Description

Hi Team, I'm trying to find a way to show Connecting... screen during an inbound call.
Based on my understanding, once the user answers from the native CallKit screen, IOS issues a CXAnswerCallAction. Them react-native-callkeep module fulfills that action right away which tells CallKit that call has connected so the system starts the timer.

In our case once we receive the answerCall event on the JS code, we have some logic to connect the call and it takes few seconds(<5) based on the network. During this time how to show a Connecting... screen on IOS instead of the timer as the timer make users thing call is already connected? This has particularly been an issue when answering from Lock Screen.

React Native version ,0.84.4
React Native CallKeep version 4.3.16

Thank you!

Research direction

Start by tracing the CXAnswerCallAction fulfillment and the answerCall event described in the issue, then inspect the iOS CallKit integration to establish when the system timer begins. Determine whether a supported intermediate Connecting state is possible and define the behavior for calls answered from the lock screen.
