Making Your First Call

This guide walks you through implementing the "Make a Call" feature using the AtomicXCore SDK, leveraging the DeviceStore, CallStore, and the core UI component CallCoreView.


Core Features

To build multi-party audio/video calling scenarios with AtomicXCore, you’ll use the following three core modules:
Module
Description
Core call UI component. Automatically observes CallStore data and renders video streams, with support for UI customization such as layout switching, avatar and icon configuration.
CallStore
Manages the call lifecycle: make, answer, reject, and hang up calls. Provides real-time access to participant audio/video status, call duration, call history, and more.
Controls audio/video devices: microphone (toggle/on/off, volume), camera (toggle/on/off, switch, quality), screen sharing, and real-time device status monitoring.

Getting Started

Step 1: Activate the Service

Follow the Activate the service guide to obtain either a trial or paid version of the SDK.

Step 2: Integrate the SDK

1. Add Pod dependency: Add pod 'AtomicXCore' to your project's Podfile.
target 'YourProjectTarget' do  
  pod 'AtomicXCore'
end
Tips：
If your project doesn’t have a Podfile, navigate to your .xcodeproj directory in the terminal and run pod init to create one.
2. Install the component: In the terminal, go to the directory containing your Podfile and run:
pod install --repo-update
Tips：
After installation, open your project using the YourProjectName.xcworkspace file.

Step 3: Initialize and Log In

To start the call service, initialize CallStore and log in the user in sequence. CallStore automatically syncs user information after a successful login and enters the ready state. The following flowchart and sample code illustrate the process:

import UIKit
import AtomicXCore
import Combine

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Initialize CallStore
        let _ = CallStore.shared

        // Set up user information
        let userID = "test_001"                    // Replace with your UserID
        let sdkAppID: Int = 1400000001             // Replace with your SDKAppID from the console
        let secretKey = "**************"           // Replace with your SecretKey from the console

        // Generate UserSig (for local testing only; always generate UserSig on your server in production)
        let userSig = GenerateTestUserSig.genTestUserSig(
            userID: userID,
            sdkAppID: sdkAppID,
            secretKey: secretKey
        )

        // Log in
        LoginStore.shared.login(
            sdkAppID: sdkAppID,
            userID: userID,
            userSig: userSig
        ) { result in
            switch result {
            case .success:
                Log.info("login success")
                // Initialize TUICallEngine
                TUICallEngine.createInstance().`init`(Int32(sdkAppID), userId: userID, userSig: userSig) {
                    Log.info("TUICallEngine init success")
                } fail: { code, message in
                    Log.error("TUICallEngine init failed, code: \(code), message: \(message ?? "")")
                }
                
            case .failure(let error):
                Log.error("login failed, code: \(error.code), error: \(error.message)")
            }
        }
    }
}
Parameter
Type
Description
userID
String
Unique identifier for the current user. Only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. Avoid using simple IDs like 1 or 123 to prevent multi-device login conflicts.
sdkAppID
int
Obtain from the console.
secretKey
String
SDKSecretKey for your audio/video application, created in the console.
userSig
String
Authentication token for TRTC.
Development: Use the local GenerateTestUserSig.genTestUserSig function or the UserSig Tool to generate a temporary UserSig.
Production: Always generate UserSig server-side to prevent SecretKey leakage. See Server-side UserSig Generation. For more details, see How to calculate and use UserSig.

Implementation Steps

Before making a call, ensure the user is logged in—this is required for the service to function. The following five steps outline how to implement the "Make a Call" feature.

