WebRTC Binaries for iOS and macOS

This repository contains a community-driven distribution of WebRTC framework binaries for iOS and macOS.

Since version M80, Google has deprecated their mobile binary libraries distributions (Was officially using the GoogleWebRTC pod). To get the most up to date WebRTC library, you can compile it on your own, or you can use precompiled binaries from here or other sources.

📦 Releases

The binary releases correspond with official Chromium releases and branches as specified in the Chromium dashboard.

💡 Things to know

• All binaries in this repository are compiled from the official WebRTC source code .
• No modifications are made to the source code or the output binaries.
• The build process is open source using GitHub actions.
• Dynamic framework (xcframework format) which contains multiple binaries for macOS and iOS.
• Added support for extra encodings: VP9, H264 and AV1.
• H.265 / HEVC: the SDP negotiation and RTP packetization layer is compiled but WebRTC ships no HEVC encoder or decoder for Apple platforms.
• dSYM files are included in case you need them. You can download them from the releases page. (Available from version M152).

📢 Requirements

• iOS 12+
• macOS 10.11+
• macOS Catalyst 11.0+

🚚 Installation

Swift package manager

Xcode has a built-in support for Swift package manager. You can easily add the package by selecting File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency. Read more in Apple documentation.

Or, you can add the following dependency to your Package.swift file:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/stasel/WebRTC.git", .upToNextMajor("152.0.0"))
]

Use the latest branch to get the most up to date binary:
