Voice Chat

Last updated: 2024-01-18 15:11:45
    This document describes how to integrate with and debug GME client APIs for the voice chat feature for iOS.

    Key Considerations for Using GME

    GME provides the real-time voice chat service, voice messaging and speech-to-text services, which all depend on core APIs such as Init and Poll.

    Notes

    You have created a GME application and obtained the AppID and Key of the SDK as instructed in Activating Services.
    You have activated the voice chat, voice messaging, and speech-to-text services of GME. For more information, see Activating Services.
    Configure your project before using GME; otherwise, the SDK will not take effect.
    After a GME API is called successfully, QAVError.OK will be returned with the value being 0.
    GME APIs should be called in the same thread.
    The Poll API should be called periodically for GME to trigger event callbacks.
    For detailed error codes, see Error Codes.

    Integrating the SDK

    Directions

    Key processes involved in SDK integration are as follows:
    
    
    

    APIs

    @class ITMGRoom;//Room APIs
    @class ITMGAudioCtrl;//Audio APIs
    @class ITMGAudioEffectCtrl;//Sound effect and accompaniment APIs

    Core APIs

    API
    Description
    InitEngine
    Initializes GME.
    Poll
    Triggers an event callback.
    Pause
    Pauses the system.
    Resume
    Resumes the system.
    Uninit
    Uninitializes GME.
    SetDefaultAudienceAudioCategory
    Sets the audio of the iOS device.
    Note:
    If you need to switch the account, call UnInit to uninitialize the SDK. No fees are incurred for calling the InitEngine API.

    Imported header files

    #import "GMESDK/TMGEngine.h"
    #import "GMESDK/QAVAuthBuffer.h"

    Getting singleton

    To use the voice feature, get the ITMGContext object first.
    + (ITMGContext*) GetInstance;

    Sample code

    //TMGSampleViewController.m
    ITMGContext* _context = [ITMGContext GetInstance];

    Setting callbacks

    The API class uses the Delegate method to send callback notifications to the application. Register the callback function to the SDK for receiving callback messages.

    Sample code

    ITMGDelegate is used for declaration.
    @interface TMGDemoViewController ()<ITMGDelegate>{}
    ITMGDelegate < NSObject >
    
    //TMGSampleViewController.m
    ITMGContext* _context = [ITMGContext GetInstance];
    _context.TMGDelegate = [DispatchCenter getInstance];
    The API callback messages is processed in OnEvent. For the message type, see ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE. The message content is a dictionary for parsing the API callback contents.

    API prototype

    - (void)OnEvent:(ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE)eventType data:(NSDictionary*)data;

    Sample code

    //TMGRealTimeViewController.m
    TMGRealTimeViewController ()< ITMGDelegate >
    
    
    - (void)OnEvent:(ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE)eventType data:(NSDictionary *)data {
    NSString *log = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"OnEvent:%d,data:%@", (int)eventType, data];
    [self showLog:log];
    NSLog(@"====%@====", log);
    switch (eventType) {
    // Step 6/11 : Perform the enter room event
    case ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ENTER_ROOM: {
    int result = ((NSNumber *)[data objectForKey:@"result"]).intValue;
    NSString *error_info = [data objectForKey:@"error_info"];
    
    [self showLog:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"OnEnterRoomComplete:%d msg:(%@)", result, error_info]];
    
    if (result == 0) {
    [self updateStatusEnterRoom:YES];
    }
    }
    break;
    }
    }
    
    // Refer to DispatchCenter.h and DispatchCenter.m

    Initializing the SDK

    You need to initialize the SDK through the InitEngine API before you can use the voice chat, voice messaging, and speech-to-text services. The InitEngine API must be called in the same thread as other APIs. We recommend that you call all APIs in the main thread.

    API prototype

    -(int)InitEngine:(NSString*)sdkAppID openID:(NSString*)openID;
    Parameter
    Type
    Description
    sdkAppId
    String
    AppID provided in the GME console, which can be obtained as instructed in Activating Services.
    OpenId
    String
    openID can only be in Int64 type, which is passed in after being converted to a const char*. You can customize its rules, and it must be unique in the application. To pass in openID as a string, submit a ticket for application.

