Video Call using Sinch
To use video calls in your Chat SDK app, the first think you need to do is purchase the video call module:
Once that is done, you will receive an archive containing the Sinch Video Call source code.
Unzip this archive and put it in a known location. Then update your Podfile to add it as a development pod:
pod "ChatSDKSinch", :path => "path/to/ChatSDKSinch"
Then run:
pod install
Now you need to activate your module. In the App Delegate, add the following:
For development:
let modules = [
...
SinchModule.shared().setup(key: "sinch key", secret: "sinch secret"),
]
In production:
SinchModule.shared().setup(key: "Sinch key", jwtProvider: { userId in
return "generate a JWT on your server"
})
To get your Sinch key and secret, you will need to make an account on the Sinch website:
Click: Voice and Video -> Apps -> Create New App
Sinch allows you either to embed your secret inside the app (this is insecure so only appropriate for development). Or to authenticate with a JWT.
To make the JWT, use this guide:
Sinch for iOS uses VoIP push notifications. For that to work, you need to upload and Apple Push key to the Sinch dashboard:
Once this is done, you can start a call from either the chat screen (1-to-1 only) or the user's profile page.
