Utility APIs

The iOS Client Object API provides utility APIs to support a variety of tasks.

• Using the Log Record APIs
  Every package has a LogRecordImpl table in its own database. The Unwired Server can send import messages with LogRecordImpl records as part of its response to replay requests (success or failure).
• Log Levels and Tracing APIs
  The MBOLogger class enables the client to add log levels to messages reported to the console.The application can set the log level using the setLogLevel method.
• generateGuid
  You can use the generateGuid method (in the LocalKeyGenerator class) to generate an ID when creating a new object for which you require a primary key. This generates a unique ID for the package on the local device.
• Callback Handlers
  A callback handler provides message notifications and success or failure messages related to message-based synchronization. To receive callbacks, register your own handler with a database, an entity, or both. You can use SUPDefaultCallbackHandler as the base class. In your handler, override the particular callback you want to use (for example, onImport).
• Date/Time
  Classes that support managing date/time objects.
• Apple Push Notification API
  The Apple Push Notification API allows applications to provide various types of push notifications to devices, such as sounds (audible alerts), alerts (displaying an alert on the screen), and badges (displaying an image or number on the application icon).
