Map User or Device in iOS

Setting a custom ID for the device or user helps pinpoint the source of issue reports in the Appxiom dashboard. This identifier is tagged with all issues raised from the device. If the API is called multiple times, the latest value is used.

How to Set a Custom ID​

Call the API anywhere in your code where you want to associate a user or device with Appxiom reports.

[Ax setCustomId:userId];

Best Practices​

  • Use a unique and meaningful identifier for each user or device (e.g., user ID, device UUID).
  • Update the custom ID if the user logs out or switches accounts.
  • Avoid using sensitive information as the identifier.