    Returned values

    Returned Value
    Description
    QAV_OK= 0
    The SDK was initialized successfully.
    QAV_ERR_SDK_NOT_FULL_UPDATE= 7015
    Checks whether the SDK file is complete. We recommend that you delete it and then import it again.
    Notes on 7015 error code
    The error code 7015 is identified based on the MD5 value. If this error is reported during integration, check the integrity and version of the SDK file as prompted.
    The returned value AV_ERR_SDK_NOT_FULL_UPDATE is only a reminder but will not cause an initialization failure.
    Due to the third-party enhancement, the Unity packaging mechanism, and other factors, the MD5 value of the library file will be affected, resulting in misjudgment. Therefore, ignore this error in the logic for official releases, and avoid displaying it on the UI.

    Sample code

    _openId = _userIdText.text;
    _appId = _appIdText.text;
    int result = 0;
    // After the user consents to the application's privacy policy, initialize the SDK at an appropriate time based on the application features
    //result = 0: The user consents to the application's privacy policy
    //result = 1: The user does not consent to the application's privacy policy
    // If the user does not consent to the privacy policy, change `ret` to a value other than 0
    if (result == 0) {
    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] InitEngine:SDKAPPID openID:_openId];}
    else{
    log = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"The user does not consent to the application's privacy policy"];
    }

    Triggering event callback

    Event callbacks can be triggered by periodically calling the Poll API in update. Poll is the message pump of GME, and the Poll API should be called periodically for GME to trigger event callbacks; otherwise, the entire SDK service will run exceptionally. Refer to the EnginePollHelper.m file in SDK Download Guide.
    Call the Poll API periodically
    The Poll API must be called periodically and in the main thread to avoid abnormal API callbacks.

    API prototype

    -(void)Poll;

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] Poll];

    Pausing the system

    When a Pause event occurs in the system, the engine should also be notified for pause. If you do not need the background to play back the audio in the room, please call Pause API to pause the GME service.

    API prototype

    -(QAVResult)Pause;

    Resuming the system

    When a Resume event occurs in the system, the engine should also be notified for resumption. The Resume API only supports resuming voice chat.

    API prototype

    -(QAVResult)Resume;

    Uninitializing SDK

    This API is used to uninitialize the SDK. If the game account is bound to openid, switching game account requires uninitializing GME and then using the new openid to initialize again.
    Note:
    If the end user revokes the permission granted to the SDK to process the personal information, you can call the Uninit API to stop using the SDK features and stop collecting and close the user data used by the features.

    API prototype

    -(int)Uninit;

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] Uninit];

    Audio settings for iOS device

    This API is used to set the audio playback in the background, and the GME audio not to be affected by the mute switch or lock screen. For example, when the notification center or control center is opened, you can still receive and play back the GME audio. You need to call this API before room entry. Meanwhile, you should pay attention to the following two points in the application:
    Audio engine capture and playback are not paused when the application is switched to the background (i.e., PauseAudio).
    You need to add at least key:Required background modes and string:App plays audio or streams audio/video using AirPlay to the Info.plist of the application.
    
    Note:
    It is recommended that developers call this API to set the audio.

    Function prototype

    -(QAVResult)SetDefaultAudienceAudioCategory:(ITMG_AUDIO_CATEGORY)audioCategory;
    Type
    Value
    Description
    ITMG_CATEGORY_AMBIENT
    0
    Audio is not played back in the background (default value).
    ITMG_CATEGORY_PLAYBACK
    1
    Audio is played back in the background.
    The specific implementation is to modify kAudioSessionProperty_AudioCategory. For more information, see Apple documentation.

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance]SetDefaultAudienceAudioCategory:ITMG_CATEGORY_AMBIENT];

    Voice Chat Room APIs

    You should initialize and call the SDK to enter a room before voice chat can start. If you have any questions when using the service, see Sound and Audio.
    
    
    
    API
    Description
    GenAuthBuffer
    Calculates the local authentication key.
    EnterRoom
    Enters a room.
    ExitRoom
    Exits a room.
    IsRoomEntered
    Determines whether room entry is successful.
    SwitchRoom
    Switches the room quickly.
    StartRoomSharing
    Cross-room Co-anchoring

    Local authentication key calculation

    Generate AuthBuffer for encryption and authentication of relevant features. For release in the production environment, use the backend deployment key as detailed in Authentication Key.

