Expo Plugin for LiveKit React Native SDK

This plugin handles the setup required for Expo projects to use the LiveKit React Native SDK.

Installation for managed Expo projects

npx expo install @livekit/react-native @livekit/react-native-expo-plugin @livekit/react-native-webrtc @config-plugins/react-native-webrtc

Configure app.json

After installing this npm package, add the config plugin to the plugins array of your app.json or app.config.js:

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": ["@livekit/react-native-expo-plugin", "@config-plugins/react-native-webrtc"]
  }
}

This plugin optionally takes in an object to customize the configuration:

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      [
        "@livekit/react-native-expo-plugin",
        {
          "android": {
            "audioType": <"media" or "communication"> (defaults to "communication")
          }
        }
      ]
    ]
  }
}

Installation in React Native projects
