API End Points Supported

1. To Get Access Token Endpoint : => https://docs.v-empower.com/docs/MeetHour-API/a44a7d7669f91-user-login-get-access-token

       ApiServices.login({
               grant_type, client_id, client_secret, username, password
           });

   => You have to pass respective values in the argument section. Hence, to get desired response.

2. To schedule a meeting: => https://docs.v-empower.com/docs/MeetHour-API/2de4b757a6312-meeting-schedule-meeting

       ApiServices. scheduleMeeting(token: string, body: ScheduleMeetingType)

Usage

In this SDK, you can make APIs calls and allow join the conference in Native View or React Native View.

import MeetHour, {MeetHourView, ApiServices} from 'react-native-meet-hour-sdk';
import React, {useState, useEffect} from 'react';
import {
  StyleSheet,
  View,
  Pressable,
  Text,
  Platform,
  Alert

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 MeetHour 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 {
        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://repo.meethour.io/maven/releases/"
        }
    }
}

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="go.meethour.io.react.sdk.MeetHourActivityExtended">
</activity>

5.) And set your minSdkVersion to be at least 24.

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "33.0.1"
        minSdkVersion = 24 // <-- this line
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33
        ndkVersion = "20.1.5948944"
    }
    ...

        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize|uiMode"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">

Troubleshooting

If your having problems with duplicate_classes errors, try exclude them from the react-native-meet-hour-sdk project implementation with the following code:

implementation(project(':react-native-meet-hour-sdk')) {
  
      // 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-async-storage'
//     exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-community_netinfo'
//     exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-svg'
//     exclude group: 'com.facebook.react', module:'react-native-gesture-handler'
//     exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-fetch-blob'
//     exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-webview'
//     exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-linear-gradient'
//     exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-sound'
//     exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-add-calendar-event'
}

If you are having problems -> Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:exported"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml to override.

Please add the below code in manifest.xml

    <provider
        android:name="com.reactnativecommunity.webview.RNCWebViewFileProvider"
        android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
        android:enabled="false"
        android:exported="true"
        tools:replace="android:authorities,android:exported">
    </provider>
