        from: "3.0.0"
    ),

Using the Plugin in your App

Open the file where you setup and configure the Analytics-Swift library. Add this plugin to the list of imports.

import Segment
import SegmentAppcues // <-- Add this line

Just under your Analytics-Swift library setup, call analytics.add(plugin: ...) to add an instance of the plugin to the Analytics timeline.

let analytics = Analytics(configuration: Configuration(writeKey: "<YOUR WRITE KEY>")
    .flushAt(3)
    .trackApplicationLifecycleEvents(true))
analytics.add(plugin: AppcuesDestination())

Your events will now begin to flow to Appcues in device mode.
