The avid reader may notice we have switched to using our own fork. That is
indeed the case. The upstream author hasn't maintained the library in months,
and changes to the Android build system are required at this point, hence the
fork.
Note that Android 9 Pie (API 28) disallows HTTP requests by default, so an
exception was needed in the app in order for the Metro bundler to work in debug
mode.
* chore(deps): bump lib-jitsi-meet
Brings in a fix for getDisplayMedia being moved onto
navigator.mediaDevices and a hack fix for SDP
interop between Chrome and Firefox.
* Update package lock file sed/http/https.
Glide (which is used by react-native-fast-image) can cause trouble if the host
app (the one using the SDK) is using Glide already.
To avoid this, don't use the builtin AppGlideModule (as the docs recommend) and
let apps define it.
Updating react-native-fast-image brings a couple of interesting changes:
- onLoad is not called for cached images (reported and ignored upstream)
- load progress not working if component not displayed (on Android)
In order to fix this, a combination of 2 approaches was used:
- onLoadEnd / onError are used to detect if the image is loaded
- off-screen rendering is used on Android to get progress events
While implementing the above, yours truly noticed the complexity was increasing
way too much, so some extra refactoring was also performed:
- componentWillReceiveProps is dropped
- an auxiliary component (AvatarContent) is used for the actual content of the
Avatar, with the former passing the key prop to the latter
Using the key prop ensures AvatarContent will be recreated if the URI changes,
which is not a bad idea anyway, since the new image needs to be downloaded.
Xcode 10 introduced a new build system. Alas, it breaks a number of important
flows, such as creating an archive for the framework (ie SDK) target.
In order to "fix" this, switch back to the former (Xcode 9) build system for the
time being.
* Replaces smileys and the logic of replacing links/emails.
Now using react-emoji-render and react-linkify.
* Fixes heart emoji.
It is known that current implementation doesn't work with ascii emojis that contain < or >, like >:( >:-( </3 <\3 <3. Making those work may bring some xss issues.
* Adds '_blank' and 'noopener noreferrer' to the replaced links.
* Fixes package-lock links (http vs https).
* Fixes comments.
Set them to the next release versions. In additon, the buildNumber variable will
be used to match the requirements of versionCode:
https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning
that is, a monotonically increasing number, independent of the app / sdk
version.
The upstream package has been unmaintained for 2 years now, and making the litle
changes needed as React Native needs them is getting old. The actual
funcionality is a couple of one-liners plus tons of boliterplate, which gets
reduced by quite a bit if we just embed it. So here it goes.
