InAppStory class

The main singleton class for managing data and customizing the display of lists and the reader.

Initialization​

Library Initialization is preferably carried out in AppDelegate:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool
{
	InAppStory.shared.initWith(serviceKey: <String>, testKey: <String>, settings: <Settings?>)
	return true
}
  • serviceKey - service authorization key <String>;
  • testKey - test authorization key in the service <String>;
  • settings - configuration object (<Settings> - optional).

Attention!
If you pass testKey, then the library will display the stories only in the "Moderation" status.
