Track Touch Data in iOS
Touch Tracking is an RCOS project that collects data about a user's touches. The goal is to visualize this data in order to help both designers and developers have a better understanding of how iOS devices are used. Touch Tracking records the following properties of each touch:
- "t" : The time in seconds at which the touch occured, relative to the first touch in the sequence.
- "tc" : The tap count of each recorded touch.
- "kb" : A boolean value that reflects whether the touch was keyboard input.
- "x" : The x coordinate in points that represents the center of the touch.
- "y" : The y coordinate in points that represents the center of the touch.
Note: Touch tracking disables any tracking of keyboard interaction by default.
Touch tracking writes this data to logs seperated by each calander date. Example, 01_01_2016.json. Logs are stored in the following locations:
- Active Log
/var/mobile/Library/TouchTracking/ - Closed Log
/var/mobile/Library/TouchTracking/Closed/ - Uploaded Log
/var/mobile/Library/TouchTracking/Closed/Uploaded/
All logs contain only the information listed above, and are uploaded anonymously with the user's permission.
