Track Touch Data in iOS

Release License

Touch Tracking is an RCOS project that collects data about a user's touches. The goal is to visualize this data in order to help both designers and developers have a better understanding of how iOS devices are used. Touch Tracking records the following properties of each touch:

  • "t" : The time in seconds at which the touch occured, relative to the first touch in the sequence.
  • "tc" : The tap count of each recorded touch.
  • "kb" : A boolean value that reflects whether the touch was keyboard input.
  • "x" : The x coordinate in points that represents the center of the touch.
  • "y" : The y coordinate in points that represents the center of the touch.

Note: Touch tracking disables any tracking of keyboard interaction by default.

Touch tracking writes this data to logs seperated by each calander date. Example, 01_01_2016.json. Logs are stored in the following locations:

  • Active Log /var/mobile/Library/TouchTracking/
  • Closed Log /var/mobile/Library/TouchTracking/Closed/
  • Uploaded Log /var/mobile/Library/TouchTracking/Closed/Uploaded/

All logs contain only the information listed above, and are uploaded anonymously with the user's permission.
