How do I set custom parameters for Twilio TVOCallInvite on iOS?

Question

I'm trying to pass custom parameters in call invite structure but don't receive them on the recipient side.

let connectOptions: TVOConnectOptions = TVOConnectOptions(accessToken: token) { (builder) in
    builder.params = ["To": "Recipeint Id",
                      "From": "Caller name"]
    builder.uuid = uuid
}

self.call = TwilioVoice.connect(with: connectOptions, delegate: self)

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Gave up actually with this idea... Followed this instruction so that the app reports a call to CallKit and then updates the caller name after that.

You need to add logic in backend or you can say server code for the same.

Link for server code in node https://github.com/twilio/voice-quickstart-server-node

need to modify below function

function makeCall(request, response) {

  // The recipient of the call, a phone number or a client

  var to = null;

  if (request.method == 'POST') {

    to = request.body.to;
    callerId = request.body.from; //--> new added line for caller name
  } else {

    to = request.query.to;
    callerId = request.body.from; //--> new added line for caller name
  }




  const voiceResponse = new VoiceResponse();




  if (!to) {

      voiceResponse.say("Congratulations! You have made your first call! Good bye.");

  } else if (isNumber(to)) {

      const dial = voiceResponse.dial({callerId : callerNumber});

      dial.number(to);

  } else {

      const dial = voiceResponse.dial({callerId : callerId});

      dial.client(to);

  }

  console.log('Response:' + voiceResponse.toString());

  return response.send(voiceResponse.toString());

}

also need make var instead of const for callerId variable , and If you are passing caller name then node code format should save value in this format

'client:callername'

i.e. client: and after that value which is being passed from iOS app
