Add possibility to use PIP, Screenshare and Camera with iOS 16

[marcel-ploch]

Hello together,

as far as we can see with iOS 16 it is possible to have camera access also the App is not in foreground.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_avfoundation_multitasking-camera-access

I Player a bit with iOS SDK and PIP mode and could add it. Only if i put the App in Background the Camera Stream will drop and I not can see my UIViews anymore.

That is normal behavior and I could challange it on Android where it is working quite fine.

Will it be possible to have this extension for AVFoundation also for the iOS SDK.

Is it somehow possible to receive the Stream Raw Data without the Subscriber View so that I can add it to the PIP mode. And the User can see the other user when the app is in Background to Share the Screen?

Kind regards

@marcel-ploch, PIP support isn't on our current roadmap. That said, it may show up in a future roadmap. This is being tracked internally: https://jira.vonage.com/browse/VIDCS-791.

@v-kpheng, Is it still outside your current roadmap?
