Integrate the iOS Extension SDK

The iOS Extension SDK for Marketing Cloud Next adds support for rich notifications, push delivery tracking, and carousel templates to your iOS app. Use the extension SDK to enable these advanced push notification features.

The extension SDK works with the Mobile App Messaging SDK through Service Extensions and Content Extensions. These extensions run separately from your main app and handle notification delivery events and rich media content.

Before you integrate the iOS Extension SDK, complete these requirements:

Follow these steps to integrate the iOS Extension SDK:

  1. Configure the Service Extension to set up notification delivery tracking.
  2. Configure the Content Extension to enable rich media notifications.
  3. Enable App Groups to allow communication between the extensions and your app.
  4. Configure Carousel Click Actions to respond when a user taps on a carousel image.
