WebRTC

This repository contains the WebRTC source code used to build the libraries used by react-native-webrtc.

For a given stable Chrome release (92 as an example) there will be 2 branches in this repository: M92-upstream and M92.

The former is an untouched branch off upstream, with the latter containing custom patches. All the patches we apply are submitted upstream once testes, or abandoned.

Builds

Builds are currently done by @saghul manually (since they require testing and potentially updating react-native-webrtc). Custom builds can be made with this build script.

Building for iOS

After having built the WebRTC.xcframework.zip artifact with the Python script some manual steps are necessary:

• Update the version number and path in ios/JitsiWebRTC.podspec
• Compute the SHA-256 of the built artifact (yes, the zip file) and update Package.swift
• Copy the Package.swift file to the MXXX release branch and add it to git
• Commit all changes
• Create a GH release with the following versioning: X.0.Y where X is the Chrome milestone number and Y is our build number starting at 0
  • The release should tag the milestone branch
• Upload the build artifact to the release
• Push the spec to CocoaPods: pod trunk push ios/JitsiWebRTC.podspec

Building for Android

After having built the webrtc-android.zip artifact with the Python script some manual steps are necessary:

• Unzip the file and put it onto android/libs overwriting any existing file
• Adjust the version numbers in android/build.gradle
• Commit the result (via a PR)
• Run the Release Android workflow. It publishes org.jitsi:webrtc:<version> to Maven Central through the Central Portal and releases the deployment automatically; nothing to click.

The workflow needs these repository secrets:

• SONATYPE_USER_2 / SONATYPE_PW_2: the organization-wide Central Portal user token (shared with jicoco and the other Jitsi Maven publishers; the repo must be granted access to these org secrets)
• GPG_KEY / GPG_PW: the ASCII-armored PGP private key used to sign the artifacts, and its passphrase

To try the packaging locally: cd android && ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal (unsigned unless signingInMemoryKey and signingInMemoryKeyPassword are passed as Gradle properties).

Versioning

Releases will follow the following versioning scheme: Chrome Major Version.0.Release Number

CocoaPods

These builds are also published on CocoaPods with the name "JitsiWebRTC".

Starting with version 106 the builds don't contain bitcode (they do contain embedded dSYM slices).

Swift Package Manager

As of release 106.0.0 a Package.swift file is provided for Swift Package Manager support.
