3.1.4. Setting up Background Tasks for Guaranteed Delivery using AppDelegate

Setup guide with Mindbox’s AppDelegate

🚧

Before you begin, make sure you’ve successfully completed the following steps:

• Setting up Integration Points for Your iOS App
• Getting Keys for iOS App and Setting up Connection to APNs
• Adding SDK to Your App
• Initializing SDK
• Sending Rich Push Notifications
• Sending Push Notifications

Xcode settings

Background tasks are required to guarantee the delivery of push notifications, as they allow the SDK to submit events even if the app is running in the background.

For background tasks to run correctly, add the following to your info.plist parameters:

• Required background modes:

  • App downloads content from the network;
  • App processes data in the background;
  • App downloads content in response to push notifications;

• Permitted background task scheduler identifiers:

  • cloud.Mindbox.$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER).GDAppRefresh;
  • cloud.Mindbox.$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER).GDAppProcessing;
  • cloud.Mindbox.$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER).DBCleanAppProcessing.

MindboxAppDelegate registers background tasks automatically.

To set up all the API methods, please refer to this guide on setting up mobile push notifications manually.
