# Jitsi Meet mobile apps
|
|
|
|
Jitsi Meet can also be built as a standalone mobile application for
|
|
iOS and Android. It uses the [React Native] framework.
|
|
|
|
First make sure the [React Native dependencies] are installed.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: This document assumes the app is being built on a macOS system.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: The app must be built for an actual device since the simulators don't
|
|
work properly with the native plugins we require.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## iOS
|
|
|
|
1. Install some extra dependencies
|
|
|
|
- Install ios-deploy globally (in case you want to use the React Native CLI
|
|
to deploy the app to the device)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g ios-deploy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may need to add ```--unsafe-perm=true``` if you are running on [Mac OS 10.11 or greater](https://github.com/phonegap/ios-deploy#os-x-1011-el-capitan-or-greater).
|
|
|
|
2. Build the app
|
|
|
|
There are 2 ways to build the app: using the CLI or using Xcode.
|
|
|
|
Using the CLI:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
react-native run-ios --device
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the app is launched from the CLI the output can be checked with the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
react-native log-ios
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using Xcode
|
|
|
|
- Open **ios/jitsi-meet-react.xcworkspace** in Xcode. Make sure it's the
|
|
workspace file!
|
|
|
|
- Select your device from the top bar and hit the "play" button.
|
|
|
|
When the app is launched from Xcode the Debug console will show the output
|
|
logs the application creates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Other remarks
|
|
|
|
It's likely you'll need to change the bundle ID for deploying to a device
|
|
because the default bundle ID points to the application signed by Atlassian.
|
|
|
|
This can be changed in the "General" tab. Under "Identity" set
|
|
"Bundle Identifier" to a different value, and adjust the "Team" in the
|
|
"Signing" section to match your own.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Android
|
|
|
|
The [React Native dependencies] page has very detailed information on how to
|
|
setup [Android Studio] and the required components for getting the necessary
|
|
build environment. Make sure you follow it closely.
|
|
|
|
1. Building the app
|
|
|
|
The app can be built using the CLI utility as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
react-native run-android
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will be launched on the connected Android device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Debugging
|
|
|
|
The official documentation on [debugging] is quite extensive, it is the
|
|
preferred method for debugging.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: When using Chrome Developer Tools for debugging the JavaScript code
|
|
is being interpreted by Chrome's V8 engine, instead of JSCore which
|
|
React Native uses. It's important to keep this in mind due to potential
|
|
differences in supported JavaScript features.
