Record User Session in your App

PostHog has introduced an amazing new (beta) feature that will make you feel like a KGB agent. It's called session recordings. Basically, it records the user's screen and interactions with the app, so you can see exactly how they use your application.

How to Enable Session Recordings

To enable session recordings, you need to set the sessionReplay property to true in the PostHogConfig object during initialization. We do that in the initPostHog that is called by the AppDelegate when the app launches.

SwiftyLaunch sets it to true by default, but if you want to disable it, you can do so by setting it to false.

Additionally, we have set the screenshotMode property to true, which is required for session recordings to work in SwiftUI, and disabled automatic masking of all text inputs and images.

extension Analytics {
    static public func initPostHog() {
        do {
            // ... initial setup
 
            config.sessionReplay = true
            config.sessionReplayConfig.screenshotMode = true
            config.sessionReplayConfig.maskAllImages = false
            config.sessionReplayConfig.maskAllTextInputs = false
 
            PostHogSDK.shared.setup(config)
        } catch {
            print("[ANALYTICS] PostHog Init Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
            return
        }
    }
}