Step 1: Create the Call Interface

You need to create a call screen that is displayed when a call is initiated.
1. Create the call screen: Implement a new UIViewController to serve as the call interface. This will be used for both outgoing and incoming calls.
2. Attach CallCoreView: Add the core call view component to your call screen. CallCoreView automatically observes CallStore data and renders video streams, with options for customizing layout, avatars, and icons.
import UIKit
import AtomicXCore

class CallViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.backgroundColor = .black
        // Attach CallCoreView to the call screen
        callCoreView = CallCoreView(frame: view.bounds)
        callCoreView?.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
        if let callCoreView = callCoreView {
            view.addSubview(callCoreView)
        }
    }
}
CallCoreView Feature Overview:
Feature
Description
Reference
Set Layout Mode
Switch between layout modes. If not set, layout adapts automatically based on participant count.
Switch Layout Mode
Set Avatar
Customize avatars for specific users by providing avatar resource paths.
Customize Default Avatar
Set Volume Indicator Icon
Set custom volume indicator icons for different volume levels.
Customize Volume Indicator Icon
Set Network Indicator Icon
Set network status indicator icons based on real-time network quality.
Customize Network Indicator Icon
Set Waiting Animation for Users
Support GIF animations for users in waiting state during multi-party calls.

Step 2: Add Call Control Buttons

Use the APIs from DeviceStore and CallStore to implement custom call control buttons.
DeviceStore Controls: Microphone (toggle/on/off, volume), camera (toggle/on/off, switch, quality), screen sharing, and real-time device status monitoring. Bind button actions to the corresponding methods, and update button UI in real time by observing device status changes.
CallStore Controls: Answer, hang up, reject, and other core call actions. Bind button actions to the appropriate methods and observe call status to keep the UI in sync.
Icon Resources: Download button icons from GitHub. These icons are designed for TUICallKit and are free to use.

Example: Adding Hang Up, Microphone, and Camera Buttons
1.1 Add Hang Up Button: Create and add a hang up button. When tapped, call hangup and close the call screen.
import UIKit
import AtomicXCore
import Combine

class CallViewController: UIViewController {
    private lazy var buttonHangup: UIButton = {
        let buttonWidth: CGFloat = 80
        let buttonHeight: CGFloat = 80
        let spacing: CGFloat = 30
        let bottomMargin: CGFloat = 80
        
        let totalWidth = buttonWidth * 3 + spacing * 2
        let startX = (view.bounds.width - totalWidth) / 2
        let buttonY = view.bounds.height - bottomMargin - buttonHeight
        
        let button = createButton(
            frame: CGRect(x: startX + (buttonWidth + spacing) * 2, y: buttonY, width: buttonWidth, height: buttonHeight),
            title: "hangup"
        )
        button.backgroundColor = .systemRed
        button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(touchHangupButton), for: .touchUpInside)
        return button
    }()
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Other initialization code
        // 1. Add a hang-up button
        view.addSubview(buttonHangup)
    }
    
    @objc private func touchHangupButton() {
        // 2. Call the hangup API in the click event and destroy the page
        CallStore.shared.hangup(completion: nil)
    }

    private func createButton(frame: CGRect, title: String) -> UIButton {
        let button = UIButton(type: .system)
        button.frame = frame
        button.setTitle(title, for: .normal)
        button.setTitleColor(.white, for: .normal)
        button.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0.3, alpha: 0.8)
        button.layer.cornerRadius = frame.width / 2
        button.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14)
        return button
    }
}
1.2 Add Microphone Toggle Button: Create and add a microphone toggle button. When tapped, call openLocalMicrophone or closeLocalMicrophone.
import UIKit
import AtomicXCore
import Combine

class CallViewController: UIViewController {
    private lazy var buttonMicrophone: UIButton = {
        let buttonWidth: CGFloat = 80
        let buttonHeight: CGFloat = 80
        let spacing: CGFloat = 30
        let bottomMargin: CGFloat = 80
        let totalWidth = buttonWidth * 3 + spacing * 2
        let startX = (view.bounds.width - totalWidth) / 2
        let buttonY = view.bounds.height - bottomMargin - buttonHeight
        
        let button = createButton(
            frame: CGRect(x: startX + buttonWidth + spacing, y: buttonY, width: buttonWidth, height: buttonHeight),
            title: "Microphone"
        )
        button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(touchMicrophoneButton), for: .touchUpInside)
        return button
    }()
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Other initialization code
        // 1. Add a microphone toggle button
        view.addSubview(buttonMicrophone)
    }
    
