Alarm going off kills audio (session)

[r00li]

Describe the bug If the user has an alarm/timer that goes off during an active call then the audio session gets stopped with unknown status code.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set an alarm under the clock app for near future
2. Go to the app using amazon chime and connect to a call
3. Wait for the previously set alarm to go off
4. Dismiss the alarm notification by swiping up
5. You cannot talk to other participants of the call anymore, after 30s audioSessionDidStopWithStatus(sessionStatus: MeetingSessionStatus) gets called with .unknown status.

Expected behavior Audio session would recover after user dismisses the alarm and the user would be able to continue their call normally.

Thank you for opening the issue. Do you mind using Callkit and see if this works for you? Blogpost might help and our demo app also has an option to start meeting with callkit. I have tested and I can see the meeting still runs after alarm turns off.

Let me know if this works for you as well.

Due to some product considerations (for example AppStore limitation on Chinese app store) we are still internally deciding if we should use callkit or not. It would be great if this could be fixed without us using callkit.

Hi @r00li , Without CallKit, audio calling experience may be degraded because other applications that need access to AVAudioSession can take over and interrupt the audio calling. I'm not able to reproduce with Alarm, but I'm able to reproduce with a music app and phone call. We will consider as an enhancement to address this without CallKit

I also met this issue. Alarms and phone calls kill the audio session with unknown code (78). It does not happen with iTunes music app.

I'm using React Native with the demo from this repo.

Same here :(

I'm seeing this occur without an alarm.

Without CallKit, audio calling experience may be degraded. you could refer to the Amazon Chime SDK CallKit Integration blogpost, it will walk you through key steps to integrate Apple’s CallKit into your Customer Application. Thanks.
