Cannot re-show meeting when app is backgrounded on Android

Meeting SDK
1

Meeting SDK Type and Version
@zoom/meetingsdk-react-native, 6.2.10

Description
We are noticing odd behavior when using the Zoom Meeting SDK in React Native on Android phones and the app is backgrounded.

Specifically, these are the reproduction steps:

  • Open our app on Android
  • App calls the following to join the meeting, and the meeting screen successfully shows
await zoom.joinMeeting({
  userName: name,
  meetingNumber: meetingId,
  password: password,
})
  • Hit phone’s home button to send app to background
  • Re-open app, meeting screen is not there, and if we call joinMeeting again, nothing happens

At this point, there is a persistent element in the phone’s notification drawer that says “Meeting in progress”. If the user presses that “Meeting in progress” notification, the meeting screen re-appears, but there seems to be no other way to do that after the app is backgrounded.

There is even different behavior if you were to hit the phones back button when the meeting is joined - this causes the meet to go into picture-in-picture mode.

Is this intended behavior? Is there a way to forcibly re-show the meeting when the app enters the foreground again?

@tommypomelo ,

Thank you for reporting this @tommypomelo ! Are you seeing this on a specific Android device or is it reproducible with any device?

Have you found any solution, as facing the same issue while meeting with my mentor.

We were testing on a Samsung Galaxy A15 but it was reproducible on other devices like a Google Pixel 9.
