Native libraries for Adobe analytics(Experince Cloud)

[#1]

Are there native libraries for the following tech stack and where are these libraries available? What would be the best way to integrate Adobe analytics with cross-platform native mobile applications?

• Universal Windows Platform (UWP) - Windows 10 (Surface & Desktop)
• Xamarin.iOS native (iPAD& iPhone)

Are API Data insertion and Data Sources alternative approaches to JavaScript tag implementation? What are the pros and cons for all options listed on the Adobe site.

• Adobe Launch
• JavaScript/Tag implementation
• API Data insertion
• Data Sources
• Offline/Batch upstream for Adobe Analytics (FTP)

ashas64068369 Yes these can be used for mobile app implementation, you can also get the latest version from here: mobile-services/sdks at master · Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/mobile-services · GitHub ashas64068369

Are both winmd and adobe dll files to be referenced in a UWP project or only the winmd file is sufficient?

Thank you!

Would you be able to provide an example of how to pass Context data in UWP SDK Method Calls.

Does the below look right?
         
IDictionary<string, object> dictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();

dictionary.Add("site.type", "mobile");

ADBMobile.Analytics.TrackState("viewName",dictionary);

When you debug using fiddler it appears as shown below

GET
/b/ss/rsid/……..&pageName=viewName&.a&site.&type=mobile

Thank you. However there are some SDKs listed under Adobe Mobile Services section. See screen shot below. Can these be used for analytics purposes?

These are all the AppMeasurement libraries available for Adobe Analytics: Developer AppMeasurement Libraries

Data insertion API and data sources are indeed alternate methods to get data into Adobe Analytics. The insertion API would be more of a server-to-server setup, while data sources would be more file-based uploads.

If you have a basic site setup and don't have any special needs, Launch is going to be your best bet. If you have additional use cases that would require more creative ways to get data into Adobe Analytics, other options can be explored.
