Configuration #

IOS #

  • Note: Example compilable with XCode 12.2 & Flutter 1.22.4.

Podfile

Ensure in your Podfile you have an entry like below declaring platform of 11.0 or above and disable BITCODE.

platform :ios, '11.0'

...

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
    end
  end
end

Info.plist

Add NSCameraUsageDescription and NSMicrophoneUsageDescription to your Info.plist.

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) MyApp needs access to your camera for meetings.</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) MyApp needs access to your microphone for meetings.</string>

Android #

Gradle

Set dependencies of build tools gradle to minimum 3.6.3:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3' <!-- Upgrade this -->
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
}

Set distribution gradle wrapper to minimum 5.6.4.

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip <!-- Upgrade this -->

AndroidManifest.xml

Jitsi Meet's SDK AndroidManifest.xml will conflict with your project, namely the application:label field. To counter that, go into android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and add the tools library and tools:replace="android:label" to the application tag.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="yourpackage.com"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"> <!-- Add this -->
    <application 
        tools:replace="android:label"  
        android:name="your.application.name"
        android:label="My Application"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
        ...
    </application>
...
</manifest>

Minimum SDK Version 23

Update your minimum sdk version to 23 in android/app/build.gradle

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.gunschu.jitsi_meet_example"
    minSdkVersion 23 //Required for Jitsi
    targetSdkVersion 28
    versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
    versionName flutterVersionName
}

Proguard

Jitsi's SDK enables proguard, but without a proguard-rules.pro file, your release apk build will be missing the Flutter Wrapper as well as react-native code. In your Flutter project's android/app/build.gradle file, add proguard support

buildTypes {
    release {
        // TODO: Add your own signing config for the release build.
        // Signing with the debug keys for now, so `flutter run --release` works.
        signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        
        // Add below 3 lines for proguard
        minifyEnabled true
        useProguard true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

Then add a file in the same directory called proguard-rules.pro. See the example app's proguard-rules.pro file to know what to paste in.

Note
If you do not create the proguard-rules.pro file, then your app will crash when you try to join a meeting or the meeting screen tries to open but closes immediately. You will see one of the below errors in logcat.

## App crashes ##

WEB #

To implement you need to include Jitsi Js library in the index.html of web section

<script src="https://meet.jit.si/external_api.js" type="application/javascript"></script>

Example:

<body>
  <!-- This script installs service_worker.js to provide PWA functionality to
       application. For more information, see:
       https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/service-workers -->
  <script>
    if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
      window.addEventListener('load', function () {
        navigator.serviceWorker.register('/flutter_service_worker.js');
      });
    }
  </script>
  <script src="https://meet.jit.si/external_api.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
  <script src="main.dart.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>

Note See usage example in jitsi_meet plugin

FeatureFlag #

Feature flag allows you to limit video resolution and enable/disable few features of Jitsi Meet SDK mentioned in the list below.
If you don't provide any flag to JitsiMeetingOptions, default values will be used.

We are using the official list of flags, taken from the Jitsi Meet repository

Flag Default (Android) Default (iOS) Description
addPeopleEnabled true true Enable the blue button "Add people", show up when you are alone in a call. Required for flag inviteEnabled to work.
calendarEnabled true auto Enable calendar integration.
callIntegrationEnabled true true Enable call integration (CallKit on iOS, ConnectionService on Android). SEE REMARK BELOW
closeCaptionsEnabled true true Enable close captions (subtitles) option in menu.
conferenceTimerEnabled true true Enable conference timer.
chatEnabled true true Enable chat (button and feature).
inviteEnabled true true Enable invite option in menu.
iOSRecordingEnabled N/A false Enable recording in iOS.
kickOutEnabled true true Enable kick-out option in video thumb of participants.
liveStreamingEnabled auto auto Enable live-streaming option in menu.
meetingNameEnabled true true Display meeting name.
meetingPasswordEnabled true true Display meeting password option in menu (if a meeting has a password set, the dialog will still show up).
pipEnabled auto auto Enable Picture-in-Picture mode.
raiseHandEnabled true true Enable raise hand option in menu.
recordingEnabled auto N/A Enable recording option in menu.
resoulution N/A N/A Set local and (maximum) remote video resolution. Overrides server configuration. Accepted values are: LD_RESOLUTION for 180p, MD_RESOLUTION for 360p, SD_RESOLUTION for 480p(SD), HD_RESOLUTION for 720p(HD) .

REMARK about Call integration Call integration on Android (known as ConnectionService) has been disabled on the official Jitsi Meet app because it creates a lot of issues. You should disable it too to avoid these issues.

JitsiMeetingResponse #

Field Type Description
isSuccess bool Success indicator.
message String Success message or error as a String.
error dynamic Optional, only exists if isSuccess is false. The error object.

Listening to Meeting Events #

Events supported

Name Description
onConferenceWillJoin Meeting is loading.
onConferenceJoined User has joined meeting.
onConferenceTerminated User has exited the conference.
onPictureInPictureWillEnter User entered PIP mode.
onPictureInPictureTerminated User exited PIP mode.
onError Error has occurred with listening to meeting events.

Per Meeting Events #

To listen to meeting events per meeting, pass in a JitsiMeetingListener in joinMeeting. The listener will automatically be removed when an
onConferenceTerminated event is fired.

await JitsiMeet.joinMeeting(options,
  listener: JitsiMeetingListener(onConferenceWillJoin: ({message}) {
    debugPrint("${options.room} will join with message: $message");
  }, onConferenceJoined: ({message}) {
    debugPrint("${options.room} joined with message: $message");
  }, onConferenceTerminated: ({message}) {
    debugPrint("${options.room} terminated with message: $message");
  }, onPictureInPictureWillEnter: ({message}) {
	debugPrint("${options.room} entered PIP mode with message: $message");
  }, onPictureInPictureTerminated: ({message}) {
	debugPrint("${options.room} exited PIP mode with message: $message");
  }));

Global Meeting Events #

To listen to global meeting events, simply add a JitsiMeetListener with
JitsiMeet.addListener(myListener). You can remove listeners using
JitsiMeet.removeListener(listener) or JitsiMeet.removeAllListeners().

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  JitsiMeet.addListener(JitsiMeetingListener(
    onConferenceWillJoin: _onConferenceWillJoin,
    onConferenceJoined: _onConferenceJoined,
    onConferenceTerminated: _onConferenceTerminated,
    onPictureInPictureWillEnter: _onPictureInPictureWillEnter,
    onPictureInPictureTerminated: _onPictureInPictureTerminated,
    onError: _onError));
}

@override
void dispose() {
  super.dispose();
  JitsiMeet.removeAllListeners();
}

_onConferenceWillJoin({message}) {
  debugPrint("_onConferenceWillJoin broadcasted");
}

_onConferenceJoined({message}) {
  debugPrint("_onConferenceJoined broadcasted");
}

_onConferenceTerminated({message}) {
  debugPrint("_onConferenceTerminated broadcasted");
}

_onPictureInPictureWillEnter({message}) {
debugPrint("_onPictureInPictureWillEnter broadcasted with message: $message");
}

_onPictureInPictureTerminated({message}) {
debugPrint("_onPictureInPictureTerminated broadcasted with message: $message");
}

_onError(error) {
  debugPrint("_onError broadcasted");
}
