Installation and usage

Installation

Make sure you have a Jointag Proximity / Kariboo client id (API key) and secret.

Run the following command to add the plugin to your cordova project:

$ cordova plugin add @jointag/cordova-plugin-jointag-proximity --save --variable KARIBOO_ID="YOUR_API_KEY" --variable KARIBOO_SECRET="YOUR_API_SECRET"

If you need to change your KARIBOO_ID or KARIBOO_SECRET after installation of the plugin, it's recommended that you remove and then re-add the plugin as above. Note that changes to the KARIBOO_ID or KARIBOO_SECRET value in your config.xml file will not be propagated to the individual platform builds.

Tracking users

The SDK associates each tracked request with the advertisingId. If the advertisingId is not available due to a user permission denial, the device can be identified by the installationId. The installationId identifies in particular a specific installation of the SDK in a certain app on a certain device. If the app containing the SDK is uninstalled and then installed again the installationId will be a different one. You can retrieve the installationId after the initialization of the SDK anywhere in your code with the following line:

Kariboo.getInstallationId(function (value) {
  alert("installationId: " + value);
});

Request permissions

The app is initialized without any permission. It is necessary to implement it in the project with the following call

Kariboo.requestLocationPermission();

Requirements and compatibility

Cordova requirements

Cordova CLI version: from 7.0.1 to 8.1.2

Android requrements

Minimum cordova-android version: 8.0.0 Minimum API level: 14 (Android 4.0)

Note: to use functionalities that rely on BLE, the minimum API level is 18 (Android 4.3). If the device API level is between 14 and 17 the SDK won't be able to access BLE and therefore it will be not possible to obtain data from BLE devices.

### iOS requirements

Minimum cordova-ios version: 5.0.1

This plugin requires the following permissions on iOS:

• NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
• NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription
• NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription

In order to publish your app on App Store without rejection customize permission strings in ios platform tag of your config.xml:

       <config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription">
           <string>Questa applicazione ha bisogno di accedere alla tua posizione per fornirti un'esperienza ottimale.
           </string>
       </config-file>
       <config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription">
           <string>Questa applicazione ha bisogno di accedere alla tua posizione per fornirti un'esperienza ottimale.
           </string>
       </config-file>
       <config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription">
           <string>Questa applicazione ha bisogno di accedere alla tua posizione per fornirti un'esperienza ottimale.
           </string>
       </config-file>

##Initialization

This plugin takes advantage of Cordova plugin onload phase to initialize Kariboo native SDK, thus no explicit initialization is required.

##GDPR As a publisher, you should integrate a Consent Management Platform (CMP) and request for vendor and purpose consents as outlined in IAB Europe’s Mobile In-App CMP API v1.0: Transparency & Consent Framework. To ensure that the SDK support the handling of user-consent preferences when a IAB-compatible CMP library is present, you must enable the feature through the ENABLE_CMP installation variable parameter, that expects "true" or "false" value. The default value is true. You can find a reference implementation of a web-based CMP and the corresponding native wrappers here: https://github.com/InteractiveAdvertisingBureau/GDPR-Transparency-and-Consent-Framework. If you are embedding your own custom CMP, the collected end user consent information needs to be stored invoking the following methods of the plugin:

Key Value

| Key | Type | Description | | --------------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------- | | setIABConsentCMPPresent | String | 'true' if a CMP that follows the iAB specification is present in the application otherwise 'false' | | setIABConsentSubjectToGDPR | String | 1 - (subject to GDPR), 0 - (not subject to GDPR), -1 - Unknown (default before initialization) | | setIABConsentConsentString | String | (Base64-encoded consent string as defined in Consent string and vendor list format v1.1) | | setIABConsentParsedPurposeConsents| String | (String of 0s and 1s, where the character at position N indicates the consent status to purposeID N as defined in the Global Vendor List) | | setIABConsentParsedVendorConsents | String | (String of 0s and 1s, where the character at position N indicates the consent status to vendorID N as defined in the Global Vendor List) |

Troubleshooting

Multidex error

if you occur in multidex error with the following message :

The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64k

you can fix it with cordova-plugin-enable-multidex plugin

Google Play Services and Android Support Library compatibility

As you can see here this plugin uses internally Google Play Services library (version >= 11.6.0) and Android Support Library library (version >= 26.1.0), if you have other cordova plugins using these libraries, in order of avoid conflicts, you should specify the correct version during the installation. Please note the minimum supported versions.

• APPCOMPACT_V7_VERSION indicates the version of com.android.support:appcompat-v7 where the default value is 28.0.0
• PLAY_SERVICES_ADS_VERSION indicates the version of com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads where the default value is 16.+
• PLAY_SERVICES_LOCATION_VERSION indicates the version of com.google.android.gms:play-services-location where the default value is 16.+

E.g.

$ cordova plugin add @jointag/cordova-plugin-jointag-proximity --save --variable KARIBOO_ID="YOUR_API_KEY" --variable KARIBOO_SECRET="YOUR_API_SECRET --variable APPCOMPACT_V7_VERSION="28.0.0" --variable APPCOMPACT_V7_VERSION="16.+"
