Jitsi Meet SDK for iOS

This directory contains the source code of the Jitsi Meet app and the Jitsi Meet SDK for iOS.

Jitsi Meet SDK

JitsiMeet is an iOS framework which embodies the whole Jitsi Meet experience and makes it reusable by third-party apps.

To get started:

1. Add a JitsiMeetView to your app using a Storyboard or Interface Builder, for example.

2. Then, once the view has loaded, set the delegate in your controller and load the desired URL:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
  [super viewDidLoad];

  JitsiMeetView *jitsiMeetView = (JitsiMeetView *) self.view;

  jitsiMeetView.delegate = self;
  [jitsiMeetView loadURL:nil];
}

JitsiMeetView class

The JitsiMeetView class is the entry point to the SDK. It a subclass of UIView which renders a full conference in the designated area.

delegate

Property for getting / setting the JitsiMeetViewDelegate on JitsiMeetView.

welcomePageEnabled

Property for getting / setting whether the Welcome page is enabled. If NO, a black empty view will be rendered when not in a conference. Defaults to NO.

NOTE: Must be set before loadURL:/loadURLString: for it to take effect.

loadURL:NSURL

[jitsiMeetView loadURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://meet.jit.si/test123"]];

Loads a specific URL which may identify a conference to join. If the specified URL is nil and the Welcome page is enabled, the Welcome page is displayed instead.

loadURLObject:NSDictionary

[jitsiMeetView loadURLObject:@{
    @"url": @"https://meet.jit.si/test123",
    @"configOverwrite": @{
        @"startWithAudioMuted": @YES,
        @"startWithVideoMuted": @NO
    }
}];

Loads a specific URL which may identify a conference to join. The URL is specified in the form of an NSDictionary of properties which (1) internally are sufficient to construct a URL (string) while (2) abstracting the specifics of constructing the URL away from API clients/consumers. If the specified URL is nil and the Welcome page is enabled, the Welcome page is displayed instead.

loadURLString:NSString

[jitsiMeetView loadURLString:@"https://meet.jit.si/test123"];

Loads a specific URL which may identify a conference to join. If the specified URL is nil and the Welcome page is enabled, the Welcome page is displayed instead.

Universal / deep linking

In order to support Universal / deep linking, JitsiMeetView offers 2 class methods that you app's delegate should call in order for the app to follow those links.

-  (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
continueUserActivity:(NSUserActivity *)userActivity
  restorationHandler:(void (^)(NSArray *restorableObjects))restorationHandler
{
  return [JitsiMeetView application:application
               continueUserActivity:userActivity
                 restorationHandler:restorationHandler];
}

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
            openURL:(NSURL *)url
  sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
         annotation:(id)annotation
{
  return [JitsiMeetView application:application
                            openURL:url
                  sourceApplication:sourceApplication
                         annotation:annotation];
}
