React Native CallKeep
React Native CallKeep utilises a brand new iOS 10 framework CallKit and Android ConnectionService to make the life easier for VoIP developers using React Native.
For more information about CallKit on iOS, please see Official CallKit Framework Document or Introduction to CallKit by Xamarin
For more information about ConnectionService on Android, please see Android Documentation and Build a calling app
⚠️ CallKit and ConnectionService are only available on real devices, this library will not work on simulators.
Summary
Demo
A demo of react-native-callkeep
is available in the wazo-react-native-demo repository.
Android
iOS
Installation
npm install --save react-native-callkeep
yarn add react-native-callkeep
Usage
Setup
import RNCallKeep from 'react-native-callkeep';
const options = {
ios: {
appName: 'My app name',
},
android: {
alertTitle: 'Permissions required',
alertDescription: 'This application needs to access your phone accounts',
cancelButton: 'Cancel',
okButton: 'ok',
imageName: 'phone_account_icon',
additionalPermissions: [PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.example],
foregroundService: {
channelId: 'com.company.my',
channelName: 'Foreground service for my app',
notificationTitle: 'My app is running on background',
notificationIcon: 'Path to the resource icon of the notification',
},
}
};
RNCallKeep.setup(options).then(accepted => {});
iOS only.
Alternative on iOS you can perform setup in AppDelegate.m
. Doing this allows capturing events prior to the react native event bridge being up. Please be aware that calling setup in AppDelegate.m
will ignore any subsequent calls to RNCallKeep.setup();
.

setup
calls internally registerPhoneAccount
, registerEvents
and setSettings
.
You can alternatively just call setSettings()
with the same option as setup()
to define only your settings.
Usage with Expo
To use this library with Expo, you will need to create a development build. Expo Go does not support custom native modules. For information on how to create and run a development build, visit: Create a development build - Expo Documentation. You can use and test this library with a development build installed on your physical device (iOS and Android).
Constants
To make passing the right integer into methods easier, there are constants that are exported from the module.
const CONSTANTS = {
END_CALL_REASONS: {
FAILED: 1,
REMOTE_ENDED: 2,
UNANSWERED: 3,
ANSWERED_ELSEWHERE: 4,
DECLINED_ELSEWHERE: 5,
MISSED: 6
}
};
const { CONSTANTS as CK_CONSTANTS, RNCallKeep } from 'react-native-callkeep';
console.log(CK_CONSTANTS.END_CALL_REASONS.FAILED) // outputs 1
Android Self Managed Mode
This feature is available only on Android.
Android supports calling apps running in what's called "Self Managed". This means the apps are able (and required) to provide their own UI for managing calls. This includes both in call UI elements and incoming call notification UI. This method is all or nothing. You can't mix partial elements, such as having a custom in call view, but use the default incoming call UI.
To implement a self managed calling app, the following steps are necessary:
- Set
selfManaged: true
in setup. - On an incoming call, from react native, call
RNCallKeep.displayIncomingCall
- CallKeep will then fire the
showIncomingCallUi
event. - When
showIncomingCallUi
is fired, you must show an incoming call UI. This would be a high priority notification (Android: Display time-sensitive notifications). - If the user answers the call, you call the appropriate RNCallKeep actions such as
answerCall
or endCall
- In certain cases Android will not allow you to show an incoming call notification. In that case the 'createIncomingConnectionFailed' event is fired and you should reject the incoming SIP Invite.
Self Managed calling apps are an advanced topic, and there are many steps involved in implementing them, but here are some things to keep in mind:
- React Native Headless Tasks are a great way to execute React Native code. Remember to start up the headless task as a Foreground Service.
- Android will deprioritize your high priority FCM notifications if you fail to show an incoming call ui when receiving them.
- You can avoid getting flooded with sticky foreground service notifications by not defining a Foreground Service for CallKeep, and instead managing this on your own.
⚠️ To be able to use the self managed mode, you'll have to add the READ_CALL_LOG
permission in your android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" />
API
getInitialEvents
If there were some actions performed by user before JS context has been created, this method would return early fired events. This is alternative to "didLoadWithEvents" event.
RNCallKeep.getInitialEvents();
clearInitialEvents
Clear all pending actions returned by getInitialEvents()
.
RNCallKeep.clearInitialEvents();
setAvailable
This feature is available only on Android.
Tell ConnectionService that the device is ready to make outgoing calls via the native Phone app.
If not the user will be stuck in the build UI screen without any actions.
Eg: Call it with false
when disconnected from the sip client, when your token expires, when your user log out ...
Eg: When your used log out (or the connection to your server is broken, etc..), you have to call setAvailable(false)
so CallKeep will refuse the call and your user will not be stuck in the native UI.
RNCallKeep.setAvailable(true);
setForegroundServiceSettings
This feature is available only on Android.
Configures the Foreground Service used for Android 11 to get microphone access on background.
Similar to set the foregroundService
key in the setup()
method.
RNCallKeep.setForegroundServiceSettings({
channelId: 'com.company.my',
channelName: 'Foreground service for my app',
notificationTitle: 'My app is running on background',
notificationIcon: 'Path to the resource icon of the notification',
});
canMakeMultipleCalls
This feature is available only on Android.
Disable the "Add call" button in ConnectionService UI.
RNCallKeep.canMakeMultipleCalls(false);
active
: boolean
- Tell whether the app is ready or not
setCurrentCallActive
This feature is available only on Android.
Mark the current call as active (eg: when the callee has answered).
Necessary to set the correct Android capabilities (hold, mute) once the call is set as active.
Be sure to set this only after your call is ready for two way audio; used both incoming and outgoing calls.
RNCallKeep.setCurrentCallActive(uuid);

