UI API called on a background thread

[Semireg]

Description
After joining a meeting and sharing a view on iOS the console prints messages about the UI API being called on a background thread.

Which version?
Latest version as of writing: v4.4.57220.1211

To Reproduce(If applicable)
Join a meeting. Share a view.

I have tried to mitigate the issue by wrapping MobileRTCMeetingServiceDelegate callbacks (onMeetingStateChange/onMeetingReady) with DispatchQueue.main.async. Even with this, the app still suffers from the threading warnings.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: iPhone 7
• OS: 12.14.1

Hi
Yes, we have the Main Thread Checker when shared view, our colleagues in charge of the share module have not been able to change this problem, we will optimize this problem in the feature version, you can not check the “Main Thread Checker” option in the “Edit scheme-> Diagnostics”.

I am also having the same problem with the latest Zoom iOS SDK.

Description:

When I tried sharing the local content than when onSinkShareSizeChange(_:) method called than I do get the following error in the console:

Hi usman.awan,

Thanks for the info. Are you getting this with Zoom default UI or Custom UI? Are you using any 3rd party libraries such as MWPhotoBrowser?

Thanks!

[usman.awan (Usman)]

Hi @carson.zoom,

I am getting this in Zoom Custom UI in the sample application. This issue happens when I start the app share locally and on participants side, it started the screen share after the certain delay of (10-15sec).

I got this following exception:

I am unable to trace when the UI is accessed in the background thread. However, I think it’s happening when the [UIView frame] is initialized or fetched while the screen share size is changed.

Thanks for the info. I will forward this to the engineering team for further investigation. Will get back to you shortly.

Thanks!
