A simple app that stores analytics in Core Data (not really recommended)
We'll use a Utility App template with Core Data (or clone this sample repo)
###Steps:
- Create an entity in core data called Analytics
- Give it the attributes:
- launchCount (Integer)
- Give it the attributes:
- You need to fetch a singular instance of Analytics
- You need to create it if it doesn’t exist
- (like RootMember)
- You need to increment the launch count everytime the app launches
Advice: You can do this all in the didFinishLaunching method. You could also create a controller that grabs the defaultAnalytics object, and add an increment method to the launch item itself. Up to you.
Note: It’s unconventional to have an object with a plural name, and it’s unconventional for the object to hold a singleton type value. We don’t need a database to persist one single instance of one single object with one single value. That’s just silly. But it’ll do for this test.
