iOS (ACP 2.x)
React Native
Java
To register media with Mobile Core, call the setApplication() method in onCreate() and call set up methods, as shown in this sample:
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.*;
​
public class MobileApp extends Application {
​
  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
      super.onCreate();
      MobileCore.setApplication(this);
​
      try {
          Media.registerExtension();
          Analytics.registerExtension();
          Identity.registerExtension();
          MobileCore.start(new AdobeCallback () {
              @Override
              public void call(Object o) {
                  MobileCore.configureWithAppID("your-launch-app-id");
              }
          });
      } catch (InvalidInitException e) {
​
      }
  }
}
Swift
In your app's _:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions function, register the Audience Manager extension with the Mobile Core:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
   MobileCore.registerExtensions([Media.self, Analytics.self, Identity.self], {
   MobileCore.configureWith(appId: "yourAppId")
 })  
 ...
}
Objective-C
In your app's application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, register Media with Mobile Core:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    [AEPMobileCore registerExtensions:@[AEPMobileMedia.class, AEPMobileAnalytics.class, AEPMobileIdentity.class] completion:^{
    [AEPMobileCore configureWithAppId: @"yourAppId"];
  }];
  ...
}
Swift
In your app's _:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions function, register the Audience Manager extension with the Mobile Core:
import ACPCore
import ACPAnalytics
import ACPIdentity
import ACPMedia
​
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
                 didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    ACPCore.setLogLevel(.debug)
    ACPCore.configure(withAppId: "your-launch-app-id")
​
    ACPAnalytics.registerExtension()
    ACPIdentity.registerExtension()
    ACPMedia.registerExtension()
​
    ACPCore.start {
​
    }
​
    return true;
}
Objective-C
In your app's application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, register Media with Mobile Core:
#import "ACPCore.h"
#import "ACPAnalytics.h"
#import "ACPIdentity.h"
#import "ACPMedia.h"
​
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    [ACPCore setLogLevel:ACPMobileLogLevelDebug];
    [ACPCore configureWithAppId:@"your-launch-app-id"];
​
    [ACPAnalytics registerExtension];
    [ACPIdentity registerExtension];
    [ACPMedia registerExtension];
​
    [ACPCore start:^{
​
    }];
​
    return YES;
  }
JavaScript
When using React Native, registering Media with Mobile Core should be done in native code which is shown under the Android and iOS tabs.
