Using anything non-serializable for action types is discouraged:
https://redux.js.org/faq/actions#actions
In fact, this is the Flow definition for dispatching actions:
declare export type DispatchAPI<A> = (action: A) => A;
declare export type Dispatch<A: { type: $Subtype<string> }> = DispatchAPI<A>;
Note how the `type` field is defined as a subtype of string, which Symbol isn’t.
feat(App): refactor App and split it into BaseApp and App
BaseApp does all the heavy-lifting related to creating the redux store,
navigation, and so on.
App currently handles URL props and actually triggering navigation based on
them.
Contributing all buttons in one place goes against the designs that we
set out at the beginning of the project's rewrite and that multiple of
us have been following since then.
[Android] Fix possible TypeError in multi-JitsiMeetView SDK consumers
If multiple JitsiMeetView instances are created (not necessarily
existing at once), it's possible to hit a TypeError when reading the
React Component props of the currently mounted App. Anyway, in certain
places we're already protecting against that out of abundance of caution
so it makes no sense to not protect everywhere.
ref(PiP/actions): remove 'is ok to enter PiP' check
Currently enterPictureInPicture action can only be dispatched when
the app is on the conference view and the enter PiP button is displayed,
so no check should be necessary.
fix(Android|PiP): do not invoke 'enterPictureInPicture' in PAUSED state
Activity.enterPictureInPictureMode method must be invoked synchronously
on userLeaveHint callback in order to be sure that the current Activity
is still visible (does not transit to PAUSED state). Previously if the
asynchronous processing would be delayed enough for the Activity to go
into the PAUSED state it will be too late to go into the PiP mode.
fix(PictureInPictureModule): catch the RuntimeException
Activity.enterPictureInPictureMode can fail for a couple of reasons
mentioned in the JSDoc:
"The system may disallow entering picture-in-picture in various cases,
including when the activity is not visible, if the screen is locked or
if the user has an activity pinned."
It seems to be safe to assume that those cases will be caught by
a RuntimeException handler (only RuntimeExceptions can be left without
explicit catch block).
Anyway the root cause for problems is the fact that the current process
for going to the picture in picture mode is not synchronised with
Activity's lifecycle. On Activity's "userLeaveHint" callback we dispatch
async task to the JS code which only then after dispatching some more
stuff eventually call native method that enter PiP. In case we spend too
much time on the JS side and the Activity goes to PAUSED state the call
will fail with IllegalStatException: "activity is not visible",
"activity is paused" etc. This means with this fix the app will not
crash, but we'll see it sometimes not go to the PiP mode as expected.
This only works automatically on Android >= 8. On other platforms / versions, it
relies on the SDK user on implementing a "reduced UI" mode and reacting to the
"request PIP" delegate method.
