Here are some important characteristics of the logging mechanism provided by `FBAppEvents`: + Events are not sent immediately when logged. They're cached and flushed out to the Facebook servers in a number of situations: - when an event count threshold is passed (currently 100 logged events). - when a time threshold is passed (currently 60 seconds). - when an app has gone to background and is then brought back to the foreground. + Events will be accumulated when the app is in a disconnected state, and sent when the connection is restored and one of the above 'flush' conditions are met. + The `FBAppEvents` class in thread-safe in that events may be logged from any of the app's threads. + The developer can set the `flushBehavior` on `FBAppEvents` to force the flushing of events to only occur on an explicit call to the `flush` method. + The developer can turn on console debug output for event logging and flushing to the server by using the `FBLoggingBehaviorAppEvents` value in `[FBSettings setLoggingBehavior:]`. Some things to note when logging events: + There is a limit on the number of unique event names an app can use, on the order of 300. + There is a limit to the number of unique parameter names in the provided parameters that can be used per event, on the order of 10. This is not just for an individual call, but for all invocations for that eventName. + Event names and parameter names (the keys in the NSDictionary) must be between 2 and 40 characters, and must consist of alphanumeric characters, _, -, or spaces. + The length of each parameter value can be no more than on the order of 100 characters. */ @interface FBAppEvents : NSObject /* * Basic event logging */ /*! @method @abstract Log an event with just an eventName. @param eventName The name of the event to record.
