Access RSID from config downloaded using

[thomas-chris]

I've registered my app using MobileCore.configureWith(appId: adobeAppId) in the completion of MobileCore.registerExtensions.

If i've understood what this is doing it replaces the need to have a file manually added to my bundle (which is how things used to be set up when I was on v4 stuff that is deprecated.

I thought looking I should be able to use MobileCore.getSdkIdentities to fetch the values from this file, but that doesn't appear so. I want to get access to the RSID value that is sent in the json that is downloaded at app launch, how can i do this?

@thomas-chris Hello. I apologize for the lack of documentation on the subject, we are working on migrating our docs and will have better documentation on this subject soon. There is a bit to unwrap here so let me try and explain.

The file you are talking about manually adding to the bundle, which includes the RSID value, is called Configuration. The configuration file is downloaded remotely upon registering your extensions. MobileCore.getSdkIdentities should return the analytics.rsids value as part of the completion handler's data as long as the user is opted-in. So, under these conditions, you might not be getting the RSID value when you call MobileCore.getSdkIdentities if:

1. The remote configuration has not yet been downloaded before you call it. (if you are calling MobileCore.getSdkIdentities immediately after registration for instance, you are probably not giving enough time for the configuration to download.
2. The privacy status is set to optedOut

There are a couple of things you can do to work around these conditions:

1. Use a bundled Configuration to ensure that calling MobileCore.getSdkIdentities returns the RSID value as long as the user is opted in.
2. Use the MobileCore.registerEventListener API to listen for a configurationResponse event. This will trigger a callback when the remote configuration has been downloaded with the configuration. Here is an example of this API in action for your use case:

        MobileCore.registerEventListener(type: "Configuration Response Event", source: "com.adobe.eventSource.responseContent") { event in

            if let rsid = event.data?["analytics.rsids"] {
                
            }

        }

Please let me know if this works for you or if you have any other questions. Thanks.

Chris
