React Native VoIP Push Notification - Currently iOS >= 8.0 only
- 1.1.0+ ( RN 40+ )
- 2.0.0+ (RN 60+)
Now Apple forced us to invoke CallKit ASAP when we receive voip push on iOS 13 and later, so you should check react-native-callkeep as well.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/pushkit/pkpushregistrydelegate/2875784-pushregistry
When linking against the iOS 13 SDK or later, your implementation of this method must report notifications of type voIP to the CallKit framework by calling the reportNewIncomingCall(with:update:completion:) method
On iOS 13.0 and later, if you fail to report a call to CallKit, the system will terminate your app.
Repeatedly failing to report calls may cause the system to stop delivering any more VoIP push notifications to your app.
If you want to initiate a VoIP call without using CallKit, register for push notifications using the UserNotifications framework instead of PushKit. For more information, see UserNotifications.
When received VoipPush, we should present CallKit ASAP even before RN instance initialization.
This breaks especially if you handled almost call behavior at js side, for example:
Do-Not-Disturb / check if Ghost-Call / using some sip libs to register or waiting invite...etc.
Staff from Apple gives some advisions for these issues in the below discussion: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/117939
Especially apns-push-type value should be 'voip' for iOS 13
And be aware of apns-expirationvalue, adjust according to your call logics
VoIP pushes were intended to specifically support incoming call notifications and nothing else.
If you were using voip push to do things other than nootify incoming call, such as: cancel call / background updates...etc, You should change to use Notification Service Extension, it contains different kind of pushs.
To useBackground Push to Pushing Background Updates to Your App,
You should:
- Make sure you enabled
Xcode->Signing & Capabilities->Background Modes->Remote Notificationsenabled - When sending background push from your APN back-end, the push header / payload should set:
- content-available = 1
- apns-push-type = 'background'
- apns-priority = 5
npm install --save react-native-voip-push-notification
# --- if using pod
cd ios/ && pod installThe iOS version should be >= 8.0 since we are using PushKit.
Please refer to VoIP Best Practices.
Make sure you enabled the folowing in Xcode -> Signing & Capabilities:
Background Modes->Voice over IPenabled+Capability->Push Notifications

On RN60+, auto linking with pod file should work.
Linking Manually
- In your Xcode project, select
Build Phases-->Link Binary With Libraries - Add
PushKit.framework
Option 1: Use rnpm
rnpm link react-native-voip-push-notificationNote: If you're using rnpm link make sure the Header Search Paths is recursive. (In step 3 of manually linking)
- Drag
node_modules/react-native-voip-push-notification/ios/RNVoipPushNotification.xcodeprojunder<your_xcode_project>/Libraries - Select
<your_xcode_project>-->Build Phases-->Link Binary With Libraries- DragLibraries/RNVoipPushNotification.xcodeproj/Products/libRNVoipPushNotification.atoLink Binary With Libraries - Select

Voip Push is time sensitive, these native API mainly used in AppDelegate.m, especially before JS bridge is up. This usually
(void)voipRegistration--- register delegate for PushKit if you like to register in AppDelegate.m ASAP instead JS side ( too late for some use cases )(void)didUpdatePushCredentials:(PKPushCredentials *)credentials forType:(NSString *)type--- call this api to fire 'register' event to JS(void)didReceiveIncomingPushWithPayload:(PKPushPayload *)payload forType:(NSString *)type--- call this api to fire 'notification' event to JS(void)addCompletionHandler:(NSString *)uuid completionHandler:(RNVoipPushNotificationCompletion)completionHandler--- add completionHandler to RNVoipPush module(void)removeCompletionHandler:(NSString *)uuid--- remove completionHandler to RNVoipPush module
registerVoipToken()--- JS method to register PushKit delegateonVoipNotificationCompleted(notification.uuid)--- JS mehtod to tell PushKit we have handled received voip push
'register'--- fired when PushKit give us the latest token'notification'--- fired when received voip push notification'didLoadWithEvents'--- fired when there are not-fired events been cached before js bridge is up
