Built upon Agora RTC, AgoraChatCallKit is a UI library that uses Agora Chat as the signaling channel. This library provides APIs to implement one-to-one audio and video calls and multi-party calls.

AgoraChatCallKit is integrated in the Agora Chat demo. You can download the iOS demo from our open-source repository on Github.

The source code of the demo does not involve SDKs and AgoraChatCallKit. You can directly import them or install them using CocoaPods.

Install CocoaPods if you have not. For details, see Getting Started with CocoaPods.

If you use CocoaPods for installation, first navigate to the directory where podfile resides and run the following command in the Terminal:

pod install

After the required SDKs and AgoraChatCallKit are installed, open the workspace AgoraChat.xcworkspace on Xcode and connect to the mobile phone to run the demo.

Before proceeding, ensure that your development environment meets the following requirements:

• A device running iOS 10.0 or above.
• Agora Chat is integrated to provide basic functions like login, contact, group, and conversation.
• An Agora app is created.
• Token authentication is activated. You need to implement your own App Server.
• A valid Agora Chat account.

Follow these steps to integrate AgoraChatCallKit:

1. The user calls the API to initialize AgoraChatCallKit.
2. The caller calls the API to initiate a call. The call page appears.
3. The callee chooses whether to answer the call on the call request page.
4. The caller or callee click the Hung Up button on the page to end the call.

AgoraChatCallKit depends on the Agora_Chat_iOS, Masonry, AgoraRtcEngine_iOS/RtcBasic, and SDWebImage libraries. Therefore, you also need to import these libraries to the project, for example by using CocoaPods.

As AgoraChatCallKit is a dynamic library, you must add use_frameworks! to podfile.

AgoraChatCallKit can be imported manually or using CocoaPods.

In the Terminal, navigate to the root directory of the project and run the pod init command to generate the Podfile file in the project folder.

Open the Podfile file and modify the file content as follows. Remember to replace AppName with your own app name.

use_frameworks!
target 'AppName' do
    pod 'AgoraChatCallKit'
end

In the Terminal, run the pod update command to update the version of the local AgoraChatCallKit.

Run the pod install command to install AgoraChatCallKit. If the installation succeeds, the message Pod installation complete! is displayed in the Terminal. Then the xcworkspace file is generated in the project folder.

1. Copy AgoraChatCallKit.framework downloaded when you run through the demo, to the project folder.
2. On Xcode, choose Project Settings > General, drag AgoraChatCallKit.framework to the project, and set AgoraChatCallKit.framework to Embed & Sign under Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content.

The app requires permissions of audio/video devices and cameras. In the info.plist file, click + to add the following information:

If you hope to run AgoraChatCallKit in the background, you also need to add the permission to play audios and videos in the background:

1. Click + to add Required background modes to info.plist, with Type set as Array.
2. Add the App plays audio or streams audio/video using AirPlay element under Array.

If you want to use Apple's PushKit or CallKit service, you also need to select Voice over IP for Background Modes.
