currentSessionId (iOS SDK API)

Syntax

currentSessionId; 
NewRelic.currentSessionId()

Returns ID for current session.

Requirements

Compatible with all agent versions.

Description

Returns the current session ID. This method is useful for consolidating monitoring of app data (not just New Relic data) based on a single session definition and identifier. For example, you might want to use the same identifier for marketing analytics or user analytics. This session ID will change every time the app comes to the foreground.

• Objective-C
• Swift

Returns ID string for the current session.
