100mslive/100ms-android

Using @100mslive/react-sdk in a Capacitor mobile app

Describe the bug
Hi, I'm currently using @100mslive/react-sdk in my next js app and everything is working great on desktop and mobile browsers, but i'm now trying to create a mobile app using https://capacitorjs.com/. I've got everything working in the mobile app on both iOS and Android except for the 100ms integration.

When I start live streaming, I am being prompted for camera/video permissions, which I'm granting, but in the mobile app I only see this grey screen with a play button image:

For Android, these are the permissions and features I'm setting in my AndroidManifest.xml file:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES"/>“
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.audio.output" android:required="true" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.any" android:required="true" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="true" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" android:required="true" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front" android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.level.full" android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.flash" android:required="false" />

Also, if i use the developer console i see this error, even though i have granted permission:

I realize you have Android and iOS SDKs of 100ms, but as a non-mobile developer, I'm not entirely sure how I would instead use those SDKs on mobile and whether or not they will work with the existing @100mslive/react-sdk library I'm using on the client.

Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks! 🙏🏼

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install @100mslive/react-sdk in a react or next js app
  2. Install capacitor to generate a mobile app
  3. Attempt to start a livestream from within an Android or iOS app
  4. See that only a grey screen with a playhead image is shown and the livestream never starts

Expected behavior
The video stream should start properly and use the mobile device's camera

Additional context
I'm not sure if this is the correct repo to create this issue in, so please let me know if there is a better place to put it

Update: I was able to get it working on android by adding android:allowAudioPlaybackCapture="true" to the AndroidManifest.xml and

dependencies {
    def hmsVersion = "2.8.1"
    implementation "live.100ms:android-sdk:$hmsVersion"    // Essential
    implementation "live.100ms:video-view:$hmsVersion" // Essential
    implementation "live.100ms:virtual-background:$hmsVersion" // Optional
    implementation "live.100ms:hls-player-stats:$hmsVersion"   // Optional
    implementation "live.100ms:hls-player:$hmsVersion"   // Optional
}

to the build.gradle
