</body>
</html>

Enable Logging

  • Add before Branch.sharedInstance.start(with: config)
  • Remove before releasing to production
Branch.loggingIsEnabled = true

Branch.loggingEnabled = YES;

Use Test Key

To use the Branch test key instead of the live key, initialize the BranchConfiguration with the test key.

  • The test key of the app must match the test key of your deep link
  • Switch back to the live key before releasing to production
BranchConfiguration *configuration = [[BranchConfiguration alloc] initWithKey:@"key_test"];

let config = BranchConfiguration(key: "key_test")