Returns true if the UUID passed matches an existing and answered call.
This will return true ONLY if the call exists and the user has already answered the call. It will return false
if the call does not exist or has not been answered. This is exposed to both React Native and Native sides.
This was exposed so a call can be canceled if ringing and the user answered on a different device.

This feature is available only on Android, useful when waking up the application for an outgoing call.
When waking up the Android application in background mode (eg: when the application is killed and the user make a call from the native Phone application).
The user can hang up the call before your application has been started in background mode, and you can lost the RNCallKeepPerformEndCallAction
event.
To be sure that the outgoing call is still here, you can call hasOutgoingCall
when you app waken up.
const hasOutgoingCall = await RNCallKeep.hasOutgoingCall();
hasDefaultPhoneAccount
This feature is available only on Android.
Checks if the user has set a default phone account.
If the user has not set a default they will be prompted to do so with an alert.
This is a workaround for an issue affecting some Samsung devices.
const options = {
alertTitle: 'Default not set',
alertDescription: 'Please set the default phone account'
};
RNCallKeep.hasDefaultPhoneAccount(options);
checkPhoneAccountEnabled
This feature is available only on Android.
Checks if the user has set a default phone account and it's enabled.
It's useful for custom permission prompts. It should be used in pair with registerPhoneAccount
Similar to hasDefaultPhoneAccount
but without trigering a prompt if the user doesn't have a phone account.
RNCallKeep.checkPhoneAccountEnabled();
isConnectionServiceAvailable
This feature is available only on Android.
Check if the device support ConnectionService.
RNCallKeep.checkPhoneAccountEnabled();

RNCallKeep.backToForeground();
removeEventListener
Allows to remove the listener on an event.
RNCallKeep.removeEventListener('checkReachability');
registerPhoneAccount
Registers Android phone account manually, useful for custom permission prompts when you don't want to call setup()
.
This method is called by setup
, if you already use setup you don't need it.
This feature is available only on Android.
On iOS you still have to call setup()
.
RNCallKeep.registerPhoneAccount(options);
registerAndroidEvents
Registers Android UI events, useful when you don't want to call setup()
.
This method is called by setup
, if you already use setup you don't need it.
This feature is available only on Android.
On iOS you still have to call setup()
.
RNCallKeep.registerAndroidEvents();
Events
didReceiveStartCallAction
Device sends this event once it decides the app is allowed to start a call, either from the built-in phone screens (iOS/Recents, Android/Contact),
or by the app calling RNCallKeep.startCall
.
Try to start your app call action from here (e.g. get credentials of the user by data.handle
and/or send INVITE to your SIP server)
Note: on iOS callUUID
is not defined as the call is not yet managed by CallKit. You have to generate your own and call startCall
.
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didReceiveStartCallAction', ({ handle, callUUID, name }) => {
});
handle
(string)
- Phone number of the callee
callUUID
(string)
- The UUID of the call that is to be answered
name
(string)
answerCall
User answer the incoming call
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('answerCall', ({ callUUID }) => {
});
callUUID
(string)
- The UUID of the call that is to be answered.
endCall
User finish the call.
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('endCall', ({ callUUID }) => {
});
callUUID
(string)
- The UUID of the call that is to be ended.
didActivateAudioSession
The AudioSession
has been activated by RNCallKeep.
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didActivateAudioSession', () => {
});

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didPerformSetMutedCallAction', ({ muted, callUUID }) => {
});
muted
(boolean)callUUID
(string)
didToggleHoldCallAction
A call was held or unheld by the current user
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didToggleHoldCallAction', ({ hold, callUUID }) => {

