Mesibo iOS SDK for Chat, Video and Voice Calls, and Conferencing

The Mesibo SDKs for iOS are available as CocoaPods pods OR individual frameworks that can be installed manually.

Minimum Requiements

• Latest stable Xcode version. Check here for the latest Xcode version.
• Target iOS 11.0 and above
• Ensure to add -ObjC linker flag to your Xcode project (“Build Settings -> Linking -> Other Linker Flags”)

Install Using CocoaPods

CocoaPods is an open source dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects, which automates the process of using 3rd-party libraries like Mesibo in your projects. For details, see the CocoaPods Getting Started guide.

If you prefer to install manually, you can click here.

If you already have the CocoaPods tool, skip to Step 2.

Step 1: Install CocoaPods

CocoaPods is an open source dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects, which automates the process of using 3rd-party libraries like Mesibo in your projects. For details, see the CocoaPods Getting Started guide.

You can install CocoaPods by running the following commands in Terminal.app:

$ sudo gem install cocoapods
$ pod setup

Depending on your Ruby installation, you may not have to run as sudo to install the cocoapods gem.

Step 2: Create a Podfile

Project dependencies to be managed by CocoaPods are specified in a file name Podfile. Create this file in the same directory as your Xcode project (.xcodeproj) file and Copy and paste the following lines into it:

target "YourTargetName" do
    source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
    pod 'mesibo'
end

This will install mesibo core API framework into your project.

Step 3: Install Mesibo Core API Framework

Now you can install or update to the latest mesibo frameworks in your project:

$ pod install
$ pod update

From now on, be sure to always open the generated Xcode workspace (.xcworkspace) instead of the project file when building your project:

$ open <YourProjectName>.xcworkspace

You can always update to the latest version by running above commands.

Step 4: Install Mesibo Calls & Conferencing and Messaging UI Framework

Similarly, you can also install mesibo-calls and mesibo-ui framework as following:

target "YourTargetName" do
    source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
    pod 'mesibo-ui'
    pod 'mesibo-calls'
end

You also need to add Metal and MetalKit frameworks in your project.

Step 4: That’s All!

At this point, everything’s in place for you to start using Mesibo. Just #import the headers for the classes you need and start coding!

#import <Mesibo/Mesibo.h>
#import <MesiboUI/MesiboUI.h>
#import <MesiboCall/MesiboCall.h>

Pod Troubleshooting

In case pod is not able to sync all the frameworks, following can help

rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
rm -rf Pods
rm Podfile.lock
pod cache clean --all
pod install --repo-update

Disable bitcode and use a physical device if you are using Calls framework.

Install Manually

You can add mesibo frameworks manually to your project.

You can download all the Mesibo frameworks for iOS from GitHub OR by by running the following commands in Terminal.app:

$ git lfs install
$ git clone https://github.com/mesibo/mesiboframeworks.git

If you are using, Mesibo Call framework, you also need to download Mesibo WebRTC framework by downloading from GitHub OR by by running the following commands in Terminal.app:

$ git lfs install
$ git clone https://github.com/mesibo/mesibowebrtcframework.git

2. Add following iOS frameworks to your project - ‘Photos’, ‘AddressBook’, ‘CoreMedia’, ‘AVFoundation’, ‘AssetsLibrary’, ‘SystemConfiguration’, ‘MobileCoreServices’, ‘CoreTelephony’

3. Import header in your project

#import <Mesibo/Mesibo.h>

Mesibo Voice and Video Call & Conferencing Framework

1. Drag mesibocall.framework to your xcode project. Xcode will prompt you for various options - make sure to select Copy items if needed

2. Right-click mesibocall.framework in your project, and select “Show In Finder”.

4. Import header in your project

#import <MesiboCall/MesiboCall.h>

Mesibo UI Framework

1. Drag messaging.framework to your xcode project. Xcode will prompt you for various options - make sure to select Copy items if needed

2. Right-click messaging.framework in your project, and select “Show In Finder”.

3. Drag the messagingui.bundle from the Resources folder into your project. When prompted, ensure that Copy items into destination group’s folder is NOT selected.

4. Import header in your project

Mesibo UI SDK uses google map and place API to send location. Hence, in order to use this feature, you must be having Google map and place framework and also your Google API key in the info.plist - refer how to get your google map api key and install it.

You can now begin developing features with mesibo. Be sure you update these frameworks each time mesibo is updated.
