Android
Open the AndroidManifest.xml file and add the required device permissions to the file.
<manifest>
...
<uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /><!-- The Agora SDK requires Bluetooth permissions in case users are using Bluetooth devices.--><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
...
</manifest>
iOS
Open info.plist and add:
Privacy - Microphone Usage Description, and add a note in the Value column.
Privacy - Camera Usage Description, and add a note in the Value column.
Your application can still run the voice call when it is switched to the background if the background mode is enabled. Select the app target in Xcode, click the Capabilities tab, enable Background Modes, and check Audio, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture.
The plan is to grow this library and have similar offerings across all supported platforms. There are already similar libraries for Android, iOS, React Native, and Web React, so be sure to check them out.