    API prototype

    @interface QAVAuthBuffer : NSObject
    + (NSData*) GenAuthBuffer:(unsigned int)appId roomId:(NSString*)roomId openID:(NSString*)openID key:(NSString*)key;
    + @end
    Parameter
    Type
    Description
    appId
    unsigned int
    AppId from the Tencent Cloud console
    roomId
    NSString *
    Room ID, which can contain up to 127 characters.
    openID
    NSString *
    User ID, which is the same as openID during initialization.
    key
    NSString *
    Permission key from the Tencent Cloud console.

    Sample code

    #import "GMESDK/QAVAuthBuffer.h"
    NSData* authBuffer = [QAVAuthBuffer GenAuthBuffer:SDKAPPID3RD.intValue roomId:_roomId openID:_openId key:AUTHKEY];

    Entering a room

    This API is used to enter a room with the generated authentication information. The mic and speaker are not enabled by default after room entry.
    Note:
    If the room entry callback result is 0, the room entry is successful. If 0 is returned from the EnterRoom API, it doesn't necessarily mean that the room entry is successful.
    The audio type of the room is determined by the first user to enter the room. After that, if a member in the room changes the room type, it will take effect for all members there. For example, if the first user entering the room uses the smooth sound quality, and the second user entering the room uses the HD sound quality, the room audio type of the second user will become smooth sound quality. Only when a member in the room calls the ChangeRoomType API, the audio type of the room will be changed.

    Function prototype

    -(int)EnterRoom:(NSString*) roomId roomType:(int)roomType authBuffer:(NSData*)authBuffer;
    Parameter
    Type
    Description
    roomId
    NSString *
    Room ID, which can contain up to 127 characters.
    roomType
    int
    Room type. We recommend that you enter ITMG_ROOM_TYPE_FLUENCY. For more information on room audio types, see Sound Quality.
    authBuffer
    NSData *
    Authentication key

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] EnterRoom:_roomId roomType:_roomType authBuffer:authBuffer];

    Callback for room entry

    After the user enters the room, the message ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ENTER_ROOM will be sent and identified in the OnEvent function for callback and processing. A successful callback means that the room entry is successful, and the billing starts.

    Sample code

    Sample code for processing the callback, including room entry and network disconnection events.
    -(void)OnEvent:(ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE)eventType data:(NSDictionary *)data{
    NSLog(@"OnEvent:%lu,data:%@",(unsigned long)eventType,data);
    switch (eventType) {
    case ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ENTER_ROOM:
    {
    int result = ((NSNumber*)[data objectForKey:@"result"]).intValue;
    NSString* error_info = [data objectForKey:@"error_info"];
    //Receive the event of successful room entry
    }
    break;
    }
    }

    Data details

    Message
    Data
    Example
    ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ENTER_ROOM
    result; error_info
    {"error_info":"","result":0}
    ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ROOM_DISCONNECT
    result; error_info
    {"error_info":"waiting timeout, please check your network","result":0}
    If the network is disconnected, there will be a disconnected callback prompt ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE.ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ROOM_DISCONNECT. At this time, the SDK will automatically reconnect, and the callback is ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_RECONNECT_START. When the reconnection is successful, there will be a callback ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_RECONNECT_SUCCESS.

    Error codes

    Error Code
    Cause and Suggested Solution
    7006
    Authentication failed. Causes:
    AppID doesn't exist or is incorrect.
    An error occurred while authenticating authbuff.
    Authentication expired.
    OpenId is invalid.
    7007
    The user was already in another room.
    1001
    The user was already in the process of entering a room but repeated this operation. We recommend that you not call the room entry API until the room entry callback is returned.
    1003
    The user was already in the room and called the room entry API again.
    1101
    Make sure that the SDK is initialized, OpenId complies with the rules, the APIs are called in the same thread, and the Poll API is called normally.

    Exiting a room

    This API is used to exit the current room. It is an async API. The returned value AV_OK indicates a successful async delivery. If there is a scenario in the application where room entry is performed immediately after room exit, you don't need to wait for the RoomExitComplete callback notification from the ExitRoom API; instead, you can directly call the EnterRoom API.

    API prototype

    -(int)ExitRoom

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] ExitRoom];

    Callback for room exit

    After the user exits a room, a callback will be returned with the message being ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_EXIT_ROOM.

