flutter_aepedgeidentity #

flutter_aepedgeidentity is a flutter plugin for the iOS and Android Adobe Experience Platform Edge Identity SDK to allow for integration with Flutter applications. Functionality to enable the Edge Identity extension is provided entirely through Dart documented below.
Prerequisites #
The Adobe Experience Platform Identity for Edge Network extension has the following peer dependency, which must be installed prior to installing it:

flutter_aepcore

Installation #
Install instructions for this package can be found here.

Note: After you have installed the SDK, don't forget to run pod install in your ios directory to link the libraries to your Xcode project.

Tests #
Run:
flutter test

Usage #
For more detailed information on the Edge Identity APIs, visit the documentation here
Registering the extension with AEPCore: #

Note: It is required to initialize the SDK via native code inside your AppDelegate (iOS) and MainApplication class (Android).

As part of the initialization code, make sure that you set the SDK wrapper type to Flutter before you start the SDK.
Refer to the Initialization section of the root README for more information about initializing the SDK.
Initialization Example
iOS
// AppDelegate.h
@import AEPCore;
@import AEPEdge;
@import AEPEdgeIdentity;
...
@implementation AppDelegate

// AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[AEPMobileCore setWrapperType:AEPWrapperTypeFlutter];

// TODO: Set up the preferred Environment File ID from your mobile property configured in Data Collection UI
NSString* ENVIRONMENT_FILE_ID = @'YOUR-APP-ID';

NSArray *extensionsToRegister = @[AEPMobileEdgeIdentity.class,
AEPMobileEdge.class
];

[AEPMobileCore registerExtensions:extensionsToRegister completion:^{
[AEPMobileCore configureWithAppId: ENVIRONMENT_FILE_ID];
}];
return YES;
}

Importing the extension #
In your Flutter application, import the Edge Identity extension as follows:
import 'package:flutter_aepedgeidentity/flutter_aepedgeidentity.dart';
copied to clipboard

API reference #
extensionVersion #
Returns the SDK version of the Identity for Edge Network extension.
Syntax
static Future<String> get extensionVersion.
copied to clipboard
Example
String version = await Identity.extensionVersion;
copied to clipboard

getExperienceCloudId #
This API retrieves the Experience Cloud ID (ECID) that was generated when the app was initially launched. This ID is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application backup process, and is removed at uninstall.
Syntax
static Future<String> get experienceCloudId
copied to clipboard
Example
String result = await Identity.experienceCloudId;
copied to clipboard

getIdentities #
Get all identities in the Identity for Edge Network extension, including customer identifiers which were previously added.
Syntax
static Future<IdentityMap> get identities
copied to clipboard
Example
IdentityMap result = await Identity.identities;
copied to clipboard

getUrlVariables #
Returns the identifiers in a URL's query parameters for consumption in hybrid mobile applications. The response will not return any leading & or ?, since the caller is responsible for placing the variables in the resulting URL in the correct locations. If an error occurs while retrieving the URL variables, the callback handler will return a null value. Otherwise, the encoded string is returned.
An example of an encoded string is as follows: 'adobe_mc=TS%3DTIMESTAMP_VALUE%7CMCMID%3DYOUR_ECID%7CMCORGID%3D9YOUR_EXPERIENCE_CLOUD_ID'

MCID: This is also known as the Experience Cloud ID (ECID).
MCORGID: This is also known as the Experience Cloud Organization ID.
TS: The timestamp that is taken when the request was made.

Syntax
static Future<String> get urlVariables
copied to clipboard
Example
String result = await Identity.urlVariables
copied to clipboard

removeIdentity #
Remove the identity from the stored client-side IdentityMap. The Identity extension will stop sending the identifier to the Edge Network. Using this API does not remove the identifier from the server-side User Profile Graph or Identity Graph.
Identities with an empty id or namespace are not allowed and are ignored.
Removing identities using a reserved namespace is not allowed using this API. The reserved namespaces are:

ECID
IDFA
GAID

Syntax
static Future<void> removeIdentity(IdentityItem item, String namespace)
copied to clipboard
Example
IdentityItem item = new IdentityItem('[email protected]');

Identity.removeIdentity(item, 'Email');
copied to clipboard

resetIdentity #
Clears all identities stored in the Identity extension and generates a new Experience Cloud ID (ECID) . Using this API does not remove the identifiers from the server-side User Profile Graph or Identity Graph.
This is a destructive action, since once an ECID is removed it cannot be reused. The new ECID generated by this API can increase metrics like unique visitors when a new user profile is created.
Some example use cases for this API are:

During debugging, to see how new ECIDs (and other identifiers paired with it) behave with existing rules and metrics.
A last-resort reset for when an ECID should no longer be used.

