I am trying to use the CallKit in my VoIP App to show the call history in UI iOS.
But I can not find any tutorial to how use CallKit and write code in VoIP App.
If you are trying to make a VoIP app which uses CallKit I recommend starting by reviewing Apple's sample code app, Speakerbox, which demonstrates using CallKit.
There is no API for an app to query or read from the device's Recents list (aka call history records). But if an app uses CallKit, its calls will be included in the Recents list.

I am new to ios development. I am trying to build a voip app and I was wondering, is callkit all I need? or I need to integrate it with an already built voip app, using for example WebRTC?
As you might have guessed, CallKit alone is not sufficient.
CallKit only provides the system-calling UI, and you need to develop the backend system for yourself. (Of course, you can use Web RTC instead of VoIP.)
Use CallKit to integrate your calling services with other call-related apps on the system. CallKit provides the calling interface, and you handle the back-end communication with your VoIP service.

I designed an application screen for incoming and outgoing calls, so now the issue is that I want to show my screens on while I get an incoming and outgoing call on the device so how can I do that.is that's possible so tell me how?
This is not possible.
You can not replace core features of iOS with your own app.
As MadProgrammer stated in his comment, CallKit allows you to use iOS call screen in your app. Not the other way around.
CallKit : Display the system-calling UI for your app's VoIP services, and coordinate your calling services with other apps and the system.
If you are using CallKit, its impossible so far to customize it or replace it.
You can do it, if your App has its own feature of Calling, say Many apps has WebRTC solutions or other VoIP Solutions.
I'm new in IOS. I'm working on a Video Call project in swift. i'm using vidyo.io SDK for video Call and message chat. But I have some questions
If my app is in kill state or my phone is locked. how can I receive call Notification.
Some SDK's have VoIP support for Call notification in locked State. vidyo.io have support for VoIP? If yes how can I implement.
vidyo.io Documentation have some methods for use camera, microphone, Customize UI etc can we implement all these methods in swift?
if any one have good tutorials or helping materials please share.
You can find a Vidyo.io sample app built with Swift here: https://github.com/Vidyo/customview-swift-ios
Vidyo.io is a CPaaS focused on video chat. You can use the service for voice only, but you probably have better options if that is what you want to achieve.
In sinch for IOS, the SinchCallKit example project can be used to create an audio call between two clients using callkit.
I have been trying to implement video calling in this project by changing it based on the docs
But I could use some pointers from a sinch veteran on wether I should:
modify the callkit example to include video calling,
modify the video calling example to include callkit.
And if it is even possible to combine callkit with video calling in sinch?
No, you must open your own video call screen for calling. callkit not sink with sinch video call.
WhatsApp also open own app screen for call.
1.is it feasible or possible to open/launch ios app and open a specific screen on a specific incoming call using core telephony.Something where i can register my app as observer of incoming call event.
2.if my app is already launched, is there any delegate or notification of core telephony so that i can handle it and open a specific screen.
3.can above requirement filled using notification, as i can think notification will no be able to fulfil this requirement as there may more than one apps having notification, then how ios will decide to open which ios app.
if it's not feasible then what would be alternative or creative idea close to achieve this(open an ios app specific view on incoming call/message/notification centre) behaviour.
thanks
It is not possible to achieve any of the above 3 points. According to HIG, you can not do it. Also apple has not published any of the API to do same. Its not possible with public APIs.
