Buzz It | iOS Universal Public Audio Chat App (Swift)

Introduction

Buzz It is a popular iOS universal public audio chat app that allows users to connect with others in real-time through voice chat. With Buzz It, you can join public chat rooms and engage in conversations with others who share similar interests or hobbies. As a developer, you can use the Buzz It API to integrate public audio chat functionality into your own app. In this tutorial, we will explore how to use the Buzz It API in an iOS app written in Swift.

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, make sure you have the following:

• Xcode installed on your Mac
• Swift programming language knowledge
• A basic understanding of iOS app development
• A Buzz It API key (you can obtain one by signing up for a developer account on the Buzz It website)

Step 1: Create a New iOS Project

Open Xcode and create a new iOS project. Choose the "Single View App" template and name your project (e.g., "BuzzItTutorial").

Step 2: Add the Buzz It SDK

In your project navigator, click on the "General" tab and add the Buzz It SDK framework to your project. You can download the SDK from the Buzz It website.

Step 3: Import the Buzz It SDK

In your Swift file, import the Buzz It SDK using the following code:

import BuzzIt

Step 4: Initialize the Buzz It SDK

Initialize the Buzz It SDK by calling the BuzzIt.initialize() method:

BuzzIt.initialize(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")

Replace "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" with your actual Buzz It API key.

Step 5: Join a Public Chat Room

To join a public chat room, call the BuzzIt.joinRoom() method and pass in the room ID:

let roomID = "PUBLIC_ROOM_ID_HERE"
BuzzIt.joinRoom(roomID: roomID, completionHandler: { (error) in
    if let error = error {
        print("Error joining room: (error.localizedDescription)")
    } else {
        print("Joined room successfully!")
    }
})

Replace "PUBLIC_ROOM_ID_HERE" with the ID of the public chat room you want to join.

Step 6: Start Listening for Audio

To start listening for audio in the chat room, call the BuzzIt.startListening() method:

BuzzIt.startListening(completionHandler: { (audio) in
    print("Received audio: (audio)")
})

This method will call the completion handler with an Audio object whenever new audio is received in the chat room.

Step 7: Send Audio

To send audio to the chat room, call the BuzzIt.sendAudio() method and pass in an Audio object:

let audio = Audio(data: "YOUR_AUDIO_DATA_HERE", duration: 10.0)
BuzzIt.sendAudio(audio: audio, completionHandler: { (error) in
    if let error = error {
        print("Error sending audio: (error.localizedDescription)")
    } else {
        print("Sent audio successfully!")
    }
})

Replace "YOUR_AUDIO_DATA_HERE" with the audio data you want to send.

Step 8: Stop Listening for Audio

To stop listening for audio, call the BuzzIt.stopListening() method:

BuzzIt.stopListening()

This method will stop receiving new audio updates in the chat room.

Conclusion

That's it! You have now successfully integrated the Buzz It API into your iOS app using Swift. You can use the BuzzIt class to join public chat rooms, start listening for audio, send audio, and stop listening for audio. With this tutorial, you should be able to create a basic public audio chat app using the Buzz It API.
