Revert "[RN] Remove unnecessary source code" (commit
a3441030a3). But since the project file
needs to explicitly mention the CallKit and Intents framework, do not
use the semantic @import as that's confusing in the case.
This commit adds initial support for CallKit on supported platforms: iOS >= 10.
Since the call flow in Jitsi Meet is basically making outgoing calls, only
outgoing call support is currently handled via CallKit.
Features:
- "Green bar" when in a call.
- Native CallKit view when tapping on the call label on the lock screen.
- Support for audio muting from the native CallKit view.
- Support for recent calls (audio-only calls logged as Audio calls, others show
as Video calls).
- Call display name is room name.
- Graceful downgrade on systems without CallKit support.
Limitations:
- Native CallKit view cannot be shown for audio-only calls (this is a CallKit
limitaion).
- The video button in the CallKit view will start a new video call to the same
room, and terminate the previous one.
- No support for call hold.
Before, Jitsi Meet (the app) would only link with JitsiMeet.framework, which in
turn embedded WebRTC.framework. While possible, Apple doesn't allow apps with
nested frameworks to be submitted to the store. Now the app will link with
WebRTC.framework directly so there is no framework nesting.
A potential improvement here is to build WebRTC as a static library so it can
then be embedded in JitsiMeet.framework and completely hidden from the app.
The current implementation doesn't use the API and Transport modules. This is
due to the fact that they are too tied to APP at the moment, which is web only.
Once API is refactored and moved into the Redux store this will be adjusted,
though it's unlikely that the lowest level React Native module (ExternalAPI)
changes drastically.
This commit also introduces a stopgap limitation of only allowing a single
instance for JitsiMeetView objects on both Android and iOS. React Native doesn't
really play well with having multiple instances of the same modules on the same
bridge, since they behave a bit like singletons. Even if we were to use multiple
bridges, some features depend on system-level global state, such as the
AVAudioSession mode or Android's immersive mode. Further attempts will be made
at lifting this limitation in the future, though.
1. Aligns the project structure of Jitsi Meet SDK for iOS with that for
Android for better comprehension.
2. The command `react-native run-ios` uses the last Xcode project or
workspace in the list of these sorted in alphabetical order. Which
limits our freedom in naming. Thus having only an Xcode project in
the root directory of the iOS project structure gives us back the
freedom in naming.
3. Allows the Podspec to work for the app project in addition to the sdk
project because we need Crashlytics in the app which is integrated
via Cocoapods as well.
4. Further removes references to JitsiKit in the source code for the
sake of consistent naming.
