Configuring In-App Messaging

You can enable and configure in-app messages within your application for both iOS and Android.

To enable in-app messaging, follow these steps:

1. Enable in-app messaging by setting the enable_in_app_messaging parameter to true in your hydra-config.json file.
2. Configure in-app messaging for iOS
   1. Add an Image Set named inAppPlaceholder in your project's Assets.xcassets. This image will serve as a placeholder when an in-app message does not include an image.
   2. In your AppDelegate.swift file, add the following at the top:
      Swift

      import capillary_hydra_ios
      

   3. Add the following function to your AppDelegate.swift file:
      Swift

      override func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void){
          HydraNativeAPI.shared.application(application, didReceiveRemoteNotification: userInfo, fetchCompletionHandler: completionHandler)
      }
      

3. Configure in-app messaging for Android
   1. Add an image file named hydra_in_app_placeholder to the android/app/src/main/res/drawable folder. This image will be used as a placeholder when an in-app message does not include an image. The image file can be in PNG, JPG, or XML format.

Configuring the Inbox API

This API allows you to retrieve and display a list of messages for a user.

To set up the Inbox API, enable the Inbox API by setting the enable_inbox_api parameter to true in your hydra-config.json file.

3. Configure Inbox UI for iOS by adding an image asset named inboxUIPlaceholder in your project's Assets.xcassets.
