#import "OTGlobal.h"
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Initialize the LightStep tracer implementation
LSTracer* tracer = [[LSTracer alloc] initWithToken:@"{your_access_token}"];
[OTGlobal initSharedTracer:tracer];
// <Your normal initialization code here>
return YES;
}
// Elsewhere:
- (void)someFunction:... {
id<OTSpan> span = [[OTGlobal sharedTracer] startSpan:@"someFunction:"];
...
[span finish];
