Start a .NET MAUI Project

Create a new .NET MAUI solution (.NET 9.0+) in Visual Studio, and add the following references using the NuGet packet manager:

  • FM.LiveSwitch
  • FM.LiveSwitch.Opus
  • FM.LiveSwitch.Vpx
  • FM.LiveSwitch.Yuv

Android

If you are creating an Android project, also add the following references:

  • FM.LiveSwitch.Android
  • FM.LiveSwitch.AudioProcessing (if you want echo cancellation support)

The following permissions will be required which can be configured through the Project configuration in Visual Studio or by modifying the AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />

iOS

If you are creating an iOS project, also add the following reference:

  • FM.LiveSwitch.Cocoa

You will also need to add the following configuration for iOS projects:

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|net9.0-ios|AnyCPU'">
   <AdditionalArgs>-optimize=-remove-dynamic-registrar</AdditionalArgs>
</PropertyGroup>

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Release|net9.0-ios|AnyCPU'">
   <AdditionalArgs>-optimize=-remove-dynamic-registrar</AdditionalArgs>
</PropertyGroup>

Camera and Microphone permissions require the following settings which can be configured through the Project configuration in Visual Studio or by modifying the Info.plist file:

<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>...</string>
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>...</string>
Note

You can build both Android and iOS applications using the same project. Most of the APIs are shared between the two platforms.