    // 2. Toggle the microphone (on/off) in the click event
    @objc private func touchMicrophoneButton() {
        let microphoneStatus = DeviceStore.shared.state.value.microphoneStatus
        if microphoneStatus == .on {
            DeviceStore.shared.closeLocalMicrophone()
        } else {
            DeviceStore.shared.openLocalMicrophone(completion: nil)
        }
    }
    
    // Helper method to create circular buttons
    private func createButton(frame: CGRect, title: String) -> UIButton {
        let button = UIButton(type: .system)
        button.frame = frame
        button.setTitle(title, for: .normal)
        button.setTitleColor(.white, for: .normal)
        button.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0.3, alpha: 0.8)
        button.layer.cornerRadius = frame.width / 2
        button.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14)
        return button
    }
}
1.3 Add Camera Toggle Button: Add a camera toggle button to the bottom toolbar. When tapped, call openLocalCamera or closeLocalCamera.
import UIKit
import AtomicXCore
import Combine

class CallViewController: UIViewController {
    private lazy var buttonCamera: UIButton = {
        let buttonWidth: CGFloat = 80
        let buttonHeight: CGFloat = 80
        let spacing: CGFloat = 30
        let bottomMargin: CGFloat = 80
        let totalWidth = buttonWidth * 3 + spacing * 2
        let startX = (view.bounds.width - totalWidth) / 2
        let buttonY = view.bounds.height - bottomMargin - buttonHeight
        
        let button = createButton(
            frame: CGRect(x: startX, y: buttonY, width: buttonWidth, height: buttonHeight),
            title: "Camera" // Camera
        )
        button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(touchCameraButton), for: .touchUpInside)
        return button
    }()
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Other initialization code
        // 1. Add camera toggle button
        view.addSubview(buttonCamera)
    }

    // 2. Camera button click event
    @objc private func touchCameraButton() {
        let cameraStatus = DeviceStore.shared.state.value.cameraStatus
        if cameraStatus == .on {
            DeviceStore.shared.closeLocalCamera()
        } else {
            let isFront = DeviceStore.shared.state.value.isFrontCamera
            DeviceStore.shared.openLocalCamera(isFront: isFront, completion: nil)
        }
    }
    
    // Helper method to create circular buttons
    private func createButton(frame: CGRect, title: String) -> UIButton {
        let button = UIButton(type: .system)
        button.frame = frame
        button.setTitle(title, for: .normal)
        button.setTitleColor(.white, for: .normal)
        button.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0.3, alpha: 0.8)
        button.layer.cornerRadius = frame.width / 2
        button.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14)
        return button
    }
}
1.4 Update Button Labels in Real Time: Observe microphone and camera status and update button labels accordingly.
import UIKit
import AtomicXCore
import Combine

class CallViewController: UIViewController {
    private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Other initialization code
        // 1. Observe microphone and camera status
        observeDeviceState()
    }
    
    private func observeDeviceState() {
        DeviceStore.shared.state.subscribe()
            .map { $0.cameraStatus }
            .removeDuplicates()
            .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
            .sink { [weak self] cameraStatus in
                // 2. Update camera button text
                let title = cameraStatus == .on ? "Turn Off Camera" : "Turn On Camera"
                self?.buttonCamera?.setTitle(title, for: .normal)
            }
            .store(in: &cancellables)
        
        DeviceStore.shared.state.subscribe()
            .map { $0.microphoneStatus }
            .removeDuplicates()
            .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
            .sink { [weak self] microphoneStatus in
                // 2. Update microphone button text
                let title = microphoneStatus == .on ? "Turn Off Mic" : "Turn On Mic"
                self?.buttonMicrophone?.setTitle(title, for: .normal)
            }
            .store(in: &cancellables)
    }
}

