The data channel is now used to directly access the file system in order to quickly send data natively without first having to convert it to base64 using the native bridge. I consider this to be a bit of a dirty hack, but it works for our use case. Feel free to use this version of WebRTC if this use case fits your project as well.
Furthermore it does have a proper implementation of the buffer outrun events that was lacking in the original repository. I should probably make a pull request of this..
A WebRTC module for React Native.

Windows - We don't currently support the react-native-windows platform at this time.
Anyone interested in getting the ball rolling? We're open to contributions.
Web - The react-native-webrtc-web-shim project provides a shim for react-native-web support.
Which will allow you to use (almost) the exact same code in your react-native-web project as you would with react-native directly.
Expo - Sadly this module is not available in the Expo Go app by default due to including much needed native code. However you can get things working via the expo-dev-client library and out-of-tree config-plugins/react-native-webrtc package.
Unified Plan - As of version 106.0.0 Unified Plan is the only supported mode. Those still in need of Plan B can use and old release.
- Currently used revision: M106
- Supported architectures
- Android: armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86_64
- iOS: arm64, x86_64
- macOS: (temporarily disabled)
Use one of the following preferred package install methods to immediately get going.
Don't forget to follow platform guides below to cover any extra required steps.
npm: npm install react-native-webrtc --save
yarn: yarn add react-native-webrtc
We have some very basic example projects included in the examples directory.
Don't worry, there are plans to include a much more broader example with backend included.
