AspectAutoLog is a library for implementing automatic tracking in iOS projects, making tracking simpler and more efficient.(aka "ios auto log", "ios auto tracking". ) This library supports page display tracking and button click tracking.
- Supports Swift and Objective-C languages
- Automatic tracking of UIViewController's appearance/disappearance/returning to the foreground
- Automatic tracking of UIControl's clicks
- Automatic tracking of (UITableViewCell/UICollectionViewCell)'s display & hide [supports deduplication]
- Provides commonly used tracking parameters that can be directly accessed and modified via .aal.xxx, ready to use out of the box
- Tracking parameters include an extraParams property for adding more custom parameters
- Based on runtime method swizzling
- Implemented using the aspect-oriented programming paradigm
- Step 1: Add to Podfile
pod 'AspectAutoLog'
- Step 2: Implement the AALAspectAutoLogProtocol protocol
