CTCallCenter is deprecated. What is the alternative?

I am using CTCallCenter in my project. Now it's deprecated, I would like to know what are alternatives? How to get the event for the voice call?

Solution

  • This is poorly documented, but I've found this mention in CTCallCenter public header files:

    "Replaced by <CallKit/CXCallObserver.h>"

    So, from iOS 10 you should use CXCallObserver class of new CallKit framework to retrieve info about active calls:

    CXCallObserver *callObserver = [[CXCallObserver alloc] init];

    Provide object, conforming to CXCallObserverDelegate protocol and queue, on which you want to perform delegate callbacks:

    // If queue is nil, then callbacks will be performed on main queue
[callObserver setDelegate:self queue:nil];
// Don't forget to store reference to callObserver, to prevent it from being released
self.callObserver = callObserver;

    and implement the following method on your delegate object:

    - (void)callObserver:(CXCallObserver *)callObserver callChanged:(CXCall *)call {
    if (call.hasConnected) {
        // perform necessary actions
    }
}
