WebRTC Abstraction Layer (WAL)

This lib is currently only for demo purposes and presents the basic mechanics of a WebRTC connection for iOS. The usage is restricted to video calls. There is no api to create an audio only call yet. Keep in mind that there is no security or authorization provided!

Installation with CocoaPods

Add the following to your Podfile

pod 'WAL'

Run pod install

Prerequisite

• Swift 4.1
• Xcode 9
• Set Privacy notice for camera and microphone
• Docker for the signaling server

Signaling Server

As you may know you will need some kind of signaling to create a WebRTC connection. This lib uses a signaling server called Spreed. Fortunately they provide a docker image for their webservice which you can start the following way:

docker run --rm --name my-spreed-webrtc -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443

Or create a docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3'
services:
  spreed:
    image: "spreed/webrtc"
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
      - "8443:8443"

Then you can just run docker-compose up

TURN Server

If you want to connect calls through differnet networks you will have to use a STUN/TURN server. I suggest to use the coturn server for this purpose.

Run this turnserver with:

turnserver --user user:pass -f -v -n -a -r option

Please ensure that the port 3478 is open for udp and tcp traffic.

Usage

import WebRTC
import WAL

To create a connection:

let currentConnection = WebRTCConnection(with: WebRTConnection.Config(...), delegate: self)
// Join room on signaling server
currentConnection.join(roomName: "Whale")

Implement the WebRTCConnectionDelegate:

func webRTCConnection(_ sender: WebRTCConnection, didReceiveLocalCapturer localCapturer: RTCCameraVideoCapturer)
func webRTCConnection(_ sender: WebRTCConnection, didReceiveRemoteVideoTrack remoteTrack: RTCVideoTrack)
func webRTCConnection(_ sender: WebRTCConnection, didReceiveLocalAudioTrack remoteTrack: RTCAudioTrack)
func webRTCConnection(_ sender: WebRTCConnection, didReceiveRemoteAudioTrack remoteTrack: RTCAudioTrack)
func webRTCConnection(_ sender: WebRTCConnection, userDidJoin userId: String)
func webRTCConnection(_ sender: WebRTCConnection, didChange state: WebRTCConnection.State)
func didOpenDataChannel(_ sender: WebRTCConnection)
func webRTCConnection(_ sender: WebRTCConnection, didReceiveDataChannelData data: Data)
func didReceiveIncomingCall(_ sender: WebRTCConnection, from userId: String)i

To initiate a call:

currentConnection.connect(toUserId: userId)

To answer an incoming call:

currentConnection.answerIncomingCall(userId: userId)

To send data via data channel:

currentConnection.send(data: data)
