Twilio Titanium

This repository contains a Titanium Mobile application and supporting material to power an iPad-based virtual receptionist. Using a native Titanium module exposing Twilio Client for iOS, we can connect a voice call from an iPad to any phone in the world. Sick.

Get Started with Titanium

Get Started with Twilio

Let's explore what's in the box for this demo:

Client Module

This is the native iOS module which wraps the Twilio CLient SDK for iOS. It was built using Titanium Mobile 3.1.1.GA. It exposes an incomplete implementation of the Twilio Client JS SDK.

ReceptionistApp

This is a Titanium Mobile JavaScript application which actually runs on the iPad. It was built and tested with the titanium node module, which is the new CLI for Titanium applications. Install node.js, then run:

    [sudo] npm install -g titanium

To run this app from the terminal, navigate to this directory and run:

    titanium build -p ios -F ipad -I 6.1

ReceptionistNode

This is a node.js application which is responsible for generating our app's TwiML and capability tokens. This app assumes that your Twilio Account SID and auth token are exposed as environment variables TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID and TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN respectively.

If you were to run this app on Heroku, you could add these variables like so

    heroku config:add TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=put your SID here
    heroku config:add TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=put your auth token here

Whereever you deploy this application, change the URL in your Titanium code in ../ReceptionistApp/Resources/services/TwilioService.js to match.

Module Support

At this point, this is not an official Twilio-sancitoned library - it's a hack I put together as a proof of concept. If you're interested in taking it further, feel free to shoot me a mail at kwhinnery at twilio dot com.
