Description

Help needed

  • I've checked the example to reproduce the issue.

  • Reproduced on:

  • Android

  • iOS

Description

The headless task RNCallKeepBackgroundMessage for android handles calls from the native dialer. Calls from the native dialer on iOS work like a charm. The app launches and the listener "didLoadWithEvents" has the call data.

On Android RNCallKeepBackgroundMessage is fired and I can start a call, but the headless task is destroyed before I can register if the call is active or failed. How do you cope with calls from the native dialer on Android? I can't find any documentation for RNCallKeepBackgroundMessage.

Versions

- Callkeep: 4.3.12
- React Native: 0.71
- iOS: 16
- Android: 11
- Phone model: OnePlus 6T

Research direction

Start with the RNCallKeepBackgroundMessage entry point and the example linked in the issue, focusing on Android native-dialer calls and the headless task lifecycle. Compare this with the described iOS didLoadWithEvents behavior, then document how to handle active or failed calls before the task is destroyed. Done means the Android usage and lifecycle are clear to users.
