How to implement CallKit in real app? - swift

I am trying to implement Apple CallKit in my VoIP application. I am using Xcode 9.2, Swift 4.0.3, iOS 10.3. Problem is I do not know how exactly to do this. I have tried to search for tutorial in Web, but I failed to find tutorial based on real system. They all using fake systems, only simulate calls! I have a class which rules with someone third person library which is responsible for the calls. So, if I have incoming call happens, some event goes through observer. Like this:
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: Notification.Name(rawValue: Notifications.Name.transMessage.rawValue), object: nil, queue: nil) { notification in
self.handleLibtransEvents()
}
where self.handleLibtransEvents is private function calling calls.
Plus, I have installed working PUSH Notification system in AppDelegate.swift. Like this:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: Error) {
print("NOTIFICATION ERROR: \(error)")
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
let pushToken = deviceToken.reduce("", {$0 + String(format: "%02X", $1)}).lowercased()
print("pushToken: \(pushToken)")
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
if UIApplication.shared.applicationState != UIApplicationState.active {
// PUSH: Incoming call event!
}
}
So there are two places, I can catch incoming call but I have not any idea how to catch real call through Apple CallKit. I will be thankful for any help, advice, call example. Thanks!
P. S. I have installed all settings correctly.

CallKit is basically a framework to show up a Call UI when ever you receive a voip call or make a new call, So it will do nothing if you pass it a number n assume it will make call, Keep it in mind its only to show a UI for receive call & make call.
To make calls n receive calls you will need 3rd party services like Sinch and many other.

For application(_:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:) how to implement custom completionHandler?

Hi I'm new to Swift programming. So I have the following function:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
...some tasks...
// want to call completionHandler here!
}
This function runs when the phone receives a silent push notification. I was wondering if it was possible to run a custom completion handler upon didReceiveRemoteNotification method finishing?
If this is not possible, and completionHandler is some Swift specific function that is not up for change, what is its purpose? I've done some research and all I see is people simply calling completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNewData) towards the end of didReceiveRemoteNotification.
Thanks

Push notification with Engage Digital (formerly Dimelo) didReceiveRemoteNotification never called

I send notification I receive it on the phone no problem;
Now I want to customise image titre ...
the problem is this function on delegate was never called didReceiveRemoteNotification
On appDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
// Dimelo: Push Notif and Badge
dimelo?.updateAppBadgeNumber = true
dimelo?.developmentAPNS = true
dimelo?.initialize(withApiSecret: BuildConfig.GetInstance().getDimeloApiSecret(), domainName: BuildConfig.GetInstance().getDimeloDomainName(), delegate: self)
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
// Register the device token.
Dimelo.sharedInstance().deviceToken = deviceToken
}
func dimeloDidBeginNetworkActivity(_ dimelo: Dimelo?) {
UIApplication.shared.isNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible = true
}
func dimeloDidEndNetworkActivity(_ dimelo: Dimelo?) {
UIApplication.shared.isNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible = false
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
dimelo?.consumeReceivedRemoteNotification(userInfo)
}
I already activate remote notification on baclground mode
but the function didReceiveRemoteNotification was never called :(
I'm integrating this RingCentral Engage Digital / Dimelo library:
https://github.com/ringcentral/engage-digital-messaging-ios/issues
I have implemented this demo app using the Dimelo iOS SDK: https://github.com/tylerlong/GrandTravel-iOS/blob/master/GrandTravel/AppDelegate.swift
Could you please check my code and figure out the differences?
I suggest you to print logs for both handleActionWithIdentifier and didReceiveRemoteNotification.
If it still doesn't work, please send email to devsupport#ringcentral.com and we will investigate.

