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.
If half the file is written in ES6, it is easier to read if the rest of
the file is in ES6 as well. If ES6 is used, then const is better than
let. If source code is shorter yet as readable as the long version, then
prefer the short version.
We have the functions reload and redirect which modify window.location.
Use them and do not directly modify window.location so that we have
fewer places of direct window.location modifications and it is easier to
refactor them.
window.location calls it reload so util/helpers shouldn't call it
redirect because UI/util/UIUtil has it is own redirect which is the
assign of window.location.
- 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.
