your medium utm",
source: "your source utm",
temp: "your temp utm"
)
)

Transfer to a custom profile field
// transfer a UTM tag to a profile field
// profile fields must be created in the platform in advance
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.pushSubscribe(
profileFields: ["utm": "your utm tag"]
)

Data sent using any of these methods can be used to create a segment in the platform.
Please note that when setting up on iOS, the application must use AppsFlyer, otherwise the UTM tag will not be transmitted to the application.

Receiving SDK events in the app
// Events object functions
AltcraftSDK
// Singleton, SDK entry point
└── static let shared: AltcraftSDK
// SDK event stream (one active subscriber)
└── eventSDKFunctions: SDKEvents
// Subscribe to SDK events (replaces an existing subscriber)
├── subscribe(
│ callback: @escaping (Event) -> Void
│ ): Void
// Unsubscribe from events (callback remains assigned, delivery stops)
└── unsubscribe(): Void
Only one active subscriber to SDK events can exist in the app.
Subscribing to events
public func subscribe(callback: @escaping (Event) -> Void): Void
Subscribes to and receives SDK events in the app. When an SDK event occurs, it invokes callback and passes an instance of Event (or its subclass).
Example:
AltcraftSDK.shared.eventSDKFunctions.subscribe { event in
// handle event
}
All events provided by the SDK are instances of Event or its subclasses:
- Event — general event (information, successful requests);
- Error — error event;
- RetryError — error event for a request that the SDK will automatically retry.
Each event contains:
- function — the name of the function that produced the event;
- eventCode — internal SDK event code (see “SDK events”);
- eventMessage — event message;
- eventValue — arbitrary payload
[String: Any?]?added to some events; - date — event timestamp.
SDK events classes
open class Event: Hashable {
public let id = UUID()
public let function: String
public let message: String?
public let eventCode: Int?
public let value: [String: Any?]?
public let date: Date

Additional functions
Functional profile field updates
public func actionField(key: String) -> ActionFieldBuilder
A helper for the functional profile field update process. Supports:
.set(value)
.unset(value)
.incr(value)
.add(value)
.delete(value)
.upsert(value)
Example:
// "_fname" — field to update
// .set("Andrey") — sets the field to "Andrey"
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.pushSubscribe(
profileFields: AltcraftSDK.shared.pushSubscriptionFunctions.actionField(key: "_fname").set(value: "Andrey")
)
Clearing SDK data
public func clear(completion: (() -> Void)? = nil): Void
Clears SDK data and cancels all pending background tasks. Removes CoreData records and clears UserDefaults.
Example:
// Full SDK reset (cache/database/settings), then call completion
AltcraftSDK.shared. clear(completion: (() -> Void)? = nil)
The function accepts an optional completion called after cleanup and task cancellation.
Manual Push Event Registration
Use these only if you implement your own notification handling and do not pass them to Altcraft SDK. By default, Altcraft SDK handles notifications automatically; these methods are needed only for custom client-side processing.
// PublicPushEventFunctions

// Singleton, SDK entry point
└── public static let shared: AltcraftSDK
// Manual sending of push events (delivery / open)
└── public let pushEventFunctions: PublicPushEventFunctions
// Record Altcraft push delivery (fires a delivery event)
├── public func deliveryEvent(from request: UNNotificationRequest): Void
// Record Altcraft push open (fires an open event)
└── public func openEvent(from request: UNNotificationRequest): Void
Manual event registration functions:
func deliveryEvent()— registers a delivery event;func openEvent()— registers an open event.
public func deliveryEvent(from request: UNNotificationRequest): Void
Registers a delivery event in the Altcraft platform. Pass UNNotificationRequest in the request parameter.
Example:
// Record Altcraft push delivery (fires a delivery event)
AltcraftSDK.shared.pushEventFunctions.deliveryEvent(from: UNNotificationRequest)
public func openEvent(from request: UNNotificationRequest): Void
Registers an open event in the Altcraft platform. Pass UNNotificationRequest in the request parameter.
// Record Altcraft push open (fires an open event)