    Sample code

    -(void)OnEvent:(ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE)eventType data:(NSDictionary *)data{
    NSLog(@"OnEvent:%lu,data:%@",(unsigned long)eventType,data);
    switch (eventType) {
    case ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_EXIT_ROOM:
    {
    // Receive the event of successful room exit
    }
    break;
    }
    }

    Data details

    Message
    Data
    Example
    ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_EXIT_ROOM
    result; error_info
    {"error_info":"","result":0}

    Determining whether user has entered room

    This API is used to determine whether the user has entered a room. A value in bool type will be returned. Do not call this API during room entry.

    API prototype

    -(BOOL)IsRoomEntered;

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] IsRoomEntered];

    Switching room

    User can call this API to quickly switch the voice chat room after entering the room. After the room is switched, the device is not reset, that is, if the microphone is already enabled in this room, the microphone will keep enabled after the room is switched. The callback for quickly switching rooms is ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE.ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_SWITCH_ROOM, and the fields are error_info and result.

    API prototype

    -(int) SwitchRoom:(NSString *)roomID authBuffer:(NSData*)authBuffer;

    Type descriptions

    Parameter
    Type
    Description
    targetRoomID
    NSString *
    ID of the room to enter
    authBuffer
    NSData*
    Generates a new authentication key with the ID of the room to enter

    Callback sample code

    - (IBAction)swichRoom:(id)sender {
    NSData* authBuffer = [QAVAuthBuffer GenAuthBuffer:_appId.intValue roomID:_roomIdText.text openID:_openId key:_key];
    [[[ITMGContext GetInstance]GetRoom]SwitchRoom:_roomIdText.text authBuffer:authBuffer];
    }
    
    -(void)OnEvent:(ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE)eventType data:(NSDictionary *)data{
    NSString* log =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"OnEvent:%d,data:%@", (int)eventType, data];
    [self showLog:log];
    NSLog(@"====%@====",log);
    switch (eventType) {
    case ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_SWITCH_ROOM:
    {
    int result = ((NSNumber*)[data objectForKey:@"result"]).intValue;
    NSString* log = nil;
    if (result == QAV_OK) {
    log = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"switch room success."];
    } else {
    log = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"switch room failed."];
    }
    [self showLog:log];
    break;
    }
    }
    }

    Cross-room mic connection

    Call this API to connect the microphones across rooms after the room entry. After the call, the local user can communicate with the target OpenID user in the target room. The target room should be of the same type as the local room.

    Example

    User a is in room A, user b is in room B, and user a can talk with b through the cross-room API. When user c in room A speaks, users b and d in room B cannot hear. User c in room A can hear only the voice in room A and the voice of user b in room B but not other users in room B.

    API prototype

    -(int) StartRoomSharing:(NSString *)targetRoomID targetOpenID:(NSString *)targetOpenID authBuffer:(NSData*)authBuffer;
    
    -(int) StopRoomSharing;

    authBuffer
    NSData*
    Reserved flag. You just need to enter NULL.

    Sample code

    - (IBAction)shareRoom:(id)sender {
    if(_shareRoomSwitch.isOn){
    [[[ITMGContext GetInstance]GetRoom]StartRoomSharing:_shareRoomID.text targetOpenID:_shareOpenID.text authBuffer:NULL];
    }else{
    [[[ITMGContext GetInstance]GetRoom]StopRoomSharing];
    }
    }

    Room Status Maintenance

    APIs in this section are used to display speaking members and members entering or exiting the room and mute a member in the room at the business layer.
    
    API/Notification
    Description
    ITMG_MAIN_EVNET_TYPE_USER_UPDATE
    The member status changed.
    AddAudioBlackList
    Mutes a member in the room.
    RemoveAudioBlackList
    Unmutes a member.

    Notifications of member room entry and speaking status

    This API is used to obtain the user speaking in the room and display it in the UI, and to send a notification when someone entering or exiting the room. Notification for this event will be sent only when the status changes. To get member status in real time, cache the notification when it is received at a higher layer. The event message is ITMG_MAIN_EVNET_TYPE_USER_UPDATE, where the data contains event_id and user_list. The event message will be identified in the OnEvent function. Notifications for audio events are subject to a threshold, and a notification will be sent only when this threshold is exceeded. The notification "A member has stopped sending audio packets" will be sent if no audio packets are received in more than two seconds.
    event_id
    Description
    Maintenance
    ITMG_EVENT_ID_USER_ENTER
    Return the openid of the member entering the room.
    Member list
    ITMG_EVENT_ID_USER_EXIT
    Return the openid of the member exiting the room.
    Member list
    ITMG_EVENT_ID_USER_HAS_AUDIO
    Return the openid of the member sending audio packets in the room. This event can be used to determine whether a user is speaking and display the voiceprint effect.
    Chat member list
    ITMG_EVENT_ID_USER_NO_AUDIO
    Return the openid of the member stopping sending audio packets in the room.
    Chat member list

