Glowbeam SDK

Version 0.1.4, released 2026-11-04

The SDK runs on the device GPU and works only with a licence key. Each key is issued for your app id and signing certificate, so you need one before the SDK does anything in your app. Ask for a trial licence, or sign in to see the keys you already have.

Download

Android builds resolve from the Maven repository below, so you only need the files here for iOS, React Native and macOS. Check each file against its SHA-256 before you ship it.

Install

Android

Android 8.0 (API 26) or newer, 64-bit (arm64-v8a or x86_64). The library uses fbjni 0.7.0.

Add the Glowbeam Maven repository.

settings.gradle.kts

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url = uri("https://glowbeam.devx.ro/maven")
            content { includeGroup("ai.glowbeam") }
        }
    }
}

Add the dependency.

app/build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
    implementation("ai.glowbeam:glowbeam-android:0.1.4")
}

iOS

iOS 15 or newer. The XCFramework holds device and Apple Silicon simulator slices.

With CocoaPods, use the hosted podspec.

Podfile

platform :ios, '15.0'

target 'YourApp' do
  pod 'Glowbeam', :podspec => 'https://glowbeam.devx.ro/downloads/0.1.4/Glowbeam.podspec'
end

With Swift Package Manager, add a binary target to your package.

Package.swift

.binaryTarget(
    name: "Glowbeam",
    url: "https://glowbeam.devx.ro/downloads/0.1.4/Glowbeam-0.1.4.xcframework.zip",
    checksum: "f11fb81c6907cbd14c238b3e22cecf36b793da510e08038a9c6c58b7f9271d56"
)

React Native

React Native 0.77 or newer on the New Architecture, with @livekit/react-native-webrtc 137 for the camera track.

Install the package.

Terminal

npm install https://glowbeam.devx.ro/downloads/0.1.4/react-native-glowbeam-0.1.4.tgz

Add the Glowbeam Maven repository to the Android project.

android/settings.gradle

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url = uri("https://glowbeam.devx.ro/maven")
            content { includeGroup("ai.glowbeam") }
        }
    }
}

Add the Glowbeam pod to the iOS project.

ios/Podfile

platform :ios, '15.0'

target 'YourApp' do
  pod 'Glowbeam', :podspec => 'https://glowbeam.devx.ro/downloads/0.1.4/Glowbeam.podspec'
end

macOS desktop

Apple Silicon. The archive holds the static library, the headers and a README with the build settings.

Check the download before you use it.

Terminal

shasum -a 256 glowbeam-desktop-macos-arm64-0.1.4.zip

Then add your licence

Configure the SDK with your licence key, the server URL https://glowbeam.devx.ro and the two certificate pins from your console. A production build accepts only live keys; use a test key while you develop. Without a valid licence the camera image passes through unchanged.

What the download contains

Compiled, stripped native libraries. The engine source code is not part of any download, and production builds trust only licences signed by our server.
The effect artwork is encrypted. It can only be opened with a key that arrives inside a valid licence for your app.
The React Native package contains the bridge code that React Native compiles in your app.
