SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of integrating real-time voice or video calling by providing a reliable way to join a CometChat call session and manage session lifecycle events in your iOS app.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Join a call session: Calls CometChatCalls.joinSession using a session ID and SessionSettingsBuilder configuration.
  • Support UIKit and SwiftUI: Works directly with a UIView container in UIKit and with a UIViewRepresentable wrapper in SwiftUI.
  • Handle call lifecycle: Registers SessionStatusListener and ButtonClickListener to respond to join/leave/timeout/connection events.
  • Use case: A SwiftUI app that receives a session ID from your backend or from Chat SDK and immediately renders the call UI (voice or video) within a custom screen layout.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to generate Swift code that initializes Calls SDK, creates SessionSettings for voice or video, wraps a UIView in UIViewRepresentable, and calls CometChatCalls.joinSession with sessionID and listeners to end the call cleanly.

FAQPage Schema
How do I join a CometChat call session in a SwiftUI app?▼

CometChat call sessions can be joined by calling CometChatCalls.joinSession with a session ID, configuring SessionSettingsBuilder for voice or video, and rendering the resulting call UI inside a provided UIView container wrapped with UIViewRepresentable for SwiftUI.

How do I handle call lifecycle events when joining a WebRTC session on iOS?▼

Handle call lifecycle events by registering SessionStatusListener and ButtonClickListener when calling joinSession, then dispatching UI updates to the main thread from listener callbacks to respond to join, leave, timeout, and connection events.

Can I use CometChatCalls.joinSession for both voice and video calls in UIKit?▼

CometChatCalls.joinSession supports both voice and video session setups in UIKit by rendering the calling UI directly inside a provided UIView container configured through SessionSettingsBuilder.

What is the best way to render CometChat call UI inside a custom iOS screen layout?▼

The best way to render CometChat call UI is to call CometChatCalls.joinSession with a configured SessionSettingsBuilder and render the output inside a custom UIView container, using UIViewRepresentable for SwiftUI integration.

Do I need a session ID from my backend to start a CometChat call flow?▼

You need a valid session ID retrieved from your backend or the Chat SDK to configure CometChatCalls.joinSession and immediately render the voice or video call UI within your iOS application.
