4. Open the DailyStarterKit.xcodeproj in Xcode.
5. Choose your team in the "Signing & Capabilities" section for the DailyStarterKit target

note: Many views have SwiftUI previews set up that you can experiment with.

Architecture & Design

The diagram below is a simplified view of the structure of the app. The CallContainerView is a full screen view that contains all other views. The CallManager interacts with the Daily CallClient, and its primary responsibility is transforming the state from the CallClient to the state needed to render the UI.

Loading

The views in the diagram above also have a model object that is responsible for delegating user actions to the CallManager and reducing any state from the CallManager to only what is needed to render the UI in its owning view.
