Development Setup

iOS and Android do not support WebRTC natively, we we use the plugins cordova-plugin-iosrtc for iOS, and cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview for Android.

---

Install packages

All of the node packages and cordova plugins will be installed. Please make sure you are running a newer version of Ionic CLI, as this package requires Ionic 3.0. You can check this by running ionic info in the terminal. Once you are sure you have the right versions, enter the below into terminal.

npm install

You should now have what you need to develop locally using the ionic serve command.
