Integrating React Native SDK for iOS

React JS SDK wraps up out JavaScript SDK into usable hooks API. It simplifies the code for React Native SDK.

Step 1: Install SDK from Npm or Yarn

The easiest way to get started is by installing the sdk in your app.

Npm

npm install "@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk"

Yarn

yarn add "@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk"

Step 2: Install @videosdk.live/react-native-incallmanager to manage media-routes/sensors/events during a audio/video chat on React Native

Npm

npm install "@videosdk.live/react-native-incallmanager"

Yarn

yarn add "@videosdk.live/react-native-incallmanager"

Step 3: Install all the dependencies via CocoaPods

IMPORTANT: Make sure you are using CocoaPods 1.10 or higher.

$[sudo] gem install cocoapods

Step 4: Manual linking (if react-native-incall-manager is not linked automatically)

• Select Your_Xcode_Project/TARGETS/BuildSettings, in Header Search Paths, add "$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/@videosdk.live/react-native-incall-manager/ios/RNInCallManager"

Step 5: Include in the Podfile in your react-native ios directory

Podfile

pod 'react-native-webrtc', :path => '../node_modules/@videosdk.live/react-native-webrtc'

Step 6: Change platform field of podfile to 12.0 or above it

You have change platform field of podfile to 12.0 or above it, as react-native-webrtc doesn’t support iOS < 12 platform :ios, ‘12.0’

Step 7: Install pods

Pod install

Step 8: Declare permissions in Info.plist

ios/projectname/info.plist

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Camera permission description</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Microphone permission description</string>

Step 9: Register services at index page of project

React Native CLI

import { register } from '@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk';
import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';
import { name as appName } from './app.json';
import App from './src/App.js';
​
// Register the service
register();

AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);

Expo

import { register } from '@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk';
import App from './App';
import { registerRootComponent } from 'expo';

// Register the service
register();

registerRootComponent(App);
