Cisco Webex iOS SDK Example

This Kitchen Sink demo employs Cisco Webex service through Webex iOS SDK. It provides a developer friendly sample implementation of Webex client SDK and showcases all SDK features. It focuses on how to call and use Webex-SDK APIs. Developers could directly cut, paste, and use the code from this sample.

This demo supports iOS devices with iOS 13 or later when the SDK is integrated using CocoaPods, and iOS 15 or later when it is integrated using Swift Package Manager.

Download App

You can download our Demo App from TestFlight.

1. Download TestFlight from App Store.
2. Open the public url(https://testflight.apple.com/join/obJ7Inof) from your iPhone browser.
3. Start Testing and install Ktichen Sink App from TestFlight.

Setup

The Webex iOS SDK can be integrated using either CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager. Both channels deliver the same binaries, and in both cases you write import WebexSDK in your code.

• CocoaPods — available for WebexSDK releases published up to 2 December 2026. Minimum iOS deployment target 13.0. This is how the KitchenSink project is configured out of the box.
• Swift Package Manager — available from WebexSDK 3.17.0 onward. Requires Xcode 15 or later and a minimum iOS deployment target of 15.0. Releases 3.16.2 and earlier are CocoaPods only.

Important — CocoaPods stops accepting new versions on 2 December 2026. The CocoaPods trunk becomes permanently read-only on that date, as announced in the CocoaPods Trunk Read-only Plan. WebexSDK releases published after that date will be available through Swift Package Manager only. Existing Podfiles continue to resolve the versions published before the cutoff, so current builds will not break.

Using CocoaPods

1. Install CocoaPods:

   gem install cocoapods

2. Setup Cocoapods:

   pod setup

3. Install WebexSDK and other dependencies from your project directory:

   pod install

4. Open the generated KitchenSink.xcworkspace in Xcode.

5. To use a lighter SDK flavor (Meeting, Calling, or Message only), uncomment the matching line in the Podfile, comment out pod 'WebexSDK', and run pod install again.

Using Swift Package Manager

To build KitchenSink with Swift Package Manager instead of CocoaPods:

1. Remove the CocoaPods integration from the project directory, then delete the Podfile, Podfile.lock, and KitchenSink.xcworkspace if present:

   pod deintegrate

2. Open KitchenSink.xcodeproj in Xcode.

3. Choose File ▸ Add Package Dependencies… and enter the package URL:

   https://github.com/webex/webex-ios-sdk
   

4. Set the dependency rule to Up to Next Major Version starting at 3.17.0.

5. Add the products to the targets as follows:

   Target	Product
   KitchenSink	WebexSDK
   KitchenSinkBroadcastExtension	WebexBroadcastExtensionKit

Add only one WebexSDK product to the app target. The products map to the CocoaPods flavors as follows:

Swift Package Manager product	Equivalent pod
WebexSDK	pod 'WebexSDK' (Full)
WebexSDKMeeting	pod 'WebexSDK/Meeting'
WebexSDKWxc	pod 'WebexSDK/Wxc'
WebexSDKMessage	pod 'WebexSDK/Message'
WebexBroadcastExtensionKit	pod 'WebexBroadcastExtensionKit'

Whichever WebexSDK product you pick, the module name is always WebexSDK, so no source changes are needed in KitchenSink. For the full walkthrough, see Integrating SDK with App using Swift Package Manager.

Project configuration

These steps apply to both CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager setups.

1. To the app’s Info.plist, please add an entry GroupIdentifier with the value as your app's GroupIdentifier. This is required so that we can get a path to store the local data warehouse. Note: You'll need to claim your own GroupIdentifier from Apple developer site.

2. If you'll be using WebexBroadcastExtensionKit, you also need to add an entry GroupIdentifier with the value as your app's GroupIdentifier to your Broadcast Extension target. This is required so that we that we can communicate with the main app for screen sharing.

3. Modify the Signing & Capabilities section in your xcode project as follows

Usage

1. Add Secrets.plist file in your project and add following fields:

   clientId
   clientSecret
   redirectUri
   

   

2. Enabling and using screen share on your iPhone

   • Add screen recording to control center:

     1. Open Settings -> Control Center -> Customize Controls

     2. Tap '+' on Screen Recording

   • To share your screen in KitchenSink:

     1. Swipe up to open Control Center

     2. Long press on recording button

     3. select the KitchenSinkBroadcastExtension, tap Start Broadcast button
