Integration

The minimal supported version of Cordova is 6.0.0 or higher
The minimal supported iOS version is 11.0 or higher
The minimal supported Android API version is 21 or higher

🚧

If iOS Iovation plugin is used then the minimum supported iOS version is 12.0 or higher

1. Install dependencies

Add .npmrc file at the root level of the project with the path to the plugin repository

@credolab:registry=https://npm.cloudsmith.io/credolab/hybrid/

Install the plugins to your project

cordova plugin add @credolab/[email protected]

ionic cordova plugin add @credolab/[email protected]

⚠️

Note

Please replace X.Y.Z with module versions from Cordova SDK page.
The final result should look like this:

Terminal

ionic cordova plugin add @credolab/[email protected]

Add repositories for Android

Open platforms\android\app\repositories.gradle file and declare the repository:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        // ...
        maven { url "https://dl.cloudsmith.io/$TOKEN/credolab/proxyen-sdk/maven/" }
    }
}

Add repositories for iOS

Add the Cocoapods repository to the beginning of the platforms/ios/Podfile file

source 'https://token:[email protected]/basic/credolab/proxyen-sdk/cocoapods/index.git'

Install Pods

Install pods by executing

pod install

📘

Unable to find a specification for library_name?

In certain cases you may see the error with similar title during pods installation.
To fix this, please add the following CocoaPods CDN to the Podfile

source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'

2. Build and Use CredoAppService

In your Cordova app code open the file where theCredoAppService planned to be used.

Add plugins import

declare var CredoAppService: any
declare var AndroidVideoModule: any;
declare var AndroidImagesModule: any;
declare var AndroidAudioModule: any;
declare var AndroidAccountModule: any;
declare var AndroidCalendarModule: any;
declare var AndroidSmsModule: any;
declare var AndroidIovationModule: any;
declare var AndroidApplicationModule: any;
declare var AndroidContactModule: any;

declare var IosCalendarEventsModule: any;
declare var IosCalendarRemindersModule: any;
declare var IosContactModule: any;
declare var IosMusicModule: any;
declare var IosMediaModule: any;
declare var IosIovationModule: any;

Build CredoAppService with required modules

const credoapp = new CredoAppService()

await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new IosCalendarEventsModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new IosCalendarRemindersModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new IosContactModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new IosIovationModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new IosMediaModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new IosMusicModule())

await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new AndroidVideoModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new AndroidImagesModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new AndroidAudioModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new AndroidAccountModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new AndroidCalendarModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new AndroidSmsModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new AndroidIovationModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new AndroidApplicationModule())
await credoapp.addModuleAsync(new AndroidContactModule())

Call CredoAppService.collectAsync() method to start the data collection process

 const dataset = await service.collectAsync()

📘

Note

Relevant for Android only
Add functionality for requesting permissions before starting the data collection process in case there are used modules that require granting dangerous permissions. The detailed info about modules can be found here.

Next Steps

After successfully integrating our SDK, it is recommended to proceed with the following steps to utilise our platform effectively:

1. Setting up your Reverse Proxy
2. Uploading your Dataset. Once the server is configured, you can upload your dataset using the server address.
3. Collecting your Dataset Insight or TruValidate(formerly known as iovation) Fraud Check. With the dataset uploaded, you can now get insights or perform TruValidate Fraud Checks to assess risk based on the device and transaction details provided.