Background Fetch working every Second in Swift 4.2

Behold. I am trying to create an IOS app with swift 4.2, which, according to my client, has to sound an alarm, but it can only be stopped with a QR code. Therefore, what I will need will be a timer that works in the background, checking the time every second, because something else, the user could stop it, without the QR code. The only thing I've found for that is the Background Fetch, but can it work with 1 second checks every time?
Does anyone have a better idea?
Cheers
This is my source code for now
App delegate:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
UIApplication.shared.setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval(2.0)
}
//ini----------------------------background task
func application(_ application: UIApplication, performFetchWithCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
// fetch data from internet now
let time:TimerNow = TimerNow();
let hours = preferences.string(forKey: "hours");
let minutes = preferences.string(forKey: "minutes");
if((hours == time.getHours())&&(minutes == time.getMinutes())){
lem.onPlayCommand();
}
completionHandler(.newData)
}
//fin ---------------------------background task
I think you should use local notifications instead. It will be fired when you want to notify about the elapsed time. You could cancel it whenever and with any condition you want.
IMO timer and background fetching is not suitable for that situation.

Sirikit and parent app communication in ios 10 : Handoff

I am using Sirikit to integrate with my payment domain app where I need to interact with the app. I read Apple documentation, they asked to use common frameworks.
Is it possible to use handoff? if yes then how?
How can I call the other viewController which is in parent app from sirikit?
I will really appreciate for any help. Thanks
Every user activity object needs a type and we need to define those types in the
info.plist of the application
For Eg.
let userActivity = NSUserActivity(activityType: "uaType")
userActivity.title = "uaTitle"
userActivity.userInfo = ["uaKey": "uaValue"]
You can now access this activity object in AppDelegate as follows
func application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: #escaping ([Any]?) -> Void) -> Bool {
switch userActivity.activityType {
case "uaType":
//Write your logic to access uaKey & uaValue here
return true
default: return false
}
}
Check SiriKit Programming Guide,
To use handoff, You can create intent response object with NSUserActivity object. While creating NSUserActivity object assign userInfo property to appropriate object that you want,
let userActivity = NSUserActivity()
userActivity.userInfo = ["myKey": myAnyObject]
You will get this NSUserActivity object in parent application AppDelegate,
optional public func application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: ([AnyObject]?) -> Swift.Void) -> Bool
Here you can get userInfo object which you can compare as per your requirement and call appropriate viewController.

Updating Glance data in watchOS2.2

I'm hoping you smart people can help me as most of the data online is out of date.
I have an iPhone app that displays financial information.
I would like to present this on a watch glance screen.
I can get the app to send the dictionary of the latest information and the glance does update live if both the Glance screen and phone app are open.
I would like to know how to use the Glance screen to ask the phone app for the latest information.
The phone app will probably be closed so it would need waking up and then asked for the current information.
I'm using swift 7 and WatchOS 2.2 and IOS 9.3
A lot of information here on Stackoverflow refers to watchOS 1 so no longer works.
I look forward to your solutions.
Look into WCSession as there are different methods for sending different types of data. This implementation is sending a dictionary.
Must setup a WCSession on both watch and phone devices. AppDelegate in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: and I use the ExtensionDelegate in its init method. Be sure to import WatchConnectivity when using WCSession. Using the AppDelegate as a WCSessionDelegate below.
// AppDelegate.swift
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, WCSessionDelegate {
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
// Setup session on phone
if WCSession.isSupported() {
let session = WCSession.defaultSession()
session.delegate = self
session.activateSession()
}
return true
}
// WCSessionDelegate method receiving message from watch and using callback
func session(session: WCSession, didReceiveMessage message: [String : AnyObject], replyHandler: ([String : AnyObject]) -> Void) {
// Reply with a dictionary of information based on the "message"
replyHandler(["Key": "Value"])
}
}
Setup WCSession on the watch:
// ExtensionDelegate.swift
override init() {
let session = WCSession.defaultSession()
session.activateSession()
}
Send message, consisting of a dictionary, to the phone in order to receive information in the callback:
// GlanceController.swift
WCSession.defaultSession().sendMessage(["Please give Glance data": "Value"], replyHandler:{ (response) in
// Extract data from response dictionary
}) { (error) in
// Handle error
}
