yarn add @bortolilucas/react-native-jitsimeet
or
npm i --save @bortolilucas/react-native-jitsimeet
Usage
The package can be invoked in two modes
- As a new Activity/UIViewController on top of RN Application
- As a RN View
import JitsiMeet, { JitsiMeetView } from '@bortolilucas/react-native-jitsimeet';
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, View, Pressable, Text } from 'react-native';
const conferenceOptions = {
room: 'ReactNativeJitsiRoom',
userInfo: {
displayName: 'React Native Jitsi Meet Example',
email: '[email protected]',
avatar: 'https://picsum.photos/200',
},
featureFlags: {
'live-streaming.enabled': false,
},
};
function App() {
const [showJitsiView, setShowJitsiView] = useState(false);
const startJitsiAsNativeController = async () => {
/*
Mode 1 - Starts a new Jitsi Activity/UIViewController on top of RN Application (outside of JS).
It doesn't require rendering JitsiMeetView Component.
*/
await JitsiMeet.launchJitsiMeetView(conferenceOptions);
/*
Note:
JitsiMeet.launchJitsiMeetView will return a promise, which is resolved once the conference is terminated and the JitsiMeetView is dismissed.
*/
};
/*
The localParticipant leaves the current conference.
*/
const hangUp = () => {
JitsiMeet.hangUp();
};
if (showJitsiView) {
/* Mode 2 - Starts Jitsi as a RN View */
return (
<JitsiMeetView
style={styles.jitsiMeetView}
options={conferenceOptions}
onConferenceTerminated={(_) => setShowJitsiView(false)}
onConferenceJoined={(e) => console.log(e.nativeEvent)}
onConferenceWillJoin={(e) => console.log(e.nativeEvent)}
/>
);
}
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Pressable
onPress={startJitsiAsNativeController}
style={({ pressed }) => [
styles.pressable,
{ opacity: pressed ? 0.5 : 1 },
]}
>
<Text style={styles.pressableText}>
Start Jitsi on top of RN Application
</Text>
</Pressable>
<Pressable
onPress={() => setShowJitsiView(true)}
style={({ pressed }) => [
styles.pressable,
{ opacity: pressed ? 0.5 : 1 },
]}
>
<Text style={styles.pressableText}>Start Jitsi as a RN View</Text>
</Pressable>
</View>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
},
pressable: {
width: '80%',

See Options for further information.
iOS install
1.) This library uses Swift code, so make sure that you have created the Objective-C bridging header file
.
If not, open your project in Xcode and create an empty Swift file.
Xcode will ask if you wish to create the bridging header file, please choose yes.
For more information check Create Objective-C bridging header file.
2.) Replace the following code in AppDelegate.m (ONLY required for mode 1. If you're using mode 2, skip this step):
UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIViewController new];
rootViewController.view = rootView;
self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
with this one
UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIViewController new];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
rootViewController.view = rootView;
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
This will create a navigation controller to be able to navigate between the Jitsi component and your react native screens.
3.) Add the following lines to your Info.plist
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Camera Permission</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Microphone Permission</string>
<key>NSCalendarUsageDescription</key>
<string>Calendar Permission</string>
4.) Modify your platform version in Podfile and Xcode to have platform version 12.0
or above.
5.) In Xcode, under Build settings
set Enable Bitcode
to No
and Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries
to Yes
.
6.) In Xcode, under Signing & Capabilities
add the capability Background Modes
and check Voice over IP
. Otherwise, it won't work well in background.
7.) Clean your project and run npx pod-install
.
Android install
1.) In android/app/build.gradle
, add/replace the following lines:
project.ext.react = [
entryFile: "index.js",
bundleAssetName: "app.bundle",
...
]
2.) In android/app/src/main/java/com/xxx/MainApplication.java
add/replace the following methods:
import androidx.annotation.Nullable; // <--- Add this line if not already existing
...
@Override
protected String getJSMainModuleName() {
return "index";
}
@Override
protected @Nullable String getBundleAssetName() {
return "app.bundle";
}
3.) In android/build.gradle
, add the following code
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
jcenter()
maven {
// All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
}
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
maven { // <---- Add this block
url "https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-maven-repository/raw/master/releases"
}
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
4.) In the <application>
section of android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
, add (ONLY required for mode 1. If you're using mode 2, skip this step)
<activity
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:resizeableActivity="true"
android:supportsPictureInPicture="true"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
android:name="com.reactnativejitsimeet.JitsiMeetActivityExtended">
</activity>
5.) And set your minSdkVersion to be at least 24.
buildscript {
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3"
minSdkVersion = 24 // <-- this line
compileSdkVersion = 29
targetSdkVersion = 29
ndkVersion = "20.1.5948944"
}
...
}
6.) Remove allow back up from Androidmanifest.xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.sdktest">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:name=".MainApplication"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:allowBackup="false" <-- this line
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize|uiMode"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Troubleshooting
If your having problems with duplicate_classes

implementation(project(':bortolilucas_react-native-jitsimeet')) {
// Un-comment below if using hermes
exclude group: 'com.facebook',module:'hermes'
// Un-comment any packages below that you have added to your project to prevent `duplicate_classes` errors
exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-locale-detector'
exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-vector-icons'
// exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-community-async-storage'
