Getting Started - React Native SDK

React Native apps require native configuration on both Android and iOS. The quickest way to get started is:

1. Install the SDK packages

   npm install "@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk" "@videosdk.live/react-native-incallmanager"
   # or
   yarn add "@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk" "@videosdk.live/react-native-incallmanager"

2. Configure the native modules

   • Android: add the WebRTC module to settings.gradle, register WebRTCModulePackage in MainApplication.java, update Gradle properties, and request the required permissions. Full steps are in the Android setup guide.
   • iOS: run pod install, enable background modes if required, and update the entitlements/permissions as documented in the iOS setup guide.
   • Expo: follow the extra configuration in the Expo setup guide to configure the custom development client.

3. Initialize the SDK

   Register the VideoSDK modules before rendering your app:

   index.js

   import { register } from "@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk";
   import App from "./src/App";
   
   register();

4. Verify permissions

   Ensure camera, microphone, bluetooth, and screen-sharing permissions are requested within the app before joining a meeting.
