How to get BLOB and LocationHint with the AEP SDK?

Hi @emilio-ojeda, 

Short answer is yes. But I want to highlight that with the AEP SDKs we have a newer event based architecture and we publish all the events and the related data into eventhub. You can get the BLOB and LocationHint values by dispatching Identity request and extracting the blob and locationHint from the response. Make sure you have Identity extension registered.

Here is the sample for that:

let sampleEvent = Event(name: "fetchBlobAndLocationHint", type: EventType.identity, source: EventSource.requestIdentity, data: nil)
      MobileCore.dispatch(event: sampleEvent) { identityResponseEvent in
      guard let state = identityResponseEvent?.data  else {
           return
        }
        let blob = state["blob"] as? String ?? ""
        let locHint = state["locationhint"] as? String ?? ""
        print("#blob:\(blob) | locHint:\(locHint)")
}

Let me know if this works, or you want to proceed on the UserDefaults route.

Thanks,
Arjun
