Manual Location Coordinates Tagging in iOS Apps

Manual Location Tagging: Appxiom does not access user location automatically. Developers can manually set location coordinates for issue reports using a single API call.

Appxiom iOS framework gives you full control over location data tagging. By calling the provided API, you can attach location coordinates to every issue report. The framework never collects location data automatically.

Key Points​

  • Manual Update Only: Appxiom framework never auto-collects user location.
  • Single-Line API: Developers update location data manually as needed.
  • Latest Data Used: If the API is called multiple times, the most recent coordinates are used for subsequent issue reports.

Setting Location Coordinates​

Call the API anywhere in your code to update the current location. This will tag all future issue reports with the provided coordinates until updated again.

[Ax updateLocation:clLocationCoordinates];
  • Anywhere in your code: Call this API whenever you want to update the location data for future issue reports.
  • Multiple Calls: The latest coordinates provided will be used for all subsequent issues.
