Upsert Case

upsert-case — APIExample-OC

When to Use

• Add: the feature has no existing case in Examples/Basic/ or Examples/Advanced/
• Modify: the case already exists — skip Steps 1–3, go directly to Step 4+

Before adding, search the Case Index in ARCHITECTURE.md to confirm the case does not already exist.

Files to Touch

Step 1 — Create the Example Folder

APIExample-OC/Examples/[Basic|Advanced]/<ExampleName>/

Step 2 — Create the Header File

Create <ExampleName>.h:

#import "BaseViewController.h"

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN

@interface <ExampleName>Entry : UIViewController
@end

@interface <ExampleName>Main : BaseViewController
@end

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END

Step 3 — Create the Implementation File

Create <ExampleName>.m:

#import "<ExampleName>.h"
#import <AgoraRtcKit/AgoraRtcKit.h>
#import "KeyCenter.h"
#import "NetworkManager.h"

@interface <ExampleName>Entry ()
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *channelTextField;
@end

@implementation <ExampleName>Entry
- (IBAction)onJoinPressed:(UIButton *)sender {
    NSString *channelName = self.channelTextField.text;
    if (channelName.length == 0) return;
    UIStoryboard *sb = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"<ExampleName>" bundle:nil];
    <ExampleName>Main *mainVC = [sb instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"<ExampleName>"];
    mainVC.configs = @{@"channelName": channelName};
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:mainVC animated:YES];
}
@end

@interface <ExampleName>Main () <AgoraRtcEngineDelegate>
@property (nonatomic, strong) AgoraRtcEngineKit *agoraKit;
@end

@implementation <ExampleName>Main
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSString *channelName = self.configs[@"channelName"];
    AgoraRtcEngineConfig *config = [AgoraRtcEngineConfig new];
    config.appId = [KeyCenter AppId];
    self.agoraKit = [AgoraRtcEngineKit sharedEngineWithConfig:config delegate:self];
    // configure engine, request permissions, then join
    [[NetworkManager shared] generateTokenWithChannelName:channelName success:^(NSString *token) {
        AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions *option = [AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions new];
        [self.agoraKit joinChannelByToken:token channelId:channelName
                                      uid:0 mediaOptions:option joinSuccess:nil];
    }];
}

- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidDisappear:animated];
    if (self.isMovingFromParentViewController) {
        [self.agoraKit leaveChannel:nil];
        [AgoraRtcEngineKit destroy];
    }
}
@end

@implementation <ExampleName>Main (AgoraRtcEngineDelegate)
- (void)rtcEngine:(AgoraRtcEngineKit *)engine didJoinChannel:(NSString *)channel
            withUid:(NSUInteger)uid elapsed:(NSInteger)elapsed {
    NSLog(@"Joined: %@ uid: %lu", channel, (unsigned long)uid);
}
- (void)rtcEngine:(AgoraRtcEngineKit *)engine didOccurError:(AgoraErrorCode)errorCode {
    NSLog(@"Error: %ld", (long)errorCode);
}
@end

Step 4 — Create the Storyboard

Create APIExample-OC/<ExampleName>.storyboard with two scenes:

Step 5 — Register the MenuItem

Add to +[MenuSection menus] in ViewController.m:

[[MenuItem alloc] initWithName:NSLocalizedString(@"<Display Name>", nil)
                    storyboard:@"<ExampleName>"
                    controller:@""]

Step 6 — Update the Case Index

Add a row to the ## Case Index table in ARCHITECTURE.md:

| <ExampleName> | `Examples/[Basic|Advanced]/<ExampleName>/<ExampleName>.m` | `keyApi1:`, `keyApi2:` | One-line description |

Verification Checklist

• Folder created under correct category (Basic / Advanced)
• Both .h and .m files created with Entry and Main classes
• Main inherits BaseViewController and conforms to AgoraRtcEngineDelegate
• Storyboard has correct scene IDs
• MenuItem added to ViewController.m
• leaveChannel: + [AgoraRtcEngineKit destroy] called when leaving
• UI updates inside delegate callbacks dispatched via dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ })
• __weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self used in blocks that capture self
• Camera/microphone permissions requested before joinChannelByToken:
• Case Index row added/updated in ARCHITECTURE.md
• Project builds without errors

NEVER

• NEVER create AgoraRtcEngineKit in the Entry VC
• NEVER use __unsafe_unretained for delegate references — use __weak
• NEVER update UI directly inside AgoraRtcEngineDelegate callbacks — always dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ })
• NEVER add a new scene to Main.storyboard — each case must have its own .storyboard file
• NEVER share an AgoraRtcEngineKit instance between cases
• NEVER call joinChannelByToken: before requesting camera/microphone permissions
• NEVER skip updating the Case Index in ARCHITECTURE.md
