Setting up Mobile Inbox on iOS

Apps using version 6.2.0 and later of Iterable's iOS SDK can save in-app messages to an inbox. This inbox displays a list of saved in-app messages and allows users to read them at their convenience. The SDK provides a default user interface for the inbox, which can be customized to match your brand's styles. This document describes how iOS developers can add Iterable's Mobile Inbox functionality to your mobile app.

Installing Iterable's iOS SDK

To add a mobile inbox to your iOS app, first install Iterable's iOS SDK.

Displaying the mobile inbox

To display the mobile inbox in your app, use one of two classes included in Iterable's iOS SDK:

  • IterableInboxNavigationViewController
  • InterableInboxViewController

NOTE

It's generally best to use IterableInboxNavigationViewController, since it has a built-in navigation controller.

There are two primary ways to display this view controller:

  1. As a tab on a UITTabBarController

    To display the mobile inbox in this way, configure a tab to load an IterableInboxNavigationViewController (either in code or with a storyboard).

    When using this approach, the tab representing the mobile inbox automatically shows a badge count for unread messages.

  2. In response to a user interaction

    To instantiate and display a mobile inbox in response to user interaction, use code similar to the following:

    let viewController = IterableInboxNavigationViewController()
present(viewController, animated: true)
