WebRTC SDK for iOS

The following step-by-step instructions describe how to download, build, and run the Kinesis Video Streams WebRTC SDK in iOS and its corresponding samples.

Download the WebRTC SDK in iOS

To download the WebRTC SDK in iOS, run the following command:


$ git clone https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-ios.git

Build the WebRTC SDK in iOS

Complete the following steps:

Import the iOS WebRTC SDK into the XCode integrated development environment (IDE) on an iOS computer by opening KinesisVideoWebRTCDemoApp.xcworkspace (path: amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-ios/Swift/AWSKinesisVideoWebRTCDemoApp.xcworkspace).
If you open the project for the first time, it automatically builds. If not, initiate a build.

You might see the following error:
```
error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.
```
If you see this, do the following:
1. Change your current working directory to amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-ios/Swift and run the following in the command line:
```
pod cache clean --all
pod install
```
2. Change your current working directory to amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-ios and run the following at the command line:
```
$ git checkout Swift/Pods/AWSCore/AWSCore/Service/AWSService.m
```
3. Build again.
Configure Amazon Cognito (user pool and identity pool) settings. For details steps, see Configure Amazon Cognito for the iOS WebRTC SDK. This generates authentication and authorization settings required to build the iOS WebRTC SDK.

In your IDE, open the awsconfiguration.json file (from /Swift/KVSiOSApp). The file looks like the following:


{
    "Version": "1.0",
    "CredentialsProvider": {
        "CognitoIdentity": {
            "Default": {
                "PoolId": "REPLACEME",
                "Region": "REPLACEME"
            }
        }
    },
    "IdentityManager": {
        "Default": {}
    },
    "CognitoUserPool": {
        "Default": {
            "AppClientSecret": "REPLACEME",
            "AppClientId": "REPLACEME",
            "PoolId": "REPLACEME",
            "Region": "REPLACEME"
        }
    }
}

Update awsconfiguration.json with the values generated by running the steps in Configure Amazon Cognito for the Android WebRTC SDK.

In your IDE, open the Constants.swift file (from /Swift/KVSiOSApp). The file looks like the following:


import Foundation
import AWSCognitoIdentityProvider

let CognitoIdentityUserPoolRegion = AWSRegionType.USWest2
let CognitoIdentityUserPoolId = "REPLACEME"
let CognitoIdentityUserPoolAppClientId = "REPLACEME"
let CognitoIdentityUserPoolAppClientSecret = "REPLACEME"

let AWSCognitoUserPoolsSignInProviderKey = "UserPool"
let CognitoIdentityPoolID = "REPLACEME"

let AWSKinesisVideoEndpoint = "https://kinesisvideo.us-west-2.amazonaws.com"
let AWSKinesisVideoKey = "kinesisvideo"

let VideoProtocols =  ["WSS", "HTTPS"]

let ConnectAsMaster = "connect-as-master"
let ConnectAsViewer = "connect-as-viewer"

let MasterRole = "MASTER"
let ViewerRole = "VIEWER"

let ClientID = "ConsumerViewer"

Update Constants.swift with the values generated by running the steps in Configure Amazon Cognito for the Android WebRTC SDK.

Make sure your iOS device is connected to the Mac computer where you're running XCode. In XCode, select the connected device and then build and run the WebRTC iOS SDK.

This step installs an app called AWSKinesisVideoWebRTCDemoApp on your iOS device. Using this app, you can verify live WebRTC audio/video streaming between mobile, web and IoT device clients.

Run the iOS Sample Application

Complete the following steps:

On your iOS device, open AWSKinesisVideoWebRTCDemoApp and log in using either a new (by creating it first) or an existing Amazon Cognito account.
In AWSKinesisVideoWebRTCDemoApp, navigate to the Channel Configuration page and either create a new signaling channel or choose an existing one.

Note
Currently, using the sample application in this SDK, you can only run one signalling channel in AWSKinesisVideoWebRTCDemoApp.
(Optional) Choose a unique Client Id if you want to connect to this channel as a viewer. Client Id is required only if multiple viewers are connected to a channel. This helps channel's master identify respective viewers.
Choose the AWS Region and whether you want to send audio or video data, or both.
To verify peer-to-peer streaming, do any of the following:

Note
Ensure that you specify the same signaling channel name, AWS region, viewer ID, and the AWS account ID on all clients that you're using in this demo.
- Peer-to-peer streaming between two iOS devices: master and viewer
  - Using procedures above, download, build, and run the iOS WebRTC SDK on two iOS devices.
  - Open AWSKinesisVideoWebRTCDemoApp on one iOS device in master mode (choose START MASTER) to start a new session (signaling channel).
    
    Note
    Currently, there can only be one master for any given signaling channel.
  - Open AWSKinesisVideoWebRTCDemoApp on your second iOS device in viewer mode to connect to the signaling channel (session) started in the step above (choose START VIEWER).
    
    Verify that the viewer can see master's audio/video data.
- Peer-to-peer streaming between the embedded SDK master and an iOS device viewer
  - Download, build, and run the WebRTC SDK in C for Embedded Devices in master mode on a camera device.
  - Using procedures above, download, build, and run the iOS WebRTC SDK on an iOS device. Open AWSKinesisVideoWebRTCDemoApp on this iOS device in viewer mode and verify that the iOS viewer can see the embedded SDK master's audio/video data.
- Peer-to-peer streaming between iOS device as master and web browser as viewer
  - Using procedures above, download, build, and run the iOS WebRTC SDK on an iOS device. Open AWSKinesisVideoWebRTCDemoApp on this iOS device in master mode (choose START MASTER) to start a new session (signaling channel).
  - Download, build, and run the Kinesis Video Streams with WebRTC SDK in JavaScript for web applications as viewer and verify that the JavaScript viewer can see the Android master's audio/video.
