This plugin gives your team the power to easily integrate it into your Ionic application. Follow these simple steps:
Installation
Install the plugin using the popular single commands in the Terminal/PowerShell:
Cordova
|
$ ionic cordova plugin add @letscooee/cordova-plugin --variable COOEE_APP_ID="MY_COOEE_APP_ID"
$ npm install @awesome-cordova-plugins/lets-cooee
$ ionic cordova plugin add @letscooee/cordova-plugin --variable COOEE_APP_ID="MY_COOEE_APP_ID"
$ npm install @awesome-cordova-plugins/lets-cooee
﻿
This will automatically pull the latest version of the plugin.
﻿
Replace MY_COOEE_APP_ID with the App ID which is present at Cooee Portal.
Notification Service Configuration (Only for iOS)
This plugin adds CooeeNotificationServiceExtension as a new target in the iOS platform. Just add build number and build version in the new target. See the below image for reference.
﻿
Permission Usage
Cooee uses a few permissions, if granted (we do not ask explicitly), to better understand your customer to engage them as per their needs.
Android (Optional)
Cooee SDK supports prompting the following permissions via engagement. To make it work, you need to add the following in app's config.xml under <platforms name="android"> file:
XML
|
<!-- Cooee SDK use this permission to run Augmented Reality engagements -->
<config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/manifest">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
</config-file>

<!-- Cooee SDK use this permission to run Location based engagements -->
<config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/manifest">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
</config-file>
<!-- Cooee SDK use this permission to run Augmented Reality engagements -->
<config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/manifest">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
</config-file>

<!-- Cooee SDK use this permission to run Location based engagements -->
<config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/manifest">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
</config-file>
﻿
iOS (Required)
Apple requires a user-friendly description of such permissions as defined here. Add below code in your config.xml under <platforms name="ios">.
XML
|
<edit-config file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge" target="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription">
    <string>App uses location to search retailer location</string>
</edit-config>
<edit-config file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge" target="NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription">
    <string>App uses Bluetooth to find out nearby devices</string>
</edit-config>
<edit-config file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge" target="NSCameraUsageDescription">
    <string>Need to access your camera for a better AR experience</string>
</edit-config>
<edit-config file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge" target="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription">

</edit-config>
