iOS Uninstall Tracking

    ...
}

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    [UIApplication.sharedApplication registerForRemoteNotifications];
  
    return YES;
}

Swift

func application(_ application: UIApplication,
                 didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data)
{
    AirBridge.registerPushToken(deviceToken)
}

Objective-C

Swift

func application(_ application: UIApplication,
                 didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any],
                 fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void)
{
    if userInfo["airbridge-uninstall-tracking"] as? Int == true {
        return;
    }
  
    ...
}

Objective-C

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler {
    if ([userInfo[@"airbridge-uninstall-tracking"] boolValue] == YES) {
        return;
    }
  
    ...
}
