react-native-zoom-bridge

React-native bridge for ZoomUs video conference calls android & iOS SDK's

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-zoom-bridge --save

Quick installation guide

npm i --save react-native-zoom-bridge

For iOS:

chmod +x ./node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/bin/import_dev_sdk.sh

./node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/bin/import_dev_sdk.sh

cd ios

pod install

Follow Extra steps for iOS

Afterwards you will have to rename the header imports in the whole SDK removing the leading MobileRTC/ from the header imports. see Incorrect header imports

For Android:

chmod +x ./node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/bin/import_aars.sh

./node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/bin/import_aars.sh

Pre-requisites

iOS

run in project root

$ chmod +x ./node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/bin/import_dev_sdk.sh

$ ./node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/bin/import_dev_sdk.sh

or download the development SDK manually from here or from the latest releases page https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-ios/releases and place all contents of lib folder in node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/ios/libs

run in project root

$ chmod +x ./node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/bin/import_prod_sdk.sh

$ ./node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/bin/import_prod_sdk.sh

or download the production SDK manually from here or from the latest releases page https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-ios/releases and place all contents of lib folder in node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/ios/libs

Important Note

SDK-type

Check out this https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/iOS/getting-started/integration#5-deployment and make sure you have the correct SDK for your build.

You can download the development sdk from here https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-ios/releases/download/v4.6.15084.0206/ios-mobilertc-all-4.6.15084.0206-n.zip on the latest releases page https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-ios/releases.

Check out the description on Zoom's github page https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-ios.

The issue when releasing to app store with unsupported architecture is because the development SDK works for both simulator and real device. You can work around this issue by following this answer to add script in Build Phases that filters out unsupported architectures: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30547283/submit-to-app-store-issues-unsupported-architecture-x86. You may want to modify the script to be more specific, i.e. replace '*.framework' with 'MobileRTC.framework'

Afterwards you will have to rename the header imports in the whole SDK removing the leading MobileRTC/ from the header imports. see Incorrect header imports

Android

run in project root

$ chmod +x ./node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/bin/import_aars.sh

$ ./node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/bin/import_aars.sh

or download the aar's manually from here and take out the aar files from /mobilertc-android-studio/mobilertc && /mobilertc-android-studio/commonlib and place both (commonlib.aar && mobilertc.aar) in node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/ios/libs

Once you have your SDK and aar's imported

Make sure they appear in their platform respective locations as follows:

iOS: node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/ios/libs

Android: node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/android/libs

you can continue to linking.

Mostly automatic linking

On react-native versions 60+ for ios just cd ios/ and pod install - make sure you already have the right SDK in the libs folder before running pod install

for lower react-native versions run $ react-native link react-native-zoom-bridge

Extra steps for Android

Since Zoom SDK *.aar libraries are not globally distributed it is also required to manually go to your project's android/build.gradle and under allprojects.repositories add the following:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        flatDir {
            dirs "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/android/libs"
        }
        ...
    }
    ...
}

If you have problem with multiDex go to your project's android/app/build.gradle and under android.defaultSettings add the following:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        multiDexEnabled true
        ...
    }
    ...
}

In order to use the latest SDK from zoom.us currently v4.6.21666.0429 you will have to set your api level to 29 and use build tools 29+ and min sdk to 21.

So make sure your settings are as follows:

ext {
  buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3"
  minSdkVersion = 21
  compileSdkVersion = 29
  targetSdkVersion = 29
}

and that you have build tools 29 installed.

Extra steps for iOS

1. In XCode, in your main project go to Build Settings tab:

• search for Enable Bitcode and make sure it is set to NO

2. In XCode, in your main project go to Info tab and in the following keys enter the appropriate description:

• NSCameraUsageDescription
• NSMicrophoneUsageDescription
• NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription
• NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription

Important

Incorrect header imports

If you get 'MobileRTC/MobileRTCConstants.h' not found error or Duplicate interface definition for class 'MobileRTCSDKInitContext' etc, then you have to rename the headers as follows throughout the whole SDK. Change the imports of the headers in the SDK e.g. from <MobileRTC/MobileRTC.h> to <MobileRTC.h> from <MobileRTC/MobileRTCConstants.h> to <MobileRTCConstants.h> and so on, basically you need to remove the leading MobileRTC/ throughout the project.

You can find "MobileRTC/" and replace with nothing "" and recompile.

Manual installation

iOS

1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name]
2. Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-zoom-bridge and add RNZoomBridge.xcodeproj
3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add libRNZoomBridge.a to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries
4. Run your project (Cmd+R)<
5. In XCode, in your main project go to General tab, expand Linked Frameworks and Libraries and add the following libraries:
   • libsqlite3.tbd

   • CoreBluetooth
   • VideoToolbox
   • ReplayKit
6. In XCode, in your main project go to General tab, expand Linked Frameworks and Libraries and add MobileRTC.framework:
   • choose Add other...
   • navigate to ../node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/ios/libs
   • choose MobileRTC.framework
7. In XCode, in your main project go to General tab, expand Embedded Binaries and add MobileRTC.framework from the list - should be at Frameworks.

   • navigate to ../node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/ios/libs
   • choose MobileRTCResources.bundle
   • choose Create folder references and uncheck Copy files if needed Note: if you do not have Copy Bundle Resources you can add it by clicking on top-left + sign
9. In XCode, in your main project go to Build Settings tab:
   • search for Framework Search Paths and add $(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/ios/libs with non-recursive

• Add import com.appgolaz.reactnative.RNZoomBridgePackage; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new RNZoomBridgePackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

2. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-zoom-bridge'
   project(':react-native-zoom-bridge').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/android')

Usage

import ZoomBridge from 'react-native-zoom-bridge';

await ZoomBridge.initialize(
  config.zoom.appKey,
  config.zoom.appSecret,
  config.zoom.domain
);

// Start Meeting
await ZoomBridge.startMeeting(
  displayName,
  meetingNo,
  userId, // can be 'null'?
  userType, // for pro user use 2
  zoomAccessToken, // zak token
  zoomToken // can be 'null'?

  // NOTE: userId, userType, zoomToken should be taken from user hosting this meeting (not sure why it is required)
  // But it works with putting only zoomAccessToken
);

// OR Join Meeting
await ZoomBridge.joinMeeting(
  displayName,
  meetingNo
);
