CocoaPods Installation

Important

CocoaPods support is deprecated. The main CocoaPods trunk repo as well as LiveKit podspecs repo will become read-only and stop receiving updates starting in 2027. It is strongly recommended to migrate to Swift Package Manager to ensure access to the latest features and security updates.

To install LiveKit using CocoaPods, add the LiveKit podspec source to your Podfile in addition to adding the pod:

source "https://cdn.cocoapods.org/"
source "https://github.com/livekit/podspecs.git" # <-

platform :ios, "18.0"

target "YourApp" do
    pod "LiveKitClient", "~> 2.2.0"

    # Other dependencies...
end

The LiveKit source is necessary as some of this library's dependencies no longer officially support Cocoapods; the LiveKit source defines podspecs for such dependencies.

Platform support

Currently, only iOS and macOS are supported through Cocoapods. To use LiveKit in a tvOS or visionOS app, please install using SPM.
