What is vidyoplatform-connector-ios?

VidyoPlatform Connector iOS is a sample app showing how to add video chat to a native iPhone or iPad application. Think of it as a working template, rather than starting from scratch to figure out how to embed video calling into your iOS app, you get a pre-built example that already connects to the VidyoPlatform video service and handles the core pieces of a video call. The project is written in Objective-C, a programming language commonly used for iOS development (though increasingly replaced by Swift in newer projects). To use it, you download a separate software package called the VidyoClient iOS SDK, drop this repository's code into a specific folder within that package, and open everything in Xcode (Apple's official tool for building iOS apps). From there, you connect a physical iPhone or iPad to your computer and run the app directly on the device. This is aimed at iOS developers or technical founders who want to integrate Vidyo's video technology into their own app. For example, if you're building a telehealth app where patients connect with doctors over video, or a customer support app with live video chat, this reference app gives you a concrete starting point. Instead of reading documentation and guessing how things fit together, you can see a working implementation and adapt it to your needs. The README is fairly sparse and doesn't go into detail about specific features, customization options, or how the underlying video technology works. It focuses almost entirely on setup instructions, getting the SDK, cloning the code, and running it on a device. You would need to explore the code itself or consult the broader VidyoPlatform documentation to understand what the app actually does once it's running.
