The Cisco Webex iOS SDK makes it easy to integrate secure and convenient Cisco Webex messaging and calling features in your iOS apps.
This SDK is written in Swift 5 and requires iOS 11 or later.
Assuming you already have an Xcode project, e.g. MyWebexApp, for your iOS app, here are the steps to integrate the Webex iOS SDK into your Xcode project using CocoaPods:
-
Install CocoaPods:
gem install cocoapods
-
Setup CocoaPods:
pod setup
-
Create a new file,
Podfile, with following content in your MyWebexApp project directory:source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' use_frameworks! target 'MyWebexApp' do platform :ios, '11.0' pod 'WebexSDK' end target 'MyWebexAppBroadcastExtension' do platform :ios, '11.2' pod 'WebexBroadcastExtensionKit' end
-
Install the Webex iOS SDK from your MyWebexApp project directory:
pod install
To use the SDK, you will need Cisco Webex integration credentials. If you do not already have a Cisco Webex account, visit Webex for Developers to create your account and register your integration. Your app will need to authenticate users via an OAuth grant flow for existing Cisco Webex users or a JSON Web Token for guest users without a Cisco Webex account.
See the iOS SDK area of the Webex for Developers site for more information about this SDK.
Here are some examples of how to use the iOS SDK in your app.
-
Create the Webex instance using Webex ID authentication (OAuth-based):
let clientId = "$YOUR_CLIENT_ID" let clientSecret = "$YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET" let scope = "spark:all" let redirectUri = "Webexdemoapp://response" let authenticator = OAuthAuthenticator(clientId: clientId, clientSecret: clientSecret, scope: scope, redirectUri: redirectUri) let webex = Webex(authenticator: authenticator) if !authenticator.authorized { authenticator.authorize(parentViewController: self) { success in if !success { print("User not authorized") } } }
-
Create the Webex instance with Guest ID authentication (JWT-based):
let authenticator = JWTAuthenticator() let webex = Webex(authenticator: authenticator) if !authenticator.authorized { authenticator.authorizedWith(jwt: myJwt) }
-
Register the device to send and receive calls:
webex.phone.register() { error in if let error = error { // Device not registered, and calls will not be sent or received } else { // Device registered } }
-
Use Webex service:
webex.spaces.create(title: "Hello World") { response in switch response.result { case .success(let space): // ... case .failure(let error): // ... } } // ... webex.memberships.create(spaceId: spaceId, personEmail: email) { response in switch response.result { case .success(let membership): // ... case .failure(let error): // ... } }
-
Make an outgoing call:
webex.phone.dial("[email protected]", option: MediaOption.audioVideo(local: ..., remote: ...)) { ret in switch ret { case .success(let call): call.onConnected = { // ... } call.onDisconnected = { reason in // ... } case .failure(let error): // failure } }
-
Receive a call:
webex.phone.onIncoming = { call in call.answer(option: MediaOption.audioVideo(local: ..., remote: ...)) { error in if let error = error { // success } else { // failure } }
-
Make an space call:
webex.phone.dial(spaceId, option: MediaOption.audioVideo(local: ..., remote: ...)) { ret in switch ret { case .success(let call): call.onConnected = { // ... } call.onDisconnected = { reason in // ... } call.onCallMembershipChanged = { changed in switch changed { case .joined(let membership): // case .left(let membership): // default: // } } case .failure(let error): // failure } }
-
Screen share (view only):
webex.phone.dial("[email protected]", option: MediaOption.audioVideoScreenShare(video: (local: ..., remote: ...))) { ret in switch ret { case .success(let call): call.onConnected = { // ... } call.onDisconnected = { reason in // ... } call.onMediaChanged = { changed in switch changed { ... case .remoteSendingScreenShare(let sending): call.screenShareRenderView = sending ? view : nil } } case .failure(let error): // failure } }
-
Post a message:
let plain = "foo" let markdown = "**foo**" let html = "<strong>foo</strong>"
let text = Message.Text.html(html: html) webex.messages.post(text, toPersonEmail: emailAddress, completionHandler: { response in switch response.result { case .success(let message): // ... case .failure(let error): // ... } }
let text = Message.Text.markdown(markdown: markdown, html: html, plain: text) webex.messages.post(text, toPersonEmail: emailAddress, completionHandler: { response in switch response.result { case .success(let message): // ... case .failure(let error): // ... } }
-
Receive a message event:
webex.messages.onEvent = { messageEvent in switch messageEvent{ case .messageReceived(let message): // ... break case .messageDeleted(let messageId): // ... break } }
-
send read receipt of a message
webex.messages.markAsRead(spaceId: spaceId, messageId: messageId, completionHandler: { response in switch response.result { case .success(_): // ... case .failure(let error): // ... } })
-
Screen share (sending):
12.1 In your containing app:
webex.phone.dial("[email protected]", option: MediaOption.audioVideoScreenShare(video: ..., screenShare: ..., applicationGroupIdentifier: "group.your.application.group.identifier"))) { ret in switch ret { case .success(let call): call.oniOSBroadcastingChanged = { event in if #available(iOS 11.2, *) { switch event { case .extensionConnected : call.startSharing() { error in // ... } break case .extensionDisconnected: call.stopSharing() { error in // ... } break } } } } case .failure(let error): // failure } }
12.2 In your broadcast upload extension sample handler:
override func broadcastStarted(withSetupInfo setupInfo: [String : NSObject]?) { // User has requested to start the broadcast. Setup info from the UI extension can be supplied but optional. WebexBroadcastExtension.sharedInstance.start(applicationGroupIdentifier: "group.your.application.group.identifier") { error in if let webexError = error { // ... } else { WebexBroadcastExtension.sharedInstance.onError = { error in // ... } WebexBroadcastExtension.sharedInstance.onStateChange = { state in // state change } } } } override func broadcastFinished() { // User has requested to finish the broadcast. WebexBroadcastExtension.sharedInstance.finish() } override func processSampleBuffer(_ sampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer, with sampleBufferType: RPSampleBufferType) { switch sampleBufferType { case RPSampleBufferType.video: // Handle video sample buffer WebexBroadcastExtension.sharedInstance.handleVideoSampleBuffer(sampleBuffer: sampleBuffer) break case RPSampleBufferType.audioApp: // Handle audio sample buffer for app audio break case RPSampleBufferType.audioMic: // Handle audio sample buffer for mic audio break } }

The purpose of this guide is to help you to migrate from Cisco SparkSDK to Cisco WebexSDK.
Assuming you already have an project integrated with SparkSDK.
-
In your pod file:
remove previous SparkSDK:
pod 'SparkSDK'add WebexSDK: pod 'WebexSDK'
-
Go to project directory, and run:
pod install
-
Replace sdk import info for your code:
Replace in project scope:
"import SparkSDK" => "import WebexSDK"
-
If you using story board for UI:
Change meida render view's module in "Indentity inspector":
"SparkSDK" => "WebexSDK"
API changes list from SparkSDK to WebexSDK.
| Description | SparkSDK Use | WebexSDK Use |
|---|---|---|
| Create a new instance | let spark = Spark(authenticator: authenticator) | let webex = Webex(authenticator: authenticator) |
| "Room" Client renamed to "Space" Client | spark.rooms.list(roomId:{rooomId}) | webex.spaces.list(spaceId:{roomId}) |
| "SparkError" renamed to "WebexError" | let error = SparkError.Auth | let error = WebexError.Auth |
Recomand to replace variables containing "spark" with "webex" in project code.
