The App Center SDK uses a modular architecture so you can use any or all of the services.

Let's get started with setting up App Center macOS SDK in your app to use App Center Analytics and App Center Crashes. To add App Center Push to your app, have a look at the documentation for App Center Push.

1. Prerequisites

Microsoft Download Centre For Mac

The following requirements must be met to use App Center SDK:

  • Your macOS project is set up in Xcode 11 or later on macOS version 10.14.4 or later.
  • You're targeting devices running on macOS 10.9 or later.
  • You're not using any other library that provides Crash Reporting functionality.

Note

App Center SDK will drop support for Xcode 10 with the June SDK release.

App Center SDK Analytics and Crashes is compatible with Mac Catalyst via XCFramework or SwiftPM.

2. Create your app in the App Center Portal to obtain the App Secret

If you've already created your app in the App Center portal, you can skip this step.

  1. Head over to appcenter.ms.
  2. Sign up or log in and hit the blue button on the top-right corner of the portal that says Add new and select Add new app from the dropdown menu.
  3. Enter a name and an optional description for your app.
  4. Select macOS as the OS and Objective-C/Swift as a platform.
  5. Hit the button at the bottom right that says Add new app.

Once you've created an app, you can obtain its App Secret on the Settings page on the App Center Portal. At the top right-hand corner of the Settings page, click on the triple vertical dots and select Copy app secret to get your App Secret.

3. Add the App Center SDK modules

The App Center SDK for macOS can be added to your app via Cocoapods, Carthage, Swift Package Manager or by manually adding the binaries to your project.

3.1 Integration via Cocoapods

  1. Add the following dependencies to your podfile to include App Center Analytics and App Center Crashes into your app. This will pull in the following frameworks: AppCenter, AppCenterAnalytics, and AppCenterCrashes. Instead, you can specify which services you want to use in your app. Each service has its own subspec and they all rely on AppCenter. It will get pulled in automatically.

  2. Run pod install to install your newly defined pod and open the project's .xcworkspace.

Now that you've integrated the frameworks in your application, it's time to start the SDK and make use of the App Center services.

3.2 Integration via Carthage

Below are the steps on how to integrate the App Center SDK in your Xcode project using Carthage version 0.30 or higher, a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

  1. Add the following dependencies to your Cartfile to include App Center into your app. This will pull in all the frameworks. Then you can link only those frameworks that you want to use in your app.

  2. Run carthage update --platform macOS. This will fetch dependencies into a Carthage/Checkouts folder, and then build each framework.

  3. Open your application target's General settings tab. Drag and drop AppCenter.framework, AppCenterAnalytics.framework, and AppCenterCrashes.framework files from the Carthage/Build/macOS folder into Xcode's Project Navigator. The AppCenter.framework is required to start the SDK. If it isn't added to the project, the other modules won't work and your app won't compile.

  4. A dialog will appear, make sure your app target is checked. Then click Finish.

    Note

    If you use carthage copy-frameworks in your Build Phase you should not add the App Center SDKs there as they are shipped as static frameworks.

Now that you've integrated the frameworks in your application, it's time to start the SDK and make use of the App Center services.

3.3 Integration via Swift Package Manager

Note

Only the Analytics and Crashes modules support the use of Swift Package Manager at the moment.

  1. From the Xcode menu click File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency.
  2. In the dialog that appears, enter the repository URL: https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter-sdk-apple.git.
  3. In Version, select Up to Next Major and take the default option.
  4. Choose AppCenterAnalytics and/or AppCenterCrashes in the Package Product column.

Now that you've integrated the frameworks in your application, it's time to start the SDK and make use of the App Center services.

Note

If you're integrating App Center via SwiftPM and want to use it in your app's extension target as well, make sure that you provide DISABLE_DIAMOND_PROBLEM_DIAGNOSTIC=YES in your configuration. This is necessary to avoid SwiftPM limitations in linking a module to multiple targets.

3.4 Integration by copying the binaries into your project

Below are the steps on how to integrate the compiled binaries in your Xcode project to set up App Center Analytics and App Center Crashes for your macOS app.

