Quick Start

SwiftUI

import Mixpanel
import MixpanelSessionReplay

struct YourApp: App {
    @Environment(\.scenePhase) private var scenePhase

    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
        .onChange(of: scenePhase) {
            if scenePhase == .active {
                let config = MPSessionReplayConfig(wifiOnly: false, enableLogging: true)
                MPSessionReplay.initialize(
                    token: Mixpanel.mainInstance().apiToken,
                    distinctId: Mixpanel.mainInstance().distinctId,
                    config: config
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

UIKit

import UIKit
import Mixpanel
import MixpanelSessionReplay

@main
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
        Mixpanel.initialize(token: "YOUR_MIXPANEL_TOKEN")

        let config = MPSessionReplayConfig(wifiOnly: false, enableLogging: true)
        MPSessionReplay.initialize(
            token: Mixpanel.mainInstance().apiToken,
            distinctId: Mixpanel.mainInstance().distinctId,
            config: config
        )
        return true
    }

    func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
        MPSessionReplay.getInstance()?.startRecording()
    }
}

Configuration

Customize your session replay by modifying MPSessionReplayConfig:

• wifiOnly: Restricts uploads to WiFi connections (default: true).
• autoMaskedViews: Automatically masks sensitive views (.image, .text, .web, .map by default).
• autoStartRecording: Whether or not to automatically start recording upon initialization (default: true)
• autoStartRecordingSessionsPercent: Controls session sampling from 0.0 (none) to 100.0 (all, default) when autoStartRecording is true .
• enableLogging: Turn on debug logs (default: false)
• flushInterval: How frequently to flush replay events (default: 10 seconds)

---

Privacy & Data Masking

By default, Mixpanel automatically masks sensitive views:

• All text field inputs (cannot be unmasked)
• Images, Labels, WebViews, MapViews (can be manually adjusted)

To manually control sensitivity:

// SwiftUI
Image("photo").mpReplaySensitive(true)

// UIKit
yourUIView.mpReplaySensitive = true
