iOS SDK overview

The Glean Feed iOS SDK puts your feedback board, roadmap, and changelog inside your app—in a native sheet, with your branding and signed-in customers—instead of sending them to Safari. It’s a thin Swift package: native SwiftUI and UIKit entry points around your hosted Glean Feed portal, loaded in a WKWebView. You get the full portal (submitting, voting, commenting, statuses) without re-implementing any of it natively.

​

Choose the iOS SDK when

Use the iOS SDK when you ship a native iPhone app and want the ready-made Glean Feed portal experience inside it. The SDK supplies SwiftUI and UIKit presentation APIs around the hosted portal, plus signed identity, unread counts, and optional diagnostics. Choose another path when:

​

Requirements

• iOS 14+
• Swift 5.9+, Swift Package Manager
• A Glean Feed workspace with the portal enabled

​

What it does

• setup once at launch, then present feedback, roadmap, or changelog from SwiftUI or UIKit.
• Optional signed identity so a logged-in customer’s feedback ties to their account—the signature is generated on your backend, never in the app.
• An unread count for a native badge or “What’s new” dot.
• Optional diagnostics with app, OS, and SDK versions only—never logs, screenshots, tokens, or personal information.

​

What it does not do (v1)

• No fully native feedback/roadmap/changelog UI — it presents the hosted portal.
• No Android, React Native, Flutter, or macOS.
• No push notifications, app-icon badges, background refresh, or file attachments.

Supported path

Finish with troubleshooting if installation, identity, presentation, notifications, or diagnostics do not behave as expected.
