FAQ

How can I get an API Key?​

Please contact us at Start a trial with SkyPath.

What server domain is used by the SDK?​

SDK uses *.skypath.io server domain. Please check the Whitelisting section on how to setup a proxy server.

What is Battery Consumption?​

The main battery consumer is the screen and the brightness setting. SkyPath usage is negligible on its own.

We performed many tests, which are also validated by the airlines we work with SkyPath operates in a power-saving mode:

Ground mode -

  • In the background - no tracking at all.
  • In the foreground - minimum accuracy to check if airborne (3km).

If airborne - change accuracy to ‘best’ in both, background and foreground until landing

What is Network Data Consumption?​

SkyPath data logic is highly optimized and works on updates and changes. In addition, the SDK supports corridor along the route to be even more conservative.

Network logic:

  • Along the route, the H3 hexagons are updated every minute (configurable).
  • Viewport fetches the data only on demand.

On average SkyPath consumes a few MBs per standard flight (4 hours). If the corridor is enabled, significantly less than that.

What about Security & Privacy?​

Data is completely anonymized and hashed, only the aggregation is displayed without any specific information shared between airlines.

  • Security in the dev process
  • Periodic pentesting
  • Certification - SOC2 TYPE 2
  • Our auditors are PwC

Upload Symbols Failed​

During uploading your app to the App Store, you may get a warning "Upload Symbols Failed - The archive did not include a dSYM for the SkyPathSDK.framework". The SkyPath SDK does not include a dSYM file, and it is safe to discard this warning.

Here is an answer from the Apple Engineer

This is a new warning in Xcode 16 where if you're missing a dSYM, Xcode lets you know in case you aren't expecting that — this is to reduce scenarios where you won't are able to fully symbolicating frames coming from your app's code in crash reports. In some cases, you may not have a dSYM, such as a closed source library from a vendor, and in those cases, the warning is safe to discard.
