Create Jitsi Meet Framework for native iOS application and integrate in Xcode Project

Published Mar 06, 2019

Create JITSI Meet Framework From react native Code:

Configure jitsi-meet react native application on your system run it and make it work
Open Xcode project run it on iOS device check if all works as is..
Build it cmd+b using Xcode (for generic device)
Inside app>Frameworks section click on
Copy “JitsiMeet.framework” file from here to your project folder
Copy “WebRTC.framework” file from path “jitsi-meet-master⁩ ▸ ⁨node_modules⁩ ▸ ⁨react-native-webrtc⁩ ▸ ⁨ios⁩” to your project folder
First Add these 2 to your framework then to embedded binaries

Other required details:

Bitcode is not supported, so turn it off for your project.
The SDK uses Swift code, so make sure you select Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries in your project.
Since the SDK requests camera and microphone access, make sure to include the required entries for NSCameraUsageDescription and NSMicrophoneUsageDescription in your Info.plist file.
Last, since the SDK shows and hides the status bar based on the conference state, you may want to set UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to NO in your Info.plist file.

Simulator: Frame work exported in this way will not allow you to run application on Simulator. In order to run app on simulator build app with simulator selected and follow above steps.

Release:

When uploading your build to appstore you might face these issues:

In order to get rid of those, you will need to add a run script on your Xcode.

Script:

echo "Target architectures: $ARCHS"

APP_PATH="${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${WRAPPER_NAME}"

find "$APP_PATH" -name '*.framework' -type d | while read -r FRAMEWORK
do
FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME=$(defaults read "$FRAMEWORK/Info.plist" CFBundleExecutable)
FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH="$FRAMEWORK/$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME"
echo "Executable is $FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
echo $(lipo -info "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH")

FRAMEWORK_TMP_PATH="$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-tmp"

# remove simulator's archs if location is not simulator's directory
case "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}" in
*"iphonesimulator")
    echo "No need to remove archs"
    ;;
*)
    if $(lipo "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH" -verify_arch "i386") ; then
    lipo -output "$FRAMEWORK_TMP_PATH" -remove "i386" "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
    echo "i386 architecture removed"
    rm "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
    mv "$FRAMEWORK_TMP_PATH" "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
    fi
    if $(lipo "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH" -verify_arch "x86_64") ; then
    lipo -output "$FRAMEWORK_TMP_PATH" -remove "x86_64" "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
    echo "x86_64 architecture removed"
    rm "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
    mv "$FRAMEWORK_TMP_PATH" "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
    fi
    ;;
esac

echo "Completed for executable $FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
echo $(lipo -info "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH")

done

This script simply removes i386 and x86_64 slices from fat binary (if they exist) if running not for simulator (that means destination folder isn't like "Debug-iphonesimulator").
