On RN we don't use the global APP object, so don't save the store there unless
it's defined, which is the case in the current web version. Also, check for
undefined explicitly, since a "if (!APP)" check will throw a ReferenceError.
The mobile app remembers the domain which hosted the last conference. If
the user specified a full URL first and specified a room name only the
second time, it was not obvious that the second conference would be
hosted on the domain of the first conference.
Now that Apple have approved build 1.2.199 for release in the App Store,
the short app version needs to be incremented; otherwise, no new builds
can be uploaded to TestFlight and, respectively, for release in the App
Store.
Looks like Android gets confused as to what surface to blit when we hide or
show toolbars. Setting a border on the container, seems to force the entire
area to blit properly.
Other attempted approaches, with no success:
- zIndex of -100
- width and height of 0
- opacity of 0 and setting 'disabled' on touch containers
This patch applies the workaround in the welcome page and conference containers.
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.
