It will only be requested if a user joins a meeting or flips the switch from
video to audio and back, but never as the first thing when the welcome page is
mounted.
Improve the experience when joining a room by removing the need to tap the join
button. The keyboard type has also been set to "go", which translated on the
builtin keyboard button label to be "go" (it's builtin, the operating system
translates it). This works on both Android and iOS.
It will replace the "Join" text button while appNavigate lasts.
Note about the implementation: when appNavigate completes the component
may have been unmounted and thus we cannot touch its state. In order to
avoid this problem I added a 'mounted' instance variable which gets set
and reset in componentWillMount / Unmount respectively. This is to avoid
using isMounted, which is highly discouraged.
Implement a React Component which displays children as an overlay of
local video. The WelcomePage implemented such a component inside of it
among other WelcomePage-specific logic so I split
LocalVideoTrackUnderlay out of it. The new Component is used on the
BlankPage which may be displayed in the future not only when the
WelcomePage is disabled but also when there are long running network
requests, for example.
When do we need tracks?
- Welcome page (only the video track)
- Conference (depends if starting with audio / video muted is requested)
When do we need to destroy the tracks?
- When we are not in a conference and there is no welcome page
In order to accommodate all the above use cases, a new component is introduced:
BlankWelcomePage. Its purpose is to take the place of the welcome page when it
is disabled. When this component is mounted local tracks are destroyed.
Analogously, a video track is created when the (real) welcome page is created,
and all the desired tracks are created then the Conference component is created.
What are desired tracks? These are the tracks we'd like to use for the
conference that is about to happen. By default both audio and video are desired.
It's possible, however, the user requested to start the call with no
video/audio, in which case it's muted in base/media and a track is not created.
The first time the app starts (with the welcome page) it will request permission
for video only, since there is no need for audio in the welcome page. Later,
when a conference is joined permission for audio will be requested when an audio
track is to be created. The audio track is not destroyed when the conference
ends. Yours truly thinks this is not needed since it's a stopped track which is
not using system resources.
Introduce certain React Components which may be used to write
cross-platform source code such as Audio like Web's audio, Container
like Web's div, Text like Web's p, etc.
