App-Update-Tracker

==================

AppUpdateTracker is a simple, lightweight iOS library intended to determine basic app install/update behavior. The following is a list of when events are triggered:

* when the user launches the app for the first time, provides:

  * **timestamp** of when user opened app for the first time, in seconds since epoch

  * **installation count** representing the number of times the user has opened the app for the first time on the same device

* when the user opens the app for the first time after updating, provides:

  * the **previous version** the user updated from

  * the **current version** of the app (provided for convenience)

* when the user brings the app to the foreground, provides:

  * **usage count** representing how many times the app has been opened (includes bringing app to foreground after resigning active, not only cold start)

This library posts an alert or executes a block with information on one (and only one) of the 3 aforementioned behaviors per app session (each time the app is run).

# How to Add to Your Project

### CocoaPods

To install with [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org/) include the following in your Podfile:

```ruby

pod 'App-Update-Tracker', '~> 2.0'

```

Then install:

```ruby

$ pod install

```

Consult the ["Getting Started"](https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking/wiki/Getting-Started-with-AFNetworking) guide (taken from the lovely AFNetworking project) for more information.

### The Old Fashioned Way

Merely copy the AppUpdateTracker folder (and its contents) to your project.

# Usage

Import `AppUpdateTracker.h` in your `AppDelegate` class and register for `AppUpdateTracker` events within the `application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:` method:

```

#import "AppUpdateTracker.h"

//...

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

{

    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

    // Override point for customization after application launch.

    

    [AppUpdateTracker registerForAppUpdatesWithBlock:^(NSString *previousVersion, NSString *currentVersion) {

        NSLog(@"app updated from: %@ to: %@", previousVersion, currentVersion);

    }];

    [AppUpdateTracker registerForFirstInstallWithBlock:^(NSTimeInterval installTimeSinceEpoch, NSUInteger installCount) {

        NSLog(@"first install detected at: %f amount of times app was (re)installed: %lu", installTimeSinceEpoch, (unsigned long)installCount);

    }];

    [AppUpdateTracker registerForIncrementedUseCountWithBlock:^(NSUInteger useCount) {

        NSLog(@"incremented use count to: %lu", (unsigned long)useCount);

    }];

    

    //...

}

```

Consult the sample project for more info.

# Migration

### 1.x to 2.0

Potential codebreaking changes:

* Added `installCount` to first install event, this changes the first install block registration method to `+ (void)registerForFirstInstallWithBlock:(void (^)(NSTimeInterval installTimeSinceEpoch, NSUInteger installCount))block`.

* Changed `oldVersion` to `previousVersion` for app updated event, this changes the notification previous version key to `kAUTNotificationUserInfoPreviousVersionKey`.

* Added `currentVersion` to app updateded event, this changes the app updated block registration method to `+ (void)registerForAppUpdatesWithBlock:(void (^)(NSString *previousVersion, NSString *currentVersion))block`.

* Changed `+ (BOOL)getUserUpgradedApp` to `+ (BOOL)getUserUpdatedApp`.
