To enjoy the powerful benefits of Zoiper SDK 2.0, you need a license. Depending on your needs, you can buy 2 different types of licenses:

  • Installation license per end-user
  • Unlimited installations;

Please contact Zoiper for more details and test licenses or to receive licenses for testing purposes.

Threading model

Zoiper SDK 2.0 is thread-safe. Shared objects can be called simultaneously from multiple threads. All callbacks from the SDK modules to the application code are performed in the context of the application thread which invokes the respective functions and methods.

In order to receive callbacks, the SDK needs to receive processing time from your application core. You can achieve this by invoking the respective functions.

On Android, iOS, and macOS, the main UI thread usually handles the assignment of processing time to the SDK.

Regarding sockets and transports, the SDK manages and utilizes the threads internally. For the interaction with sockets and transports, the SDK also internally manages and utilizes its own separate thread. As a result, the application code can use the processing time without blocking the SDK sockets.

  • methods
  • functions