This API is not recommended for:

Resetting a user's consent and privacy settings; see Privacy and GDPR.
Removing existing custom identifiers; use the removeIdentity API instead.
Removing a previously synced advertising identifier after the advertising tracking settings were changed by the user; use the setAdvertisingIdentifier API instead.

ℹ️ The Identity for Edge Network extension does not read the Mobile SDK's privacy status and therefor setting the SDK's privacy status to opt-out will not clear the identities from the Identity for Edge Network extension.
Syntax
static Future<void> resetIdentities()
copied to clipboard
Example
MobileCore.resetIdentities()
copied to clipboard

setAdvertisingIdentifier #
When this API is called with a valid advertising identifier, the Identity for Edge Network extension includes the advertising identifier in the XDM Identity Map using the namespace GAID (Google Advertising ID) in Android and IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) in iOS. If the API is called with the empty string (''), null/nil, or the all-zeros UUID string values, the advertising identifier is removed from the XDM Identity Map (if previously set).
The advertising identifier is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application backup process, and is removed at uninstall.
Syntax
static Future<void> setAdvertisingIdentifier(String aid)
copied to clipboard
Example
MobileCore.setAdvertisingIdentifier('ad-id');
copied to clipboard

updateIdentities #
Update the currently known identities within the SDK. The Identity extension will merge the received identifiers with the previously saved ones in an additive manner, no identities are removed from this API.
Identities with an empty id or namespace are not allowed and are ignored.
Updating identities using a reserved namespace is not allowed using this API. The reserved namespaces are:

ECID
IDFA
GAID

Syntax
static Future<void> updateIdentities(IdentityMap identityMap)
copied to clipboard
Example
IdentityItem item = new IdentityItem('[email protected]');
IdentityMap identityMap = new IdentityMap();
identityMap.addItem(item, 'email');
Identity.updateIdentities(identityMap);
copied to clipboard

Public Classes #
IdentityMap #
Defines a map containing a set of end user identities, keyed on either namespace integration code or the namespace ID of the identity. The values of the map are an array list, meaning that more than one identity of each namespace may be carried.
The format of the IdentityMap class is defined by the XDM Identity Map Schema.
For more information, please read an overview of the AEP Identity Service.

map.removeItem(identityItem, 'Email');

//Get a list of items for a given namespace

List<IdentityItem> namespacecheck = map.getIdentityItemsForNamespace('Email');

//Get a list of all namespaces used in current IdentityMap
List<dynamic> namespaces = map.getNamespaces();

//Check if IdentityMap has no identities
bool hasNoIdentities = map.isEmpty();
copied to clipboard
IdentityItem #
Defines an identity to be included in an IdentityMap.
The format of the IdentityItem class is defined by the XDM Identity Item Schema.
Example
// Initialize
IdentityItem item = new IdentityItem('identifier');

IdentityItem item = new IdentityItem('identifier', AuthenticatedState.AUTHENTICATED, false);

//Getters
String id = item.id;
AuthenticatedState state = item.authenticatedState;
bool primary = item.primary
copied to clipboard
AuthenticatedState #
Defines the state an Identity Item is authenticated for.
The possible authenticated states are:

AMBIGUOUS - the state is ambiguous or not defined
AUTHENTICATED - the user is identified by a login or similar action
LOGGED_OUT - the user was identified by a login action at a previous time, but is not logged in now

Syntax
enum AuthenticatedState { AUTHENTICATED, LOGGED_OUT, AMBIGUOUS }
copied to clipboard
Example
IdentityItem item = new IdentityItem('identifier', AuthenticatedState.AUTHENTICATED, false);
