1. Declare dependencies

Open a terminal window on the root path of your project and execute:

flutter pub get

Add repositories for Android

Open android/build.gradle file and add the repository according to your flow:

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 ios/Podfile file

source 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/$TOKEN/credolab/proxyen-sdk/cocoapods/index.git'

📘

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 Flutter code open the file where theCredoAppService planned to be used.

  1. Add plugin import
import 'package:flutter_core/credo_app_service.dart';

import 'package:flutter_android_account/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_android_audio/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_android_video/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_android_images/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_android_calendar/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_android_contact/module.dart';

// Please note that if the Core plugin (flutter_core) version 6.4.0 or higher is used, 
// there is no need to include the Application plugin
// import 'package:flutter_android_application/module.dart';

import 'package:flutter_ios_contact/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_ios_calendar_reminders/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_ios_calendar_events/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_ios_music/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_ios_media/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_ios_application/module.dart';

import 'package:flutter_behavioral/module.dart';
import 'package:flutter_behavioral/behavioral/credoapp_behavioral.dart';
  1. Call addModule(MODULE_NAME) to add the particular module and callcollect() method to start the data collection process
Future<void> collectData() async {
  // init CredoAppService
  var service = CredoAppService();
  service.setForceResolvePermissions(true);
  service.setIgnorePermissions(true);

  // add modules
  await service.addModule(AndroidVideoModule());
  await service.addModule(AndroidCalendarModule());
  await service.addModule(AndroidContactModule());
  await service.addModule(AndroidImagesModule());
  await service.addModule(AndroidAudioModule());
  await service.addModule(AndroidAccountModule());
  
  await service.addModule(IosContactModule());
  await service.addModule(IosCalendarEventsModule());
  await service.addModule(IosCalendarRemindersModule());
  await service.addModule(IosMusicModule());
  await service.addModule(IosMediaModule());
  await service.addModule(IosApplicationModule());
  
  await service.addModule(BehavioralModule());
  
  // collect data
  final result = await service.collect();
  
 	if(result.isFailure){  
  	print("Error: ${result.code} ${result.message}");  
 	}else{  
	 	result.value // this is dataset -> now upload collected data to credolab servers
  }
}

// If the BehavioralModule is included, then wrap the root app widget with the CredoAppBehavioral widget
void main() {
  runApp(CredoAppBehavioral(
      key: Key("root_layout"),
      startTracking: true, // Set `true` to initiate behavioral data tracking on application start, or set `false` and call BehavioralModule.startTracking() method manually in anywhere in your code
      child: const MyApp()));
}

// Stop the behavioral tracking to conserve resources or mark the end of a user flow
BehavioralModule.stopTracking()

📘

Note - Behavioral module

Please refer to BehavioralModule section for additional information about module integration.

❗️

Behavioral data is cleared on collectAsync() method call

Once collectAsync() method is called BehavioralModule clears its data stored on user the device.

Thus, for data consistency, our strong recommendation is to call the method only once: at the end of the user flow.

🚧

Note - Application module

To integarte IosApplicationModule module, the initial step involves adding URL Schemas into the Info.plist file within your project (maximum 50 schemas are allowed).

Please refer to the native module intagration where the default list is specified.

4. Upload from a Mobile Device (Testing purposes only)

🚧

Direct Upload Note:

In a production environment, datasets should only be uploaded via your organization's proxy server.

For testing, integration, or generating insights, you may use the following code snippet:

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.