Step 3: Request Microphone/Camera Permissions

Check for audio/video permissions before starting a call. If permissions are missing, prompt the user to grant them.
1. Declare permissions: Add the following keys to your app’s Info.plist with appropriate usage descriptions. These will be shown to users when the system requests permissions:
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Camera access is required for video calls and group video calls.</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Microphone access is required for audio calls, group audio calls, video calls, and group video calls.</string>
2. Request permissions dynamically: Request audio/video permissions based on the call media type when initiating a call.
import AVFoundation
import UIKit

extension UIViewController {
    
    // Check microphone permission
    func checkMicrophonePermission(completion: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) {
        let status = AVCaptureDevice.authorizationStatus(for: .audio)
        
        switch status {
        case .authorized:
            completion(true)
            
        case .notDetermined:
            AVCaptureDevice.requestAccess(for: .audio) { granted in
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    completion(granted)
                }
            }
            
        case .denied, .restricted:
            completion(false)
            
        @unknown default:
            completion(false)
        }
    }
    
    // Check camera permission
    func checkCameraPermission(completion: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) {
        let status = AVCaptureDevice.authorizationStatus(for: .video)
        
        switch status {
        case .authorized:
            completion(true)
            
        case .notDetermined:
            AVCaptureDevice.requestAccess(for: .video) { granted in
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    completion(granted)
                }
            }
            
        case .denied, .restricted:
            completion(false)
            
        @unknown default:
            completion(false)
        }
    }
    
    // Show permission alert
    func showPermissionAlert(message: String) {
        let alert = UIAlertController(
            title: "Permission Required", // Permission Required
            message: message,
            preferredStyle: .alert
        )
        
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Settings", style: .default) { _ in // Settings
            if let url = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString) {
                UIApplication.shared.open(url)
            }
        })
        
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel)) // Cancel
        present(alert, animated: true)
    }
}

Step 4: Make a Call

After calling calls, navigate to the call screen. For the best user experience, automatically enable the microphone or camera based on the media type.
1. Initiate the call: Call calls to start a call.
2. Enable media devices: After the call is initiated, enable the microphone. If it’s a video call, also enable the camera.
3. Present the call screen: On successful call initiation, present the call screen.
import UIKit
import AtomicXCore
import Combine

class MainViewController: UIViewController {
    // 1. Initiate a call
    private func startCall(userIdList: [String], mediaType: CallMediaType) {
        var params = CallParams()
        params.timeout = 30  // Set call timeout to 30 seconds

        CallStore.shared.calls(
            participantIds: userIdList,    
            callMediaType: mediaType,      // Call type: .audio or .video
            params: params
        ) { [weak self] result in
            switch result {
            case .success:
                // 2. Enable media devices
                self?.openDevices(for: mediaType)
                // 3. Launch the call interface
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    let callVC = CallViewController()
                    callVC.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
                    self?.present(callVC, animated: true)
                }
                
            case .failure(let error):
                Log.error("Failed to initiate call: \(error)")
            }
        }
    }
    
    private func openDevices(for mediaType: CallMediaType) {
        DeviceStore.shared.openLocalMicrophone(completion: nil)
        if mediaType == .video {
            let isFront = DeviceStore.shared.state.value.isFrontCamera
            DeviceStore.shared.openLocalCamera(isFront: isFront, completion: nil)
        }
    }
}

Adding a Call Duration Indicator

To display the call duration in real time, subscribe to the activeCall duration field.
1. Subscribe to the data layer: Observe CallStore.observerState.activeCall for changes.
2. Bind the duration to your UI: The activeCall.duration field is reactive and will automatically update your UI.
import UIKit
import AtomicXCore
import Combine

class TimerView: UILabel {
    private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
    
    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        setupView()
    }
    
    required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: coder)
        setupView()
    }
    
    private func setupView() {
        textColor = .white
        textAlignment = .center
        font = .systemFont(ofSize: 16)
    }
    
    override func didMoveToWindow() {
        super.didMoveToWindow()
        if window != nil {
            // [Recommended Usage] Animation for group calls. 
            // Once configured, this animation is displayed when the user's status is "Waiting to Answer".
            registerActiveCallObserver()
        } else {
            cancellables.removeAll()
        }
    }
    
    private func registerActiveCallObserver() {
        CallStore.shared.state.subscribe()
            .map { $0.activeCall }
            .removeDuplicates { $0.duration == $1.duration }
            .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
            .sink { [weak self] activeCall in
                // Update call duration
                self?.updateDurationView(activeCall: activeCall)
            }
            .store(in: &cancellables)
    }
    
    private func updateDurationView(activeCall: CallInfo) {
        let currentDuration = activeCall.duration
        let minutes = currentDuration / 60
        let seconds = currentDuration % 60
        text = String(format: "%02d:%02d", minutes, seconds)
    }
}

