Time has come. We need to enable bitcode. It's optional for iOS targets, but
mandatory for the entire project if there is a watchOS target. Since we have a
watchOS target, it's time to enable it.
The SDK will now search for an asset called "CallKitIcon" on the main bundle,
and fallback to a built-in asset it it's not there, allowing SDK users to
customize it by just adding asset with that name.
Consolidate all failure cases into a single one: CONFERENCE_TERMINATED. If the
conference ended gracefully no error indicator will be present, otherwise there
will be.
Since the SDK may be embedded with other apps, we need to recognize our custom
URL scheme and universal links in order to tell the user if we will process the
request or not.
Make them configurable with sane defaults.
This is mostly implemented in the app, with the needed support in the SDK. Since
the app needs to donate intents and deal with creating NSUserActivity objects it
doesn't feel right to do this in a library. Instead, we donate the intents from
the app, but the SDK is ready to extract conference URLs from any intent which
was registered as a conference activity.
This also opens the door for eventually adding Handoff support.
This is done at the app level, not the SDK.
Currently 2 Firebase services are used:
- Crashlytics
- Dynamic Links
They are enabled in tandem, if the appropriate Google services file
(GoogleService-Info.plist on iOS or google-services.json on Android) is found.
Each service needs to be individually enabled in the Firebase console.
While having configuration-specific AppIcons may be of questionable use,
I'm more interested in using the Debug version for enterprise
distribution and the Release version for AppStore distribution.
JitsiMeetViewListener is an integral part of the public API of Jitsi
Meet SDK for Android. Utilize it in the Debug configuration of the Jitsi
Meet app for Android in order to increase (1) awareness of API breakages
and (2) API coverage.
The same goes for JitsiMeetViewDelegate in Jitsi Meet SDK and app for
iOS.
On iOS, if the app is closed the startup options are only passed as the
`launchOptions` dictionary of `applicationDidFinishLaunching`. Thus add a helper
method to be called from there by embedding applications so we can copy that
dictionary.
Before, Jitsi Meet (the app) would only link with JitsiMeet.framework, which in
turn embedded WebRTC.framework. While possible, Apple doesn't allow apps with
nested frameworks to be submitted to the store. Now the app will link with
WebRTC.framework directly so there is no framework nesting.
A potential improvement here is to build WebRTC as a static library so it can
then be embedded in JitsiMeet.framework and completely hidden from the app.
1. Aligns the project structure of Jitsi Meet SDK for iOS with that for
Android for better comprehension.
2. The command `react-native run-ios` uses the last Xcode project or
workspace in the list of these sorted in alphabetical order. Which
limits our freedom in naming. Thus having only an Xcode project in
the root directory of the iOS project structure gives us back the
freedom in naming.
3. Allows the Podspec to work for the app project in addition to the sdk
project because we need Crashlytics in the app which is integrated
via Cocoapods as well.
4. Further removes references to JitsiKit in the source code for the
sake of consistent naming.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Jitsi Meet SDK for iOS, the
mobile SDK which powers Jitsi Meet.
The goal is to encapsulate the entire React Native app into a framework / SDK
and offer an API for native (ObjC or Swift) applications to embed the Jitsi
conferencing experience.
While React Native can be embedded in native applications, I don't think it was
designed to be embedded as part of a framework, hidden away from the application
using it. This surfaced as a number of issues which had to be addressed
specifically due to our use-case:
- Universal / deep linking needed to be wrapped to avoid the embedding app from
linking with RN.
- The bundle URL had to be manually constructed, since RN considers that all
resources are in the main bundle, but in case of a framework that is not the
case.
- Custom fonts had to be manually loaded, since UIAppFonts doesn't work on the
framework's Info.plist file.
- The RN packager has to be manually triggered since the React project will no
longer do it for us.
- Custom App Transport Security rules were added since the builtin way to do it
modifies the framework's Info.plist, which is useless in this case.
At this stage, the Jitsi Meet application is just a small single view
application which uses the Jitsi Meet SDK to create a single view which
represents the entire application. Events and external conference handling are
forthcoming.
It will render as white in dark backgrounds. This is what FaceTime does and what
we already do on Android. The problem with the default look (black text) is
noticeable in audio only mode, since the background is dark.
Now that Apple have approved build 1.3.204 for release in the App Store,
the short app version needs to be incremented; otherwise, no new builds
can be uploaded to TestFlight and, respectively, for release in the App
Store.
Now that Apple have approved build 1.2.199 for release in the App Store,
the short app version needs to be incremented; otherwise, no new builds
can be uploaded to TestFlight and, respectively, for release in the App
Store.
Now that Apple have approved build 1.1.185 for release in the App Store,
the short app version needs to be incremented; otherwise, no new builds
can be uploaded to TestFlight and, respectively, for release in the App
Store.
Simplify the source code (with the idea that source code which does not
exist does not have to be maintained).
Additionally, apply modifications to have the source code comply with the coding
style.
Overall, prepare saghul:audio-mode for merge into jitsi:master.
Now that Apple have approved build 1.0.178 for release in the App Store,
the short app version needs to be incremented; otherwise, no new builds
can be uploaded to TestFlight and, respectively, for release in the App
Store.
The launch screen appears not centered and/or clipped on certain
devices. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce it when I deploy the app to
devices and Simulator from Xcode 8.1. It may (or may very well not) be
that the Xcode version matters and the enterprise build server does
appear to use an older Xcode version.
LaunchScreen.xib compiles locally with Xcode 8.1 but the enterprise
build fails. A possibility is that the enterprise build machine is
running an older Xcode version.