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didPerformDTMFAction', ({ digits, callUUID }) => {
});
digits
(string)
- The digits that emit the dtmf tone
callUUID
(string)
didLoadWithEvents
iOS only.
Called as soon as JS context initializes if there were some actions performed by user before JS context has been created.
Since iOS 13, you must display incoming call on receiving PushKit push notification. But if app was killed, it takes some time to create JS context. If user answers the call (or ends it) before JS context has been initialized, user actions will be passed as events array of this event. Similar situation can happen if user would like to start a call from Recents or similar iOS app, assuming that your app was in killed state.
In order for this event to reliably fire, it's necessary to perform setup in AppDelegate.m
NOTE: You still need to subscribe / handle the rest events as usuall. This is just a helper whcih cache and propagate early fired events if and only if for "the native events which DID fire BEFORE js bridge is initialed", it does NOT mean this will have events each time when the app reopened.
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didLoadWithEvents', (events) => {
});
events
Array
name
: string
Native event name like: RNCallKeepPerformAnswerCallAction
data
: object
Object with data passed together with specific event so it can be handled in the same way like original event, for example ({ callUUID })
for answerCall
event if name
is RNCallKeepPerformAnswerCallAction
showIncomingCallUi
Android only. Self Managed only.
Only when CallKeep is setup to be in self managed mode. Signals that the app must show an incoming call UI. The implementor must either call displayIncomingCall
from react native or native android code to make this event fire.
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('showIncomingCallUi', ({ handle, callUUID, name }) => {
});
The following values will match those initially passed to displayIncomingCall
handle
(string)
- Phone number of the incoming caller.
callUUID
(string)
name
(string)
silenceIncomingCall
Android only. Self Managed only.
Corresponds to the native onSilence event. The implementor should silence the corresponding incoming calls notification sound when and if this event is fired.
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('silenceIncomingCall', ({ handle, callUUID, name }) => {
});
The following values will match those initially passed to silenceIncomingCall
handle
(string)
- Phone number of the incoming caller.
callUUID
(string)
name
(string)
createIncomingConnectionFailed
Android only. Self Managed only.
Corresponds to the native onCreateIncomingConnectionFailed callback. The implementor should reject the incoming SIP INVITE with an appropriate status code, such as 483 User Busy. Android unfortunately does not provide the exact reason for refusing to let you accept an incoming call, but they do list a set of reasons here
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('createIncomingConnectionFailed', ({ handle, callUUID, name }) => {
});
The following values will match those initially passed to silenceIncomingCall
handle
(string)
- Phone number of the incoming caller.
callUUID
(string)
name
(string)
checkReachability
Android only.
On Android when the application is in background, after a certain delay the OS will close every connection with informing about it.
So we have to check if the application is reachable before making a call from the native phone application.
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('checkReachability', () => {
RNCallKeep.setReachable();
});
onHasActiveCall
Android only.
A listener that tells the JS side if a native call has been answered while there was an active self-managed call
RNCallKeep.addEventListener('onHasActiveCall', () => {
});

Receiving a call when the application is not reachable.
In some case your application can be unreachable :
- when the user kill the application
- when it's in background since a long time (eg: after ~5mn the os will kill all connections).
To be able to wake up your application to display the incoming call, you can use https://github.com/react-native-webrtc/react-native-voip-push-notification on iOS or BackgroundMessaging from react-native-firebase-(Optional)(Android-only)-Listen-for-FCM-messages-in-the-background).
You have to send a push to your application, like with Firebase for Android and with a library supporting PushKit pushes for iOS.
PushKit
Since iOS 13, you'll have to report the incoming calls that wakes up your application with a VoIP push. Add this in your AppDelegate.m
if you're using VoIP pushes to wake up your application :
- (void)pushRegistry:(PKPushRegistry *)registry didReceiveIncomingPushWithPayload:(PKPushPayload *)payload forType:(PKPushType)type withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(void))completion {
// Process the received push
[RNVoipPushNotificationManager didReceiveIncomingPushWithPayload:payload forType:(NSString *)type];
// Retrieve information like handle and callerName here
// NSString *uuid = /* fetch for payload or ... */ [[[NSUUID UUID] UUIDString] lowercaseString];
// NSString *callerName = @"caller name here";
// NSString *handle = @"caller number here";
// NSDictionary *extra = [payload.dictionaryPayload valueForKeyPath:@"custom.path.to.data"]; /* use this to pass any special data (ie. from your notification) down to RN. Can also be `nil` */
[RNCallKeep reportNewIncomingCall: uuid
handle: handle
handleType: @"generic"
hasVideo: NO
localizedCallerName: callerName
supportsHolding: YES
supportsDTMF: YES
supportsGrouping: YES
supportsUngrouping: YES
fromPushKit: YES
payload: extra
withCompletionHandler: completion];
}
Android 11
Since Android 11, your application requires to start a foregroundService in order to access the microphone in background.
You'll need to upgrade your compileSdkVersion
to 30
to be able to use this feature.
You have to set the foregroundService
key in the setup()
method and add a foregroundServiceType
in the AndroidManifest
file.

Troubleshooting
- Ensure that you construct a valid
uuid
