    • Once the extension is configured, users should add appropriate dependencies in the Mobile App using Cocoapods for iOS and Gradle for Android. Follow the directions here.
    • Always take the latest versions of the libraries.
    • In Mobile App, register Campaign, UserProfile, Identity, Lifecycle and Signal extensions. Follow the directions here.
    • Once extensions are registered, start ACPCore. For Android, be sure to setApplication onCreate(). Follow the exact instructions provided in Mobile Install Instructions for your Mobile Property in Launch.
    • Following SDK APIs will also be required. Implement Lifecycle Start and Pause APIs as described here for Android and here for iOS.

Depending on your business need, you may fire CollectPII calls in response to user logging in the app, or purchasing something or lifecycle event or user entering a geofence etc. To sum up, an interaction of user with the app that generates information you would want to use for Profile enrichment.
