RTC Communicator

A simple communicator project for messaging, voice calls, and video calls. The application works on mobile devices with iOS or Android. Created in React Native, it uses AgoraSDK technology for calls, while user data and text messages are transmitted via the Firebase platform. Google OAuth2 authentication is used for registration/login.

The application was created as part of the project for the "Advanced Design Patterns" course offered at Jagiellonian University (UJ).

Installation

You need to have a Node.js environment installed (e.g., v20.15.1). To run the application on an iOS simulator/device, Xcode is required, while Android Studio is needed for Android. It is best to follow the React Native environment setup documentation.

For Google OAuth2 authentication, you need to provide iosClientId and androidClientId to the AuthRequestConfig configuration, which are loaded from a .env file that should be created and placed in the app` folder:

REACT_APP_IOS_CLIENT_ID=
REACT_APP_ANDROID_CLIENT_ID=

Native Installation and Running the Application:

  cd app
  npm install
  npm run start

For running the application on an iOS simulator, additionally execute:

  cd ios
  pod install

Additionally, to run the application on an iOS device:

  open app.xcworkspace

Next, in Xcode, build and install the application on the selected device. Useful documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/building-and-running-an-app https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/running-your-app-in-simulator-or-on-a-device

After installing the application on a device, scan the QR code generated by the Expo server.
