SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill streamlines adding PostHog analytics to Swift iOS and macOS applications so engineers can track events, identify users, and capture errors without guessing integration patterns or breaking app sandboxing and dependency management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SDK initialization: Clear guidance to configure PostHogConfig and initialize PostHogSDK in SwiftUI or UIKit app entry points.
  • User identification & correlation: Best-practice patterns for calling identify on login, passing distinct IDs between client and backend, and resetting on logout.
  • Event capture & error tracking: Examples for capturing key product events and exceptions (e.g., dashboard_viewed, user_logged_in, test_error_triggered) and where to place them.
  • Integration details: Advice for adding the posthog-ios Swift Package Manager dependency, using environment variables for POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN and POSTHOG_HOST, and respecting macOS App Sandbox network rules.
  • Use case: Instrument a login flow to identify users, track conversion events, and capture errors to correlate frontend behavior with backend events.

Quick Start

Add the PostHog Swift package to your Xcode project, set POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN and POSTHOG_HOST in your Xcode scheme environment variables, and initialize PostHogConfig in your App initializer to begin capturing events and identifying users.

Frequently Asked Questions about integration-swift

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate PostHog analytics into a Swift iOS app?▼

To integrate PostHog analytics in Swift, add the posthog-ios Swift Package Manager dependency to your Xcode project, configure POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN and POSTHOG_HOST environment variables, and initialize PostHogConfig in your app entry point to begin capturing events.

How do I identify users and track events in SwiftUI with PostHog?▼

Identify users in SwiftUI by calling PostHog's identify method upon login with a distinct ID, use capture for product events like dashboard_viewed, and call reset on logout to clear user session data and maintain accurate tracking correlation.

Can I use PostHog SDK in macOS apps with App Sandbox enabled?▼

Yes, PostHog SDK works in macOS apps with App Sandbox enabled. The integration guidance includes configuring PostHogConfig while respecting macOS App Sandbox network rules to ensure outbound analytics traffic functions correctly without sandbox violations.

What's the best way to capture client-side errors in Swift using PostHog?▼

The best way to capture client-side errors in Swift using PostHog is placing capture calls within exception handling flows to log events like test_error_triggered. This correlates frontend error behavior with backend events for comprehensive tracking.

Do I need Swift Package Manager to add PostHog to my iOS project?▼

Yes, adding the PostHog Swift package via Swift Package Manager is the recommended method for dependency setup in iOS and macOS projects. It ensures proper SDK initialization and integration with PostHogConfig in your Xcode environment.