    Sample code

    -(void)OnEvent:(ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE)eventType data:(NSDictionary *)data{
    ITMG_EVENT_ID_USER_UPDATE event_id=((NSNumber*)[data objectForKey:@"event_id"]).intValue;
    NSMutableArray* uses = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray: [data objectForKey:@"user_list"]];
    NSLog(@"OnEvent:%lu,data:%@",(unsigned long)eventType,data);
    switch (eventType) {
    case ITMG_MAIN_EVNET_TYPE_USER_UPDATE:
    {
    // Process
    //Parse the parameter to get `event_id` and `user_list`
    switch (eventID)
    {
    case ITMG_EVENT_ID_USER_ENTER:
    // A member enters the room
    break;
    case ITMG_EVENT_ID_USER_EXIT:

    Muting a member in the room

    This API is used to add an ID to the audio data blocklist. This operation blocks audio from someone and only applies to the local device without affecting other devices. The returned value 0 indicates that the call is successful. Assume that users A, B, and C are all speaking using their mic in a room:
    If A blocks C, A can only hear B.
    If B blocks neither A nor C, B can hear both of them.
    If C blocks neither A nor B, C can hear both of them.
    This API is suitable for scenarios where a user is muted in a room.

    API prototype

    ITMGContext GetAudioCtrl -(QAVResult)AddAudioBlackList:(NSString*)openID;
    Parameter
    Type
    Description
    openId
    NSString
    openid of the user to be blocked

    Sample code

    [[[ITMGContext GetInstance]GetAudioCtrl ] AddAudioBlackList[id]];

    Unmuting

    This API is used to remove an ID from the audio data blacklist. A returned value of 0 indicates the call is successful.

    API prototype

    -(QAVResult)RemoveAudioBlackList:(NSString*)openID;
    Parameter
    Type
    Description
    openId
    NSString
    User openid to be unblocked

    Sample code

    [[[ITMGContext GetInstance]GetAudioCtrl ] RemoveAudioBlackList[openId]];

    Voice Chat Capturing APIs

    The voice chat APIs can only be called after SDK initialization and room entry.
    When the user clicks the button of enabling/disabling the mic or speaker on the UI, we recommend that you call the EnableMic or EnableSpeaker API.
    When the user enters a voice chat room, enabling/disabling a capturing device will restart both capturing and playback devices. If the application is playing back background music, it will also be interrupted. Playback won't be interrupted if the mic is enabled/disabled through control of upstreaming/downstreaming. Calling method: Call EnableAudioCaptureDevice(true) and EnableAudioPlayDevice(true) once after room entry, and call EnableAudioSend/Recv to send/receive audio streams when Enable/Disable Mic is clicked.
    API
    Description
    EnableMic
    Enables/Disables the mic.
    GetMicState
    Gets the mic status.
    EnableAudioCaptureDevice
    Enables/Disables the capturing device.
    IsAudioCaptureDeviceEnabled
    Gets the capturing device status.
    EnableAudioSend
    Enables/Disables audio upstreaming.
    IsAudioSendEnabled
    Gets the audio upstreaming status.
    GetMicLevel
    Gets the real-time mic volume level.
    GetSendStreamLevel
    Gets the real-time audio upstreaming volume level.
    SetMicVolume
    Sets the mic volume level.
    GetMicVolume
    Gets the mic volume level.

    Enabling or disabling mic

    This API is used to enable/disable the mic. The mic and speaker are not enabled by default after room entry. EnableMic is equivalent to using EnableAudioCaptureDevice and EnableAudioSend together. If accompaniment is used, call this API as instructed in Accompaniment in Voice Chat.

    API prototype

    -(QAVResult)EnableMic:(BOOL)enable;
    Parameter
    Type
    Description
    enable
    boolean
    To enable the mic, set this parameter to YES.
