Supported frameworks: Codeless, retroactive analytics

The Pendo Mobile SDK provides codeless, retroactive analytics across all of your app versions, as well as lightbox (in-app message), tooltips, and multi-step walkthrough guides built with Pendo’s Visual Design Studio.

Pendo supports the following frameworks: 

  • Native iOS
    • Supports both Objective-C and Swift apps
    • SwiftUI
  • Native Android 
    • Supports both Java and Kotlin apps
  • Xamarin for iOS and Xamarin for Android
  • Xamarin Forms 5 
  • MAUI Integration
  • React Native
    • React Navigation
    • React Native Navigation 
  • Expo
    • Expo for React Navigation
    • Expo for React Native Navigation

For installation instructions for each framework, see Add a mobile app. 

Supported frameworks: Track Events

Track Events are event-type information programmatically sent to Pendo. These events can be server-side for things like an API being called, an email being sent to a user, or other server events. In addition, you can pass client/browser-side events such as a browser error, download complete, or other events that aren’t automatically captured as click events or page load events. 

For installation instructions for each framework, go to the relevant link.

Hybrid mobile applications

Hybrid apps contain both mobile and web components (e.g. WebViews) to load web pages inside an app.

Pendo supports these kinds of apps by integrating the Mobile SDK to collect analytics and show guides for the Mobile parts, and also by integrating the web installation snippet to do the same for the web parts. 

You can view both streams of analytics on your Pendo subscription, but they are split between the two different API keys and user journeys are treated as sequential but separate sessions. 

Important: Despite the subscription being unified over the web and mobile applications, it is important to ensure Visitor IDs, Account IDs, and Metadata keys and values are the same across installations to avoid incoherent user journeys.
