How to grab sessionId to use with swift app about opentok-meet HOT 4 CLOSED

You might also want to use the custom URL handler in your iOS app so that if you go to example.com/123 on your iOS device it will open up your app automatically. Right now the format is meet://home/{room} https://github.com/aullman/opentok-meet/blob/master/views/roomiOS.ejs#L21

Also, keep in mind that Safari on iOS 11 supports WebRTC so this app works without need to build a custom iOS app.

Since this is an express app, you can send HTTP requests from the iOS app in the same way the web app does to retrieve the session ID for a particular room name and the corresponding token in JSON format. You can then use this session ID and token to configure the iOS SDK and join the same session as the web user.

@aiham this worked, thanks!!

@aullman i just noticed you guys updated it to work with ios11, and it works great with safari on mobile! Although i did notice that it doesn't work properly when a user puts meet.tokbox.com/something inside another app such as Facebook.

Try going messaging yourself meet.tokbox.com/something on Facebook messenger app, and than clicking on the link and you'll see what i'm referring to. Not sure if this is a restriction done by apps or the code itself.

@masudhossain This is probably because WebRTC will not work in an iOS app's WebView, it is only available in the official Safari app at the moment. This is a restriction by Apple. I'm not sure if or when this will change.
