GetStream feeds without enrichment - ios

Because of some requirements, we don't want to use the enrichment system where stream gets from its own collection the data objects.
In fact, we want to do it as the backend would do, using our own database, but directly from the client (because we don't use any database)
However, when retrieving the activities, we get the following: (iOS)
JSON decoding error: The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format..
We create activities in the way that, actor is User:UserID, Object is Object:PostID, Verb:ActionEnum.
That's all we do.. but one more time, we are facing issues on iOS SDK..
Why?

To anyone having this issue, it was coming from the iOS SDK itself... It turned out that, using the REST API from our client solved the issue, but we had to use the "extra" field part of Go to deliver our required data :)
Hope it helps

Firebase chat backup/export like whatsapp in SWIFT

i implemented a chat app in swift using firebase real time db, there user can send images, emojis and Text.Now i have a requirement of export chat or get the conversation's backup with media and text as per whatsApp.help me to solving it out.
While Firebase offers a backup for the Realtime Database, this doesn't fit your needs here, since you'll want a per-user export of the data.
Since this is specific to your application, you will have to code it yourself, just like the good folks at WhatsApp have probably done. It should be a matter of iterating over all data sources for the user, getting the data through the relevant API (that you're already using to display that data), and then writing to a local file). You can do this either client-side in your Swift code, or server-side on a server you already may have, or using Cloud Functions.
If you're looking for some inspiration for the latter, there is a sample repository that shows how to clean up a user's data, based on a set of wipe-out rules. You'll need to significantly modify this example though, so I'm not convinced this will be less work than rolling your own from scratch.

Import data from another source into Adobe Analytics

I’m trying to tie data from another product with my data inside of Adobe Analytics.
We have Adobe Analytics javascript on our website collecting data and we use a third party tool to track how users interact with certain parts of the website. We’re trying to use the Adobe API to tie the data together.
So far we’ve gone down the path of using the Data Insertion API, but it wasn’t quite right as it’s meant to be used as a replacement for the JS, from what I can tell.
We also explored using the Data Sources API. Now the documentation for this suggests you can use a transaction ID to tie offline data with the data collected from the JS, we’ve tried this and it doesn’t match the data up. We’re now exploring using Visitor ID to tie the sessions together but we’re having problems uploading any rows with the Visitor ID column, Adobe just returns the error “Column header: ‘visitorid’ is not a valid column header”. We’ve tried several different variations of visitor id, such as “visitor_id”, “visitor-id”, “vistor id”, etc and still no luck.
The end goal is for us to be able to upload data to Adobe that will update/add eVars for already existing sessions earlier that day. How would I go about doing this? Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?
Edit: I managed to solve this problem by using the Adobe SAINT API. When a user arrives at the site, we push an eVar for that user with a unique ID and then the day after we use the SAINT API and the unique ID in the eVar we pushed previously to add the additional data we needed.
It could be a good idea to look back at the Data Insertion API and combine it with the visitorId approach where you tie existing/old visitorID's to new eVars and use the timestamp to "update" the dataset.
Although this is experimental, it might be worth a try.
Best regards,

How to parse GTFS data on iOS using swift?

I am using http://datamine.mta.info/list-of-feeds api to get GTFS data for United States transportation.
When you call http://datamine.mta.info/mta_esi.php?key=<key>&feed_id=1 api you get one "gtfs" file which contains data that I need to parse in iOS so that I can display.
Once I get the file, how do I parse it? So far I haven't found a way to do so. Anyone can help me on this?
Thanks,
Pratik
The MTA requires that you serve the realtime data from your own server, so you might as well parse the Protocol Buffers server-side, and then make your data available to your iOS app from your server. If you do it that way, then you can use e.g., a Python or C++ library to parse the PB into JSON or whatever and structure it in an optimal way for your app for download.

String saved in IOS app, accessible from web browser. Best method?

As the title says, I'm looking for a string to be input in an IOS app and stored in a way that it would be accessible from a web browser.
Both editable and readable from web and the app.
From initial googling, I've come across Dropbox Datastore API but it is being deprecated.
What would be a good alternative for this?
Your intentions are quite scant. However, I assume you want a little more than just reading and writing a string. Inferring a bit more context, you should look at Apple's CloudKit.
It has API for iOS, OS X, and apparently now javascript. See this link for more details.
You need some code running on a server and a database to save the string, with an API to access this string from a client.
FireBase is probably the simplest drop in solution since it gives you a very basic example and a web based UI for testing (plus it updates in realtime)

Storing data in Iphone

I have a web site. This is a drupal site using PostgreSQL database.In this web site we can get direction data from one city to another by going to direction tab and giving start and end location.go to this URL and check that. http://www.zoomsrilanka.com/pathfinder .
direction data is loaded to dashboard. I want export that direction data to a iPhone so that this data can be used another application in the iPhone. If I tell in another words I want to send that data and need to store in a iPhone so that it can be used for another task. I want to know that how to store data in iPhone?
If you have control for the website you mentioned, You can create one webservice which will give you the required data in XML format by accepting parameters from iPhone.
i.e. you can call webservice from iPhone passing parameters and your webservice will provide response to that request in the form of XML and on receiving XML you can parse that and use according to your requirement.
It's not possible to share data between different IPhone applications. Each application has it's own "storage".
You can create API if you have access of server which you mentioned, API should give XML/JSON in response, so iPhone can take this response and parse accordingly, and store structure in sqlite local database.
