Is screen sharing supposed to be working on iOS 12+ ?

Hello!

Currently I am involved in implementing the screen sharing feature for our application. I was able to implement it by following the Jitsi Guide for iOS SDK and collecting other code examples across the issues of this project.

However, I have noticed a remark about the restriction to use iOS 14+ (at the beginning of the guide itself) and found a comment line in jitsi-meet:

// TODO: this should work on iOS 12 too, but our trick to show the picker doesn't work.

The fact that screen sharing can be tested only on the real device and it can be reproduced on iOS 12/13 only, unfortunately, doesn’t allow me to test it myself (I don’t have such kinds of old devices by hand). Could you please share the exact details or notes about this issue? Is it react-native issue or something else ? Thanks in advance for any help!

iOS 14+, we gave up trying to make it work on iOS 12.

@saghul sorry for the late response. I’ll touch with you if I will have solutions to power up this feature since iOS 12+.

Now I’m struggling with another problem - I can’t simultaneously send multiple video tracks in one peer-connection… When I combine the video camera track and screen share track in one media-stream and then invoke renegotiation, I experience weird behavior like one video concurrently overlaps another while everything together is sluggish and glitching. I tried everything but can’t explain why so happens. In theory, it should be possible to send several video tracks within a single media-stream even with plan-b, isn’t it?

I attach the video with the demonstration -