Implementing In-App Floating Window

The AtomicXCore SDK provides the CallPipView component to enable in-app floating windows. When the call interface is covered by another screen (e.g., the user navigates away but the call is ongoing), a floating window displays call status and lets users quickly return to the call.
Step 1: Create the Floating Window Controller.
import UIKit
import AtomicXCore
import Combine

/**
 * Floating Window Controller
 * * Used to display the call in a floating window, containing a CallCoreView internally.
 */
class FloatWindowViewController: UIViewController {
    
    var tapGestureAction: (() -> Void)?
    private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
    
    private lazy var callCoreView: CallCoreView = {
        let view = CallCoreView(frame: self.view.bounds)
        view.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
        view.setLayoutTemplate(.pip)  // Set to Picture-in-Picture (PIP) layout mode
        view.isUserInteractionEnabled = false  // Disable interaction to allow taps to pass through to the parent view
        return view
    }()
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0.1, alpha: 1.0)
        view.layer.cornerRadius = 10
        view.layer.masksToBounds = true
        
        view.addSubview(callCoreView)
        
        // Add tap gesture recognizer
        let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleTap))
        view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
        
        // Delay status observation to prevent the window from closing immediately upon creation
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1.0) { [weak self] in
            self?.observeCallStatus()
        }
    }
    
    @objc private func handleTap() {
        tapGestureAction?()
    }
    
    /**
     * Observe call status changes
     * Automatically closes the floating window when the call ends.
     */
    private func observeCallStatus() {
        CallStore.shared.state
            .subscribe(StatePublisherSelector<CallState, CallParticipantStatus>(keyPath: \.selfInfo.status))
            .removeDuplicates()
            .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
            .sink { [weak self] status in
                if status == .none {
                    // Call ended, post notification to hide the floating window
                    NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name("HideFloatingWindow"), object: nil)
                }
            }
            .store(in: &cancellables)
    }
    
    deinit {
        cancellables.removeAll()
    }
}
Step 2: Implement floating window management logic in the main interface.
import UIKit
import AtomicXCore

class MainViewController: UIViewController {
    
    private var floatWindow: UIWindow?
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        // Listen for the notification to show the floating window
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
            self,
            selector: #selector(showFloatingWindow),
            name: NSNotification.Name("ShowFloatingWindow"),
            object: nil
        )
        
        // Listen for the notification to hide the floating window
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
            self,
            selector: #selector(hideFloatingWindow),
            name: NSNotification.Name("HideFloatingWindow"),
            object: nil
        )
    }
    
    /**
     * Displays the in-app floating window.
     */
    @objc private func showFloatingWindow() {
        // Check if the call is currently active/accepted
        let selfStatus = CallStore.shared.state.value.selfInfo.status
        guard selfStatus == .accept else {
            return
        }
        
        // Prevent duplicate creation if the floating window already exists
        guard floatWindow == nil else { return }
        
        // ⚠️ CRITICAL: The current windowScene must be used to create the new window
        guard let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene else {
            return
        }
        
        // Define floating window dimensions (9:16 aspect ratio)
        let pipWidth: CGFloat = 100
        let pipHeight: CGFloat = pipWidth * 16 / 9
        let pipX = UIScreen.main.bounds.width - pipWidth - 20
        let pipY: CGFloat = 100
        
        // Create the floating window (associated with the windowScene)
        let window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
        window.windowLevel = .alert + 1 // Ensure it stays above standard UI
        window.backgroundColor = .clear
        window.frame = CGRect(x: pipX, y: pipY, width: pipWidth, height: pipHeight)
        
