React Native Voicebot UI Kit — Release Notes

Version history for enx-voice-bot-react-native, the official voice bot calling client for React Native. Releases are shown in reverse chronological order — latest first.

v1.0.0 — August 10, 2026

Initial Release

First general-availability release of the React Native SDK, ported from the existing EnableX Flutter voice bot SDK to keep call-control and audio behavior consistent across platforms.
Package: enx-voice-bot-react-native

Highlights

Outbound voice bot calling via a single REST call (POST /v2token) that returns a voice session ID and a WebSocket URL.
Real-time, full-duplex audio streaming over WebSocket using Pipecat protobuf frames (16 kHz mono microphone upload, bot audio playback).
Native audio bridge for Android and iOS handling low-latency microphone capture and speaker playback.
Automatic microphone permission request/verification using react-native-permissions before a call starts.
Mute / unmute microphone during an active call.
DTMF digit sending for calls where the bot indicates a keypad is available.
Speaking-state callbacks so the host app can show “user speaking” / “bot speaking” indicators.
Selectable QA and Production environments (EnxSdkConfig), or a fully custom environment via EnxSdkConfig.fromEnvironment().
A runnable ExampleApp demonstrating connect, disconnect, mute, and live event logging.

Fixes Included in This Release

The following issues found during iOS/Android bring-up were resolved prior to this release:

Fixed an Android issue where call audio was not reliably routed to the device speaker (audio routing / AudioManager communication-device handling).
Fixed iOS build and native-module integration issues encountered when installing the SDK into a host application.
Corrected the iOS CocoaPods podspec/Pod file configuration so pod install completes cleanly in host apps.

Known Issues and Limitations

Outbound calls only — the SDK initiates calls to a virtual number; there is no inbound call handling.
One active call per EnxVoiceClient instance; create a new instance (or fully disconnect) before starting another call.
No automated test suite is published with this release (npm test is a placeholder).
DTMF sending requires the bot session to report keypad support; otherwise sendDtmf() returns false.
Verbose debug logging is enabled by default under the QA configuration; use EnxSdkConfig.production or set enableLogging: false for release builds.

Compatibility

Requirement	Supported version
React	>= 18.0.0
React Native	>= 0.71.0 (validated with the bundled ExampleApp on 0.73.0)
iOS deployment target	15.0 or later
Android	Standard React Native 0.71+ Android toolchain; Gradle autolinking
Node.js	>= 18 (for building/running the ExampleApp)

Required Plug-ins

These packages are installed automatically as dependencies of enx-voice-bot-react-native. No manual installation is required beyond npm install (and pod install on iOS).

Package	Type	Purpose
`react-native-permissions`	Runtime dependency	Requests and checks the microphone permission before a call starts.
`react-native-live-audio-stream`	Runtime dependency	Captures raw PCM microphone audio for streaming to the bot.
`protobufjs`	Runtime dependency	Encodes/decodes Pipecat protobuf audio and control frames sent over the WebSocket.
`eventemitter3`	Runtime dependency	Lightweight event emitter used internally for native/WebSocket event plumbing.
`react`, `react-native`	Peer dependency	Host application's React and React Native runtime.

Required Permissions

The SDK requests the microphone permission at runtime and requires the following platform declarations in the host application. See the Developer Guide for the exact manifest and Info.plist entries.

Platform	Permission	Reason
Android	`android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO`	Capture microphone audio to send to the voice bot.
Android	`android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS`	Route call audio to the speaker/earpiece via `AudioManager`.
Android	`android.permission.INTERNET`	REST and WebSocket connectivity to the EnableX voice service.
iOS	`NSMicrophoneUsageDescription`	Required Info.plist usage-description string shown when requesting microphone access.

Upgrade Notes

This is the first published version; there are no breaking changes to migrate from.
When upgrading in the future, re-run pod install in the iOS project after bumping the package version, since native iOS sources ship inside the pod.
Review EnxSdkConfig usage before release builds — use EnxSdkConfig.production (or fromEnvironment with enableLogging: false) to disable verbose SDK logging.
