Skeleton Extension

The Skeleton Extension is a bare bones Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDK V5 third party extension allowing you to write your own custom extension. The contained projects are not full examples of using a third party extension, but instead contain common boilerplate implementations which you may use to start your own custom extension.

Next Steps

Beyond this client-side extension, take some time to explore the Launch UI extension to see how you can define Configuration keys, Data Elements, Events, Conditions and Actions that are all used in the Launch rules engine.

Here you can find an example of how to write the Launch UI mobile extension associated with your client-side extension.
