Introduction

This chapter is fully dedicated to using WebRTC technology while developing native applications for mobile platforms. Here, the term native application refers to the kind of software that is being developed using native tools and SDK of a certain mobile platform.

First of all, you will learn how to get and compile WebRTC libraries that can be used for developing native applications. There is no separate code for every certain platform. Basically, the code base is the same for all available mobile platforms.

In other recipes, we will build and run WebRTC demo applications for Android and iOS, to demonstrate the use of WebRTC on mobile devices.

The Building a customized WebRTC demo for iOS recipe covers customized demo applications. The problem is that the WebRTC code base is under active development, and original example applications might not demonstrate all available features of the technology. For example, the original iOS example didn't support video calls for a long...