        // Initialize the floating window controller
        let floatVC = FloatWindowViewController()
        floatVC.tapGestureAction = { [weak self] in
            self?.openCallViewController()
        }
        
        window.rootViewController = floatVC
        
        self.floatWindow = window
        
        // Make the window visible
        window.isHidden = false
        window.makeKeyAndVisible()
        
        // Immediately restore the main window as the key window to maintain proper app focus
        if let mainWindow = windowScene.windows.first(where: { $0 != window }) {
            mainWindow.makeKey()
        }
    }
    
    /**
     * Hides the in-app floating window.
     */
    @objc private func hideFloatingWindow() {
        floatWindow?.isHidden = true
        floatWindow = nil
    }
    
    /**
     * Opens the call interface (triggered upon tapping the floating window).
     */
    private func openCallViewController() {
        // Dismiss the floating window first
        hideFloatingWindow()
        
        // Retrieve the current top-most ViewController
        guard let topVC = getTopViewController() else {
            return
        }
        
        let callVC = CallViewController()
        callVC.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
        topVC.present(callVC, animated: true)
    }
    
    /**
     * Utility to retrieve the current top-most ViewController in the view hierarchy.
     */
    private func getTopViewController() -> UIViewController? {
        guard let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene,
              let keyWindow = windowScene.windows.first(where: { $0.isKeyWindow }),
              let rootVC = keyWindow.rootViewController else {
            return nil
        }
        
        var topVC = rootVC
        while let presentedVC = topVC.presentedViewController {
            topVC = presentedVC
        }
        
        return topVC
    }
    
    deinit {
        NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
    }
}
Step 3: Add the floating window trigger logic to the Call Interface.
import UIKit
import AtomicXCore

class CallViewController: UIViewController {
    
    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        
        // When entering the call interface, post a notification to hide the floating window
        NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name("HideFloatingWindow"), object: nil)
    }
    
    override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
        
        // When leaving the call interface, check if the call is still active
        let selfStatus = CallStore.shared.state.value.selfInfo.status
        if selfStatus == .accept {
            // If the call is still ongoing, post a notification to show the floating window
            NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name("ShowFloatingWindow"), object: nil)
        }
    }
}

Enabling System Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Outside the App

AtomicXCore SDK supports system-level PiP via the underlying TRTC engine. When your app goes to the background, the call video can float above other apps as a system PiP window, so users can continue their video call while multitasking.
Note：
1. In Xcode, add Background Modes under Signing & Capabilities and enable Audio, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture.
2. Requires iOS 15.0 or later.
1. Configure PiP Parameters: You need to set parameters such as the fill mode for the PiP window, user video regions, and canvas configurations.
import Foundation
import AtomicXCore

// Fill Mode Enumeration
enum PictureInPictureFillMode: Int, Codable {
    case fill = 0  // Aspect Fill (Scale to fill, may crop)
    case fit = 1   // Aspect Fit (Scale to fit, no cropping)
}

// User Video Region
struct PictureInPictureRegion: Codable {
    let userId: String           // Unique User ID
    let width: Double            // Width (0.0 - 1.0, relative to canvas)
    let height: Double           // Height (0.0 - 1.0, relative to canvas)
    let x: Double                // X coordinate (0.0 - 1.0, relative to top-left of canvas)
    let y: Double                // Y coordinate (0.0 - 1.0, relative to top-left of canvas)
    let fillMode: PictureInPictureFillMode  // Rendering fill mode
    let streamType: String       // Stream type ("high" for HD or "low" for SD)
    let backgroundColor: String  // Hex background color (e.g., "#000000")
}

// Canvas Configuration
struct PictureInPictureCanvas: Codable {
    let width: Int              // Canvas width in pixels
    let height: Int             // Canvas height in pixels
    let backgroundColor: String // Hex background color
}

