Permissions

Android — android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Declaring them is not enough on Android 6 and later; request them at runtime before joining.

iOS — ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Used for video calls</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Used for voice and video calls</string>

Without these the app terminates the first time it opens a device.

Quickstart

Tokens come from your server. Your API secret must never ship inside an app — anyone who extracts it can issue unlimited tokens on your account.

import 'package:applooma_rtc/applooma_rtc.dart';

final engine = AppEngine.create(appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID');

// A participant is announced before their camera arrives, so rebuild on this
// too — otherwise their tile stays black.
engine.onUserJoined.listen((_) => setState(() {}));
engine.onTrackSubscribed.listen((_) => setState(() {}));
engine.onUserLeft.listen((_) => setState(() {}));

// Your own endpoint, which calls POST https://api.applooma.dev/v1/token
// server-side with your API key and secret.
final session = await fetchToken(channel: 'lobby');

await engine.joinChannel(
  token: session.token,
  wsUrl: session.wsUrl,
  options: const AppJoinOptions(role: AppRole.host, camera: true),
);

Rendering:

AppVideoView.local(engine),
for (final user in engine.remoteUsers) AppVideoView.remote(user),

Controls:

await engine.enableCamera(false);
await engine.enableMicrophone(false);
await engine.enableScreenShare(true);
await engine.sendData(utf8.encode('hello'));
await engine.leaveChannel();
await engine.dispose();   // release the engine when the screen is gone

A complete app is in example/.

Roles

The role is fixed by the token your server issues, not by the client.

Role	Publish	Subscribe	Administer the channel
AppRole.host	yes	yes	yes
AppRole.cohost	yes	yes	no
AppRole.audience	no	yes	no

Use audience for viewers of a live stream. An audience token cannot publish, which is what keeps a large broadcast cheap and stable.
