TVJS methods

Here is a list of TVJS methods that are provided by the tvOS library.

Configuration methods

version

Returns the current version of the Adobe Mobile library.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
version()
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
var sdkVersion = ADBMobile.version();
```
- Returns: String
privacyStatus

Returns the NSUInteger representation of the privacy status enum for current user.

Here are the options:
- ADBMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn: Hits are sent immediately.
- ADBMobilePrivacyStatusOptOut: Hits are discarded.
- ADBMobilePrivacyStatusUnknown: If offline tracking is enabled, hits are saved until the privacy status changes to opt-in (hits are sent) or opt-out (hits are discarded).
  
  If offline tracking is not enabled, hits are discarded until the privacy status changes to opt-in. THe default value is set in the ADBMobileConfig.json file.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
privacyStatus()
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
var privacyStatus = ADBMobile.privacyStatus();
```
- Returns: Number
setPrivacyStatus

Sets the privacy status for the current user to one of the following values:
- ADBMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn: Hits are sent immediately.
- ADBMobilePrivacyStatusOptOut: Hits are discarded.
- ADBMobilePrivacyStatusUnknown: If offline tracking is enabled, hits are saved until the privacy status changes to opt-in (hits are sent), or opt-out (hits are discarded).
If offline tracking is not enabled, hits are discarded until the privacy status changes to opt-in.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
setPrivacyStatus(privacyStatus)
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADBMobile.setPrivacyStatus(ADBMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn);
```
lifetimeValue

Returns the lifetime value of the current user. The default value is 0.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
lifetimeValue()
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
var ltv = ADBMobile.lifetimeValue();
```
- Returns: Number
userIdentifier

Returns the user identifier if a custom identifier has been set. Returns nil if a custom identifier is not set. The default is nil.

Important: If your app upgrades from the Experience Cloud 3.x to 4.x SDK, the previous custom or automatically generated visitor ID is retrieved and stored as the custom user identifier. This preserves visitor data between SDK upgrades. For new installations on the 4.x SDK, user identifier is nil until set.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
userIdentifier()
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
var uid = ADBMobile.userIdentifier();
```
- Returns: String
setUserIdentifier

Sets the user identifier.

```
ADBMobile.setUserIdentifier(‘myUserId’);
```
- Returns: N/A
- Parameter: userID
  - Type: String
  - New identifier for this user.
setAdvertisingIdentifier

Sets the IDFA in the SDK, and if it has been set in the SDK, the IDFA is sent in lifecycle. The IDFA can also be accessed in Signals (Postbacks).

Important: Retrieve the IDFA from Apple APIs only if you are using an ad service. If you retrieve IDFA, and are not using it properly, your app might be rejected.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
setAdvertisingIdentifier(idfa)
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADBMobile.setAdvertisingIdentifier(‘myIdfa’);
```
- Returns: N/A

```
- Returns: N/A
- Parameters: logging
  - Type: Bool
  - Value indicating whether the Adobe SDK should log to the debug console.

Analytics methods

trackStateData

Tracks an app state with optional context data. States are the views that are available in your app, such as home dashboard , app settings , cart, and so on. These states are similar to pages on a website, and trackState calls increment page views.

If the state is empty, it displays as app name app version (build) in reports. If you see this value in reports, ensure you set the state in each trackState call.

Tip: This is the only tracking call that increments page views.

```
trackLocationWithLatLonData

Sends the current latitude and longitude coordinates.

Also uses points of interest (POI) that are defined in the ADBMobileConfig.json file to determine whether the location that you entered as a parameter is in any of your POIs. If the current coordinates are in a defined POI, a context data variable is populated and sent with the trackLocation call.
- Here is the syntax for this method:

Tip: This call does not send a hit.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
trackTimedActionStartData(name [, contextData])
```
  - Returns: N/A
  - Parameter: name
    - Type: String
    - Name of the timed action being started.

```
ADBMobile.trackTimedActionStartData(‘level1’, {‘userId’:42423});
```
trackTimedActionUpdateData

Pass in data to update the context data that is associated with the given action.

The data passed in is appended to the existing data for the given action, and if the same key is already defined for action, the data is overwritten.

Tip: This call does not send a hit.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
trackTimedActionUpdateData(name [, contextData])
```
  - Returns: N/A
  - Parameter: name
    - Type: String
    - Name of the timed action being updated.
  - Parameter: contextData
    - Type: Object
    - Additional context data for this hit.

```
trackTimedActionEndJsLogic(name [, callback])
```
  - Returns: N/A
  - Parameters: name
    - Type: String
    - Name of the timed action being ended

    - Type: function(inAppDuration, totalDuration, data)
    - Callback method that will have inAppDuration (number), totalDuration (number), and data (context data object) in its parameters.
      
      You can suppress the final hit from being sent by the SDK by returning false in your callback function.
  - Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADBMobile.trackTimedActionEndJsLogic(‘level1’, 
function(inAppDuration, totalDuration, data) {
    // do something with final values
    return true;
    });
```

```
  - Returns: Bool
  - Parameter: name
    - Type: String
    - Name of the timed action for which you need to check existence.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
var actionExists = ADBMobile.trackTimedActionExistsJs(‘level1’);
```
trackingIdentifier

Returns the automatically generated visitor identifier.

This is an app-specific unique visitor ID that is generated by Adobe’s servers. If Adobe's servers cannot be reached at the time of generation, the ID is generated by using Apple's CFUUID. The value is generated at the initial launch and is stored and used from that point. This ID is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application back up process, and is removed when the app is uninstalled.

Tip: If your app upgrades from the Experience Cloud 3.x to 4.x SDK, the previous custom or automatically generated visitor ID is retrieved and stored as the custom user identifier. This preserves visitor data between SDK upgrades. For new installations on the 4.x SDK, the user identifier is nil, and the tracking identifier is used. For more information, see the userIdentifier row below.
