RealtimeKit React Native Core 2.0.0

Compatibility: Works best with RealtimeKit React Native UI Kit 2.0.0 or later.

This is a major breaking release. Review all breaking changes below before upgrading.

Breaking changes

  • Upgraded to @cloudflare/realtimekit v2.0.0.
    All breaking changes from Web Core v2.0.0 apply, including the complete redesign of the plugin API and removal of all deprecated APIs.
  • Requires React Native 0.84 or above and React 19 or above.
  • Requires Expo 56 or above (for Expo users).
  • Requires iOS 15.1 or above.
  • Requires @cloudflare/react-native-webrtc v137.0.1 or above.
  • Removed RealtimeKitCore import in iOS Screenshare setup and added a Podfile installer script to automatically add references to the Screenshare related files. Refer documentation for iOS Screenshare setup.
  • initClient return type changed from Promise<RealtimeKitClient> to Promise<RealtimeKitClient | undefined>. Code that assumes initClient always returns a defined value must add a null check.

Features

  • Connected Meetings support: the useRealtimeKitClient hook now automatically listens to connectedMeetings.meetingChanged and hot-swaps the active client when switching between connected or breakout meetings.
  • Background support for Android (enabled by default):
    • New exported type KeepAliveServiceConfig to configure the Android meeting foreground service notification (title, body text, enable/disable).
    • New useRealtimeKitClient({ keepAliveService }) option to customize or disable the Android foreground notification.
    • New useRealtimeKitClient({ resetOnLeave }) option to reset client state on room leave.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the microphone did not work after being toggled if audio permission had not been granted before joining the meeting.
  • Fixed an issue where the in-call notification on Android persisted after the meeting ended.
  • Fixed an issue where screen sharing failed on the first attempt on Android 14 and above.
  • Fixed an issue where stopping screen sharing did not properly clean up event listeners, which could cause screen sharing to malfunction in subsequent sessions.

RealtimeKit React Native Core 1.1.0

Features

  • Added a dedicated error code 0014 for media (WebRTC) connection failures during room join, making it easier to distinguish media failures from socket and signaling failures.

Enhancements

  • Init and join failures from initMeeting() and meeting.join() now surface specific error codes and descriptive messages instead of generic errors.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where ClientError objects were wrapped inside each other when the SDK retried failed API requests, causing nested error messages and duplicate onError callbacks.

RealtimeKit React Native Core 1.0.0

Breaking changes

  • The default base URI is now realtime.cloudflare.com. Calling initMeeting() with baseURI parameter set to a dyte.io base domain now throws an Error.
  • RealtimeKitClientOptions is renamed to RTKClientOptions.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where sometimes after rejoining a meeting & upon stopping iOS screenshare, the app freezes.
