Apple iOS target is supported by PJSIP version 1.7 and later.
Features ¶
Some of the features of the iPhone port:
- it has a native CoreAudio based audio device, which supports the following features:
- the built-in/device's echo canceller
- output volume setting
- change input route to bluetooth input
- change output route
- input latency setting
- output latency setting
- supports for the built-in iLBC codec
- Note: video (from 2.x) is not yet supported on iOS.
Requirements ¶
- iOS SDK, part of Xcode. Apple iPad is supported starting with iPhone SDK 3.2 onwards.
- Command Line Tools for Xcode: download from Apple Developer Downloads then install.
Build Preparation ¶
- Get the source code, if you haven't already.
- Set your config_site.h to the following: #define PJ_CONFIG_IPHONE 1
- #include <pj/config_site_sample.h>
This will activate iPhone specific settings in the config_site_sample.h.
Building PJSIP ¶
Just run:
$ cd /path/to/your/pjsip/dir
$ ./configure-iphone
$ make dep && make clean && make
For iPhone 5, use armv7s architecture:
$ cd /path/to/your/pjsip/dir
$ ARCH='-arch armv7s' ./configure-iphone
$ make dep && make clean && make
Open ipjsua.xcodeproj using Xcode in pjproject/pjsip-apps/src/pjsua/ios and build the project. You will see telnet instructions on the device's screen. Telnet to this address to operate the application. See PJSUA CLI Manual for commands available. (For release 2.1 and below, ipjsua is located in pjproject/pjsip-apps/src/ipjsua and does not have CLI telnet feature).
Notes:
- the ./configure-iphone is a wrapper that calls the standard ./configure script with settings suitable for iPhone target.
- the latest iPhone SDK version will be selected by default. You may change this by setting IPHONESDK environment variable to the desired SDK path. For ipjsua, select Project-Edit Project Settings-Base SDK and Targets-ipjsua-Get Info-Base SDK to change the SDK version.
- you may pass standard ./configure options to this script too.
- for more info, run ./configure-iphone --help
- other customizations are similar to what is explained in Building with GNU page.
Simulator ¶
To configure the build system for the iPhone simulator:
export DEVPATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer
ARCH="-arch i386" CFLAGS="-O2 -m32 -miphoneos-version-min=4.0" LDFLAGS="-O2 -m32 -miphoneos-version-min=4.0" ./configure-iphone
make dep && make clean && make
Note that the exact paths may vary according to your SDK version.
OpenSSL Suport ¶
Follow the instructions below to enable TLS transport by using OpenSSL:
- Build and install OpenSSL-1.0.0 for iPhone by following these instructions or OpenSSL-0.9.8o with these instructions.
- Specify OpenSSL location when running configure-iphone, for example (with Bash): export OPENSSL=${HOME}/openssl/openssl_arm
- export CFLAGS="-O2 -Wno-unused-label -I${OPENSSL}/include"
- export LDFLAGS="-L${OPENSSL}/lib"
- ./configure-iphone
And check that OpenSSL is detected by the configure script: ...- checking for OpenSSL installations..
- checking openssl/ssl.h usability... yes
- checking openssl/ssl.h presence... no
- aconfigure: WARNING: openssl/ssl.h: accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor!
- aconfigure: WARNING: openssl/ssl.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
- checking for openssl/ssl.h... yes
- checking for ERR_load_BIO_strings in -lcrypto... yes
- checking for SSL_library_init in -lssl... yes
- OpenSSL library found, SSL support enabled
- ...
- Build the libraries: make dep && make
- In XCode project setting of your application (for example, ipjsua), add libssl.a and libcrypto.a from OpenSSL ARM directory to the project's Libraries:
- In Group & Files pane, expand ipjsua, then right click Libraries, and select Add -> Existing Files....
- Find libssl.a and libcrypto.a from OpenSSL ARM directory (for example, ${HOME}/openssl/openssl_arm) and add them to the project.
- Build the app
Common problems ¶
Unable to accept incoming call in background mode (iOS4) ¶
If while in the background, ipjsua (or your application) is unable to detect if there is an incoming call and display the local notification:
- Note that background feature only works with TCP.
- Make sure that voip is included in the required background modes (UIBackgroundModes) in the application’s Info.plist file.
- Make sure that the TCP socket is successfully wrapped with CFReadStreamRef (check if there is a message: "Failed to configure TCP transport for VoIP usage").
- Check whether you can accept the incoming call by bringing the app to the foreground. If yes, make sure that the incoming call request comes from the wrapped TCP socket (check the log for the INVITE request).
Note: these steps do not troubleshoot audio problems.
Audio session management issue (iOS7) ¶
Since the deprecation of C-interface Audio Session API in iOS 7 SDK, PJSIP now uses AVAudioSession to set audio session category (to PlayAndRecord?) and activate/deactivate audio session. Application will need to do its own audio session management to handle input/output route and notifications (interruption, media server reset, etc). Please refer to Apple's official doc on Audio Session Programming Guide and our ticket #1697.
Audio issue (no audio) (iOS7) ¶
There are a few reports that the audio is not working on iOS 7 (so far it's only reported to happen in iPhone 5) after getting the following error:
iPhone mediaserverd[45] <Error>: 10:53:59.986 ERROR: [0x240b000] 740: _vp: initialize hw input: fs mismatched! REF=0.000000Hz, MIC=44100.000000Hz
iPhone mediaserverd[45] <Error>: Resampler2 bad sample rate(s) : 0.00 16000.00
One solution is to set the sound device's clock rate to 44100 Hz as to avoid resampling.
Supporting multiple architectures (armv6, armv7, armv7s, and so on) ¶
You need to compile separately for each architecture. If your iPhone SDK has llvm-gcc compiler (which is the supported compiler starting iOS SDK 5) or clang, then you need to set ARCH environment variable to the desired architecture before running configure-iphone, for example:
export ARCH = "-arch armv6"
Then you need to combine the resulting libraries using the lipo command. For example:
lipo -arch armv6 lib/armv6/libpjlib.a -arch armv7 lib/armv7/libpjlib.a -create -output lib/libpjlib.a
Unable to support Bluetooth input ¶
Since Bluetooth input support is only available for iOS 3.1 or later, you need to specifically specify that your deployment target is iOS 3.1 or above. You can do this either in user.mak:
export CFLAGS += -D__IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED=30100
or in config_site.h:
#define __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED 30100
You need to recompile PJSIP after this.
Problem with interruption (by a phone call or an alarm), headset plug/unplug, or Bluetooth input ¶
For devices running iOS 4.0 or later, you need to enable your application to respond to remote-control events. This allows PJSIP to properly receive and process the above events. You can do this by adding the following code in your application:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents];
For more details, please refer to Apple's doc on Remote Control of Multimedia.
Sound not working in the simulator ¶
Go to System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects and then uncheck and recheck "Play user interface sound effects". If it still doesn't work, you can try some other suggestions here.
