TwilioVoice Class Reference

Inherits from NSObject
Declared in TwilioVoice.h

Overview

TwilioVoice is the entry point to the Twilio Voice SDK. You can register for VoIP push notifications, make outgoing Calls, receive Call invites and set audio device to use in a Call using this class.

CallKit Audio Session Handling

Other Methods

  logLevel

The current logging level used by the SDK.

@property (nonatomic, assign, class) TVOLogLevel logLevel

Discussion

The default logging level is TVOLogLevelError. TwilioVoice and its components use NSLog internally.

Declared In

TwilioVoice.h

  audioDevice

The TVOAudioDevice used to record and playback audio in a Call.

@property (class, nonatomic, strong, nonnull) id<TVOAudioDevice> audioDevice

Discussion

If you wish to provide your own TVOAudioDevice then you must set it before performing any other actions with the SDK like connecting to a Call. It is also possible to change the device when you are no longer connected to any Calls and have destroyed all other SDK objects.

Managing VoIP Push Notifications

+ registerWithAccessToken:deviceToken:completion:

Registers for Twilio VoIP push notifications.

+ (void)registerWithAccessToken:(nonnull NSString *)accessToken deviceToken:(nonnull NSString *)deviceToken completion:(nullable void ( ^ ) ( NSError *__nullable error ))completion

Parameters

accessToken

Twilio Access Token.

deviceToken

The push registry token for Apple VoIP Service.

completion

Callback block to receive the result of the registration.

Discussion

Registering for push notifications is required to receive incoming call notification messages through Twilio’s infrastructure. Once successfully registered, the registered binding has a time-to-live(TTL) of 1 year. If the registered binding is inactive for 1 year it is deleted and push notifications to the registered identity will not succeed. However, whenever the registered binding is used to reach the registered identity the TTL is reset to 1 year. A successful registration will ensure that push notifications will arrive via the APNs for the lifetime of the registration device token provided by the APNs instance.

The identity provided in the Access Token may only contain alpha-numeric and underscore characters. Other characters, including spaces, will result in undefined behavior.

If the registration is successful the completion handler will contain a Null NSError. If the registration fails, the completion handler will have a nonnull NSError with UserInfo string describing the reason for failure.

Parameters

accessToken

Twilio Access Token.

deviceToken

The push registry token for Apple VoIP Service.

Discussion

Call this method when you no longer want to receive push notifications for incoming Calls.

TwilioVoice.h

+ handleNotification:delegate:

Processes an incoming VoIP push notification payload.

+ (BOOL)handleNotification:(nonnull NSDictionary *)payload delegate:(nonnull id<TVONotificationDelegate>)delegate

Parameters

payload

Push notification payload.

delegate

A TVONotificationDelegate to receive incoming push notification callbacks.

Return Value

A BOOL value that indicates whether the payload is a valid notification sent by Twilio.

Discussion

This method will synchronously process call notification payload and call the provided delegate on the same dispatch queue.

Twilio sends two types of notifications via Apple VoIP Service, call and cancel. The notification type is encoded in the dictionary with the key twi_message_type and the values twilio.voice.call and twilio.voice.cancel.

A call notification is sent when someone wants to reach the registered identity. Passing a call notification into this method will result in a callInviteReceived: callback with a TVOCallInvite object and return YES.

A cancel notification is sent to an identity for the following reasons:

  • call made to this identity is prematurely disconnected by the caller
  • call is rejected
  • call is ignored
  • after a call is accepted. When a call is accepted, a cancel notification is sent to all the devices that have been registered with the identity accepting the call, even to the device that accepted the call. It is recommended that in this case the developer checks whether the call sid of TVOCancelledCallInvite matches the accepted call, and if so disregard it.

Passing a cancel notification into this method will result in a cancelledCallInviteReceived: callback with a TVOCancelledCallInvite object and return YES.

+ connectWithAccessToken:delegate:

Make an outgoing Call.

+ (nonnull TVOCall *)connectWithAccessToken:(nonnull NSString *)accessToken delegate:(nonnull id<TVOCallDelegate>)delegate

Parameters

accessToken

The access token.

delegate

A TVOCallDelegate to receive Call state updates.

Return Value

A TVOCall object.

Discussion

This method is guaranteed to return a TVOCall object. It’s possible for the returned Call to either succeed or fail to connect.

The identity provided in the Access Token may only contain alpha-numeric and underscore characters. Other characters, including spaces, will result in undefined behavior.

The TVOCallDelegate will receive the Call state update callbacks. The callbacks are listed here.

Callback NameDescriptionSince version
call:didFailToConnectWithError The call failed to connect. An NSError object provides details of the root cause.3.0.0-preview1
callDidStartRinging Emitted once before the callDidConnect callback when the callee is being alerted of a Call.3.0.0-preview2
callDidConnect The Call has connected.3.0.0-preview1
call:didDisconnectWithError The Call was disconnected. If the Call ends due to an error the NSError is non-null. If the call ends normally NSError is nil.3.0.0-preview1

If connect fails, call:didFailToConnectWithError or call:didDisconnectWithError callback is raised with an NSError object. [error localizedDescription], [error localizedFailureReason] and [error code] provide details of the failure.

If any authentication error occurs then the SDK will receive one of the following errors.

Parameters

options

The connect options.

delegate

A TVOCallDelegate to receive Call state updates.

Return Value

A TVOCall object.

Discussion

This method is guaranteed to return a TVOCall object. It’s possible for the returned Call to either succeed or fail to connect. Use the TVOConnectOptions builder to specify Call parameters and UUID.

The TVOCallDelegate will receive the Call state update callbacks. The callbacks are same as connectWithAccessToken:delegate: API.

If connect fails, call:didFailToConnectWithError or call:didDisconnectWithError callback is raised with an NSError object. [error localizedDescription], [error localizedFailureReason] and [error code] provide details of the failure. The error codes are same as connectWithAccessToken:delegate: API.
