Lib-jitsi-meet uses jQuery's .append method to manipulate Jingle. The
method in question invokes the getter and setter of Element.innerHTML.
Unfortunately, xmldom which we use in React Native to polyfill DOM does
not polyfill Element.innerHTML. So polyfill it ourselves.
Turns out React Native's timers (setTimeout / setInterval) don't run while the
app is in the background: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/167
This patch replaces the global timer functions with those from the
react-native-background-timer package, which work in the background.
These timers won't magically make an application work in the background, but
they will run if an application already happens to run in the background. That's
our case while in a conference, so these timers will run, allowing XMPP pings to
be sent and the conference to stay up as long as the user desires.
- Use 1 name for 1 abstraction. Instead of useFullScreen and enabled use
fullScreen.
- Comments are correct English sentences so no double spaces between
senteces, no capitalization of the work On midsentence.
- Write as little source code as possible if readability is preserved.
- Utilize Facebook's Flow.
- The name of a private function must start with _ and the jsdoc should
state that the function is private.
The implementation varies across platforms, with the same goal: allow the app to
use the entire screen real state while in a conference.
On Android we use immersive mode, which will hide the status and navigation bars.

On iOS the status bar is hidden, with a slide effect.
The desired behavior of the button 'Start a conference' / 'Join the
conversation' is to launch the mobile app if installed; otherwise, do
nothing i.e. continue to display UnsupportedMobileBrowser.
Anyway, we may change our minds about allowing the user to continue in a
supported mobile browser so preserve the source code that enables that
but give it more appropriate naming.
The files react/index.native.js and react/index.web.js ended up having
very similar source code related to initializing the Redux store. Remove
the duplication.
Additionally, I always wanted the App React Component to be consumed
without the need to provide a Redux store to it.
Simplify the source code (with the idea that source code which does not
exist does not have to be maintained).
Additionally, apply modifications to have the source code comply with the coding
style.
Overall, prepare saghul:audio-mode for merge into jitsi:master.
Recently, we reimplemented the Welcome page in React. Unfortunately, we
broke the checkbox that enables/disables the Welcome page and it would
allow checking but wouldn't allow unchecking.
