This example will provide step-by-step guidance on:
-
Initializing Configurations with Default Values: Learn how to set up all configurations using default values, simplifying the integration process and ensuring a seamless start.
-
Creating and Binding a Simple Asset while Initiating Tracking: Discover how to create a basic asset, bind it to your application, and kickstart the tracking process, enabling real-time monitoring of asset locations.
-
Receiving AssetTrackingCallback in Your ViewController: Understand how to receive and utilize AssetTrackingCallback in your ViewController, enabling you to respond to tracking events and location updates effectively.

Code Highlights
The above code snippet is a class inherited from the UIViewController class, which is the base class for all view controllers in iOS.
-
The class also conforms to the AssetTrackingCallback protocol, which means that the class will receive callbacks from the AssetTracking class.
-
The class has four outlet properties: startTrackingBtn, stopTrackingBtn, trackingStatus, and locationInfo. These properties are linked to the corresponding UI elements in the view controller's storyboard.
-
The class has two methods to start and stop tracking the asset. These methods call the AssetTracking.shared.startTracking() and AssetTracking.shared.stopTracking() methods, respectively.
-
The class has six methods to handle the callbacks from the AssetTracking class. These methods are:
-
onTrackingStart(assetId: String): This method is called when the tracking for the asset starts.
-
onTrackingStop(assetId: String, trackingDisableType: NBAssetTracking.TrackingDisableType): This method is called when the tracking for the asset stops.
-
onLocationSuccess(location: CLLocation): This method is called when the location of the asset is successfully retrieved.
-
onLocationFailure(error: Error): This method is called when the location of the asset cannot be retrieved.
-
onLocationServiceOff(): This method is called when the location services are turned off.
-
showLocationAlert(): This method shows an alert to the user to turn on the location services.
-
Here is a more detailed explanation of some of the key concepts in the code:
-
AssetTracking: This is the class that is responsible for tracking assets.
-
AssetTrackingCallback: This is a protocol that must be adopted by classes that want to receive callbacks from the AssetTracking class.
-
CLLocation: This is a class that represents a location on Earth.
