如果不推荐使用iAD，如何将AdvertiserId发送给Segment-Analytics

Question

I'm trying to integrate Facebook App Events through Segments.

From Segment Integration Docs :

You will have to be sure that the IDFA is working within your app, which involves adding the iAD framework .

Once you have added this, you will start to see the context.device.advertiserId populate and the context.device.adTrackingEnabled flag set to true.

But, iAD was deprecated !

From Apple documentation:

iAd Framework
On your next regular app update or submission, you should remove the deprecated iAd framework and connection.

When I open the debugger in Segment, the values are not there:

"context": {
    "device": {
      "id": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
      "manufacturer": "Apple",
      "model": "x86_64",
      "type": "ios"
    },
}

When submitting to the AppStore, I'm flagging YES to IDFA as a Segment requirement . So I can imagine that somehow it's connected.

Someone knows how to send advertiserId and adTrackingEnabled = true to Segment?

Answer 1

I solved the problem with this two lines of code:

import AdSupport

ASIdentifierManager.sharedManager().advertisingTrackingEnabled

Only using this two lines, Segment-Analytics is able to send the data to their server.

"device": {
  "adTrackingEnabled": true,
  "advertisingId": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "id": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "manufacturer": "Apple",
  "model": "x86_64",
  "type": "ios"
},
