Facebook Ios Sdk
This software is a mobile app analytics toolkit, a social graph API client, and a social sharing library for iOS. Its primary purpose is to enable the tracking of application events and ad conversions, the retrieval of user profiles and social connections from the Facebook Graph API, and the publication of content to social feeds and messaging services.
The toolkit provides specialized capabilities for social login integration and identity management, including the handling of access tokens and session refreshing. It features a dedicated system for deep link navigation to route users to specific in-app content and an invitation system to encourage application adoption.
The SDK covers broader functional areas including marketing attribution through SKAdNetwork reporting and aggregated events measurement. It also includes tools for tracking in-app purchases, managing gaming-related media uploads, and verifying application integrity to prevent unauthorized access.
