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

react-native-zoom-bridge

React-native bridge for ZoomUs video conference calls android & iOS SDK's (as of Jul 14, 2020 version 4.6.21666.0428)

Getting started

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

Quick installation guide

Pre-requisites

iOS

Important Note

SDK-type

When downloading the SDK manually 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

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
• NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription

Important

Incorrect header imports

If you get '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 make use of the find and replace function in XCode, find "MobileRTC/" and replace with nothing "" and recompile.

You should only have to do this if you manually download the SDK otherwise the import script in this library should do that for you.

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
   • libc++.tbd
   • libz.1.2.5.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.
8. In XCode, in your main project go to Build Phases tab, expand Copy Bundle Resources and add MobileRTCResources.bundle:
   • choose Add other...
   • 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
10. Follow Extra steps for iOS

Android

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

• 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')
   

3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

     implementation project(':react-native-zoom-bridge')
   

4. Follow Extra steps for 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
);

// OR Join Meeting with password
await ZoomBridge.joinMeetingWithPassword(
  displayName,
  meetingNo,
  'Enter password here'
);

CHANGELOG

Important before archiving a build for the App Store

See issue https://github.com/chaimPaneth/react-native-zoom-bridge/issues/24.

As of now this library isn't using MobileRTCScreenShare.framework and we need to delete this after downloading the sdk's otherwise you will get an error as below:

[Transporter Error Output]: ERROR ITMS-90171: "Invalid Bundle Structure - The binary file 'appname.app/Frameworks/MobileRTCScreenShare.framework/MobileRTCScreenShare' is not permitted. Your app can’t contain standalone executables or libraries, other than a valid CFBundleExecutable of supported bundles. Refer to the Bundle Programming Guide at https://developer.apple.com/go/?id=bundle-structure for information on the iOS app bundle structure."

[Transporter Error Output]: ERROR ITMS-90362: "Invalid Info.plist value. The value for the key 'MinimumOSVersion' in bundle appname.app/Frameworks/MobileRTCScreenShare.framework is invalid. The minimum value is 8.0"

[Transporter Error Output]: ERROR ITMS-90124: "The binary is invalid. The executable 'appname.app/Frameworks/MobileRTCScreenShare.framework/MobileRTCScreenShare' has type 'OBJECT' that is not valid. Only 'EXECUTE' is permitted."

[Transporter Error Output]: ERROR ITMS-90125: "The binary is invalid. The encryption info in the LC_ENCRYPTION_INFO load command is either missing or invalid, or the binary is already encrypted. This binary does not seem to have been built with Apple's linker."

[Transporter Error Output]: ERROR ITMS-90210: "Missing load commands. The executable at 'appname.app/Frameworks/MobileRTCScreenShare.framework' does not have the necessary load commands. Try rebuilding the app with the latest Xcode version. If you are using third party development tools, contact the provider."

After running the production SDK import script go to node_modules/react-native-zoom-bridge/ios/libs and delete MobileRTCScreenShare.framework then run pod install and only then prepare your archive for the App Store.