Note

App Center SDK supports the use of XCframework. If you want to integrate XCframeworks into your project, download the AppCenter-SDK-Apple-XCFramework.zip from the releases page and unzip it. Resulting folder contents are not platform-specific, instead it contains XCframeworks for each module. They can be integrated the same way as usual frameworks, as described below.

  1. Download the App Center SDK frameworks provided as a zip file.

  2. Unzip the file and you'll see a folder called AppCenter-SDK-Apple that contains different frameworks for each App Center service on each platform folder. The framework called AppCenter is required in the project as it contains code that is shared between the different modules.

  3. [Optional] Create a subdirectory for 3rd-party libraries.

    • 3rd-party libraries are usually in a subdirectory (it is often called Vendor), so if your project doesn't use a subdirectory for libraries, create a Vendor subdirectory now.
    • Create a group called Vendor inside your Xcode project to mimic your file structure on disk.
  4. Open the unzipped AppCenter-SDK-Apple folder in Finder and copy the folder into your project's folder at the location where you want it. The folder contains frameworks in subfolders for other platforms that App Center SDK supports, so you might need to delete unneeded subfolders.

  5. Add the SDK frameworks to the project in Xcode:

    • Make sure the Project Navigator is visible (⌘+1).
    • Now drag and drop AppCenter.framework, AppCenterAnalytics.framework, and AppCenterCrashes.framework from the Finder (the ones inside the Vendor folder) into Xcode's Project Navigator. AppCenter.framework is required to start the SDK. If it's missing the other modules won't work, and your app won't compile.
    • A dialog will appear, make sure your app target is checked. Then click Finish.

Note

The SDK binary isn't packaged following the macOS framework convention. The reason is that the App Center SDK for Mac isn't a conventional framework but a static one. You've to link it as a static framework: make sure that you aren't embedding the binaries, and don't include them in the 'copy bundle resources' build phase.

Now that you've integrated the frameworks in your application, it's time to start the SDK and make use of the App Center services.

4. Start the SDK

In order to use App Center, you must opt in to the module(s) that you want to use. By default no modules are started and you've to call each one when starting the SDK.If you're developing for an extension, refer to the Extension getting started page.

4.1 Add the import statements

Open the project's AppDelegate file and add the following import statements:

4.2 Add the start:withServices: method

Insert the following line in the app's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions delegate method:

If you have a Catalyst application, you can pass app secrets for both iOS and macOS at the same time:

4.3 Replace the placeholder with your App Secret

Make sure to replace {Your App Secret} text with the actual value for your application. The App Secret can be found on the Getting Started page or Settings page on the App Center portal.

The Getting Started page contains the above code sample with your App Secret in it, you can just copy-paste the whole sample.

The example above shows how to use the start:withServices method and include both App Center Analytics and App Center Crashes.

If you do not want to use one of the two services, remove the corresponding parameter from the method call above.

Unless you explicitly specify each module as parameters in the start method, you can't use that App Center service. In addition, the start:withServices API can be used only once in the lifecycle of your app – all other calls will log a warning to the console and only the modules included in the first call will be available.

For example - If you just want to onboard to App Center Analytics, you should modify the start:withServices API call as follows:

4.4 Add internet capabilities for sandboxed apps

Microsoft Excel Mac Download Free

If your app is using the App Sandbox, you've to set the capability to allow outgoing (Client) connections to allow the app to have access to the internet.Xcode 9 enables the App Sandbox by default but the capabilities for outgoing connections need to be set explicitly.

Select your project in the project navigator, select the Capabilities tab and if your app is using the sandbox, enable outgoing connections.

Note

If your app has App Center Push enabled, incoming (Server) connections has to be set as well.

Great, you're all set to visualize Analytics and Crashes data on the portal that the SDK collects automatically.

Look at the App Center Analytics docs and App Center Crashes docs to learn how to customize and use advanced features of each service.

To learn how to get started with Push, read the documentation of App Center Push.
