iOS SDK (Swift)

Installation

Swift Package Manager:

https://github.com/tryterra/TerraiOS

CocoaPods:

pod 'TerraiOS'

Setup

import TerraiOS

class HealthManager {

    func initialize() {
        Terra.initTerra(
            devId: "botaniqalmedtech-testing-SjyfjtG33s",
            referenceId: getCurrentUserId()
        )
    }

    func connectAppleHealth(token: String) {
        Terra.initConnection(
            type: Connections.APPLE_HEALTH,
            token: token,
            schedulerOn: true  // Enable background sync
        ) { success, error in
            if success {
                print("Connected to Apple Health!")
            } else {
                print("Connection failed: \(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Unknown")")
            }
        }
    }
}

Reading Data

import TerraiOS

// Get activity data
Terra.getActivity(
    startDate: Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -7, to: Date())!,
    endDate: Date()
) { success, data, error in
    if success, let activities = data {
        for activity in activities {
            print("Activity: \(activity.metadata.type)")
            print("Calories: \(activity.calories_data.total_burned_calories)")
        }
    }
}

// Get sleep data
Terra.getSleep(startDate: startDate, endDate: endDate) { success, data, error in
    // Handle sleep data
}

// Get daily data
Terra.getDaily(startDate: startDate, endDate: endDate) { success, data, error in
    // Handle daily summaries
}

Writing Data (Apple Health)

// Post activity
Terra.postActivity(data: activityData) { success, error in
    if success {
        print("Activity posted to Apple Health")
    }
}

// Post planned workout (appears in Workout app)
let workout = PlannedWorkout(
    name: "Morning Run",
    type: "running",
    phases: [
        WorkoutPhase(type: "warmup", duration: 300),
        WorkoutPhase(type: "active", duration: 1800),
        WorkoutPhase(type: "cooldown", duration: 300)
    ]
)
Terra.postPlannedWorkout(data: workout) { success, error in
    // Workout now available on Apple Watch
}

Background Delivery

// Enable background delivery in AppDelegate
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions...) {
    Terra.setUpBackgroundDelivery()
}

// Data syncs automatically in background when schedulerOn: true

Backend Token Generation

Mobile SDKs require backend token generation:

# Flask example
from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_login import login_required, current_user
from terra import Terra

app = Flask(__name__)
terra = Terra(dev_id="...", api_key="...")

@app.route("/api/terra/token", methods=["POST"])
@login_required
def get_terra_token():
    """Generate auth token for mobile SDK."""
    response = terra.authentication.generateauthtoken(
        reference_id=str(current_user.id)
    )
    return jsonify({"token": response.token})

Token Expiration: 180 seconds (3 minutes), one-time use.
