Gimbal Flurry Integration

This sample project shows how Gimbal can be integrated with Flurry.

In this integration information regarding Place events are sent to Flurry. You can than use this information from within Flurry's analytic tools.

Setup

Please refer to the hello-gimbal-ios sample application for generic Gimbal setup and dependencies.

You will need to enter your Gimbal API Key and Flurry API Key into the AppDelegate.m file.

GimbalFlurryAdapter

To make integration easier we have created a helper class GimbalFlurryAdapter that exposes a simple method

[GimbalFlurryAdapter sharedInstanceWithGimbalAPIKey:@"GIMBAL_API_KEY_HERE"
                                    andFlurryAPIKey:@"FLURRY_API_KEY_HERE"];

By invoking this method with the appropriate Gimbal and Flurry API keys both frameworks are initialized and place events are monitored and sent to Flurry.

The project is based on hello-gimbal-ios project. With the following changes

• Modified the Podfile to include Flurry's library.

• Added the GimbalFlurryAdapter.h and GimbalFlurryAdapter.m helper classes.

• Modified AppDelegate.didFinishLaunchingWithOptions to invoke GimbalFlurryAdapter.

The code for GimbalFlurryAdapter shows how Place events are sent to Flurry.
