Programmable Voice SDK

[fabriziomoscon]

Twilio has released a new Beta SDK for VOIP
https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/client/android
and published a message on the Client SDK pages:

Please note that the Twilio Client Android SDK is superseded by the newer Twilio Programmable Voice Android SDK, which uses GCM push notifications for signaling incoming calls.

I started making some experiment using their quickstart app: https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/voice-sdk/android/getting-started

With the new implementation I am able to receive calls even when the app is not in memory or killed. It used GCM and also it worked for me using FCM.

If somebody knows about a repo that already wrapped this feature in React-Native please share.

That's awesome. I was sending my own Apple Push Notifications from my Server to do the same kind of thing. I wonder if they'll update the iOS version?

I am experimenting with this module: https://github.com/hoxfon/react-native-twilio-programmable-voice
Please feel free to have a look and contribute. Some help for the iOS part is certainly very welcome.

@rogchap
I pushed the very first Android library version on npm (react-native-twilio-programmable-voice). So far it implements the basic functionalities and I haven't got any crash. I can make and receive calls, when the app is opened, in the background and completely closed.
I was wondering if you or somebody else would like to give a hand with the iOS implementation.

It looks like there is an iOS version https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/voice-sdk/ios

@sprice the job is to wrap the Twilio code in a react native module, with all the JavaScript bindings.
The Twilio lib is a good starting point for inspiration.
I am still looking for help if someone wants to contribute.

@fabriziomoscon sorry for not being clear. I was simply responding to @rogchap who asked "I wonder if they'll update the iOS version?" 😄
