[Under Development] React Native

Our SDK is currently under review. Check back later for updates.
AcquireIO Support SDK
There are 2 variants for this SDK
1) AcquireIO support (Core) for real-time chat and audio/video calls. 
2) AcquireIO support (Lite) for real-time chat.
Note: Lite version supports only chat feature. To use audio/video calls, Core version is available.
This guide describes the process of implementing AcquireIOSupport SDK into your React-Native app.
You can refer react-native-doc to use Native components.
We recommend using CocoaPods as the most advanced way of managing iOS project dependencies.
Installation
AcquireIOSupport SDK is the same as any other third-party native library.
To connect AcquireIOSupport SDK to your app just add it into your Podfile:
Step 1. Create a Podfile in your project's root directory, if it doesn't exist yet.
Step 2. Add below lines at top of your podfile
require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
Step 3.
AcquireIOSupport-Core : Podname to add Core SDK to your project
AcquireIOSupport-Lite : Podname to add Lite SDK to your project
Add podname to Podfile as per requirement under your desired target. It must look like below:
  target 'YourTargetName' do
  config = use_native_modules!
​
  # NOTE: For AcquireIOSupport-Core require dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'AcquireIOSupport-Core'
​
  use_react_native!(
     :path => config[:reactNativePath],
     # to enable hermes on iOS, change `false` to `true` and then install pods
     :hermes_enabled => false
   )
​
  end
Note: use_frameworks! is required to import any dynamic framework.
Step 4. The AcquireIOSupport SDK supports module stability and therefore all its dependencies must be built-in with the "Build Libraries for Distribution" setting enabled, however this is not currently supported in Cocoapods. Running the below command will ensure Xcode builds the dependencies with the correct settings. Once Cocoapods supports module stability, this workaround can be removed.
Add the following at the end of your Podfile:
 post_install do |installer|
    react_native_post_install(installer)
​
     installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
       target.build_configurations.each do |config|
         config.build_settings['BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION'] = 'YES'
         config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
       end
​
     if (target.name&.eql?('FBReactNativeSpec'))
       target.build_phases.each do |build_phase|
         if (build_phase.respond_to?(:name) && build_phase.name.eql?('[CP-User] Generate Specs'))
           target.build_phases.move(build_phase, 0)
         end
       end
     end
   end
 end
4) Run the below command to install the SDK to your project
      $ pod install --repo-update
5) Open your project using the generated *.xcworkspace file.
Note: If you are new to CocoaPods, go to CocoaPods to learn how to install it.
Make sure to always open the Xcode workspace instead of the project file when building your project:
open YourTargetName.xcworkspace
Setup Info.plist
Since iOS 10, it's mandatory to add before you access privacy-sensitive data like Camera, Microphone, and so on, you must ask for the authorization, or your app will crash when you access them.
Open the file in your project named info.plist, right-click it, opening as Source Code, paste the below code to it. Or you can open info.plist as Property List by default, click the add button, Xcode will give you the suggested completions while typing Privacy - with the help of keyboard and
Remember to write your description of why you ask for this authorization, between <string> and </string>, or your app will be rejected by Apple:
<!-- Camera -->
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) uses camera for video chat</string>
​
<!-- Microphone -->
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) uses microphone for voice chat</string>
​
<!-- Photo Library -->
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) send photo/video to agent</string>
Also, The AcquireIOSupport SDK uses a background mode Audio when you are video/voice call to agent/visitor. If you have not enabled it, the background voice will not work. When the UIBackgroundModes key contains the audio value, the system’s media frameworks automatically prevent the corresponding app from being suspended when it moves to the background
To allow your AcquireIOSupport SDK to play audio in the background, Enable it using the below steps 1) Select your project file in the Navigator of Xcode. 2) From the Capabilities section, switch on the Background Modes subsection 3) Switch ON the Background Modes subsection. After background modes are listed, tick on the Audio, Airplay & picture in the picture
Background Mode
Setup and installation
To import SDK to your project, add the below lines to your App.js
//Native modules
import {NativeModules} from 'react-native';
//Destructuring AcquireIO Setup from NativeModules
const {AcquireIOSetup} = NativeModules;
And to use in your FILENAME.m file, add
#import <AcquireIOSupport/AcquireIOSupport.h>
To initialize SDK, call
    AcquireIOSetup.initAcquireIO()
Your FILENAME.m should look like:
#import "AcquireIOSetup.h"
#import <React/RCTLog.h>
​
@implementation AcquireIOSetup
​
RCT_EXPORT_MODULE(); // Use "AcquireIOSetup" as module's name
​
​
RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(initAcquireIO) {
​
  RCTLogInfo(@"Init AcquireIO");
​
  dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
​
    //Config option
    NSDictionary *option = @{
                             @"ShowChatButton": @YES,
                             @"SessionConnectAndStartAuto":@YES  //@NO for manually start socket connection
                           };
​
    AcquireIOConfig *config = [AcquireIOConfig config];
    [config setDict:option];
​
    #warning(@"TODO: Add your ACCOUNT_ID (for example, xo3t0x)")
    [[AcquireIO support] setAccount:@"ACCOUNT_ID" withOptions:config];
​
    //[[AcquireIO support] startSession]; for manually start socket connection
​
  });
​
}