// Picture-in-Picture Parameters
struct PictureInPictureParams: Codable {
    let enable: Bool                        // Toggle PiP functionality
    let cameraBackgroundCapture: Bool?      // Whether to continue camera capture in background
    let canvas: PictureInPictureCanvas?     // Canvas settings (Optional)
    let regions: [PictureInPictureRegion]?  // List of user video regions (Optional)
}

// PiP API Request Object
struct PictureInPictureRequest: Codable {
    let api: String                    // API identifier name
    let params: PictureInPictureParams // Parameter payload
}
2. Enable Picture-in-Picture: You can enable or disable the PiP feature using the configPictureInPicture method.
let params = PictureInPictureParams(
    enable: true,
    cameraBackgroundCapture: true,
    canvas: nil,
    regions: nil
)

let request = PictureInPictureRequest(
    api: "configPictureInPicture",
    params: params
)

// Encode to JSON string and call the Experimental API
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
if let data = try? encoder.encode(request),
   let jsonString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
    TUICallEngine.createInstance().callExperimentalAPI(jsonObject: jsonString)
}

Keeping the Screen Awake During Calls

To prevent the screen from dimming or locking during a call, set UIApplication.shared.isIdleTimerDisabled = true when the call starts, and restore it when the call ends.
class CallViewController: UIViewController {
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        // Disable automatic screen lock to keep the screen on
        UIApplication.shared.isIdleTimerDisabled = true
    }
    
    override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
        
        // Restore the automatic screen lock behavior
        UIApplication.shared.isIdleTimerDisabled = false
    }
}

Playing a Ringtone While Waiting for Answer

Listen to your own call status to play a ringtone while waiting for an answer, and stop the ringtone when the call is answered or ends.
import Combine

private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()

private func observeSelfCallStatus() {
    CallStore.shared.state.subscribe()
        .map { $0.selfInfo.status }
        .removeDuplicates()
        .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
        .sink { [weak self] status in
            if status == .accept || status == .none {
                // Stop playing ringtone
                return
            }
            
            if status == .waiting {
                // Start playing ringtone
            }
        }
        .store(in: &cancellables)
}

Enabling Background Audio/Video Capture

To allow your app to capture audio and video while in the background (e.g., when the user locks the screen or switches apps), configure iOS background mode permissions and set up the audio session.
Configuration Steps:
1. In Xcode, select your project Target → Signing & Capabilities.
2. Click + Capability.
3. Add Background Modes.
4. Enable:
Audio, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture (for audio capture and PiP)
Voice over IP (for VoIP calls)
Remote notifications (optional, for offline push)
Your Info.plist will then include:
<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
    <string>audio</string>
    <string>voip</string>
    <string>remote-notification</string>
</array>
Configure Audio Session (AVAudioSession):
Set up the audio session before the call starts, ideally in the call interface’s viewDidLoad or before making/answering a call.
import AVFoundation

/**
 * Configure the Audio Session to support background audio capture.
 * * Recommended to call this method in the following scenarios:
 * 1. Inside viewDidLoad of the call interface.
 * 2. Before initiating a call (calls).
 * 3. Before answering a call (accept).
 */
private func setupAudioSession() {
    let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
    do {
        // Set the audio session category to PlayAndRecord.
        // .allowBluetooth: Support for standard Bluetooth headsets.
        // .allowBluetoothA2DP: Support for high-quality Bluetooth audio (A2DP protocol).
        try audioSession.setCategory(.playAndRecord, options: [.allowBluetooth, .allowBluetoothA2DP])
        
        // Activate the audio session.
        try audioSession.setActive(true)
    } catch {
        // Audio session configuration failed.
        print("Failed to configure Audio Session: \(error)")
    }
}
Special Handling for Ringtone Playback (Optional):
To play a ringtone through the speaker while waiting for an answer, temporarily switch the audio session to .playback mode.
/**
 * Switch the Audio Session for ringtone playback.
 * * Use Case: When using AVAudioPlayer to play the ringtone.
 */
private func setAudioSessionForRingtone() {
    let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
    do {
        // Switch to playback mode (optimizes for output only)
        try audioSession.setCategory(.playback, options: [.allowBluetooth, .allowBluetoothA2DP])
