**A extended version from cordova-plugin-iosrtc
#### Version 5.0.0
Using lastest lib Webrtc and customize for best framerate
Yet another WebRTC SDK for iOS?
Absolutely not. This plugin exposes the WebRTC W3C API for Cordova iOS apps (you know there is no WebRTC in iOS, right?), which means no need to learn "yet another WebRTC API" and no need to use a specific service/product/provider.
Why?
Check the release announcement at the eFace2Face site.
Who?
This plugin was initially developed at eFace2Face, and later maintained by the community, specially by Saúl Ibarra Corretgé (_The OpenSource Warrior Who Does Not Burn_).
In order to make this Cordova plugin run into a iOS application some requirements must be satisfied in both development computer and target devices:
* Xcode >= 7.2.1
* iOS >= 9 (run on lower versions at your own risk, but don't report issues)
* cordova-ios 4.X
Within your Cordova project:
``bash`
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-iosrtc-extended
(or add it into a entry in the config.xml of your app).
Building: Guidelines for building a Cordova iOS application including the cordova-plugin-iosrtc* plugin.
Building libwebrtc: Guidelines for building Google's libwebrtc with modifications needed by the cordova-plugin-iosrtc plugin (just in case you want to use a different version of libwebrtc* or apply your own changes to it).
The plugin exposes the cordova.plugins.iosrtc JavaScript namespace which contains all the WebRTC classes and functions.
`javascript
var pc = new cordova.plugins.iosrtc.RTCPeerConnection({
iceServers: []
});
cordova.plugins.iosrtc.getUserMedia(
// constraints
{ audio: true, video: true },
// success callback
function (stream) {
console.log('got local MediaStream: ', stream);
pc.addStream(stream);
},
// failure callback
function (error) {
console.error('getUserMedia failed: ', error);
}
);
`
In case you'd like to expose the API in the global namespace like regular browsers you can do the following:
`javascript
// Just for Cordova apps.
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
// Just for iOS devices.
if (window.device.platform === 'iOS') {
cordova.plugins.iosrtc.registerGlobals();
// load adapter.js
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = "js/adapter-latest.js";
script.async = false;
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
}
});
`
And that's all. Now you have window.RTCPeerConnection, navigator.getUserMedia, etc.

If you are using the plugin we would love to hear back from you!
#### iOS Safari and crash on WebSocket events
Don't call plugin methods within WebSocket events (onopen, onmessage, etc). There is an issue in iOS Safari (see issue #12). Instead run a setTimeout() within the WebSocket event if you need to call plugin methods on it.
Or better yet, include the provided ios-websocket-hack.js in your app and load into your index.html as follows:
`
#### HTML5 video API
There is no real media source attached to the
Methods such as play(), pause() are not implemented. In order to pause a video just set enabled = false on the associated MediaStreamTrack`.
