The AppConnect interface
The AppConnect interface provides your app’s primary interactions with the AppConnect library. The AppConnect interface declares static methods that your app uses to initialize its use of the AppConnect library and get the singleton instance of the AppConnect object. For details, see:
| • | Use AppConnect’s UIApplication subclass |
| • | Initialize the AppConnect library. |
The AppConnect interface also declares the properties and methods your app uses to interact with the AppConnect library. However, the app cannot access the instance properties on the AppConnect singleton until the AppConnect singleton has completed its initialization. For details about checking when the AppConnect singleton is ready, see:
| • | Wait for the AppConnect singleton to be ready |
| • | AppConnect ready API details |
