WebRTC video connection dropping on iOS 17

I've been having connection issues with WebRTC in my app since updating my devices to iOS 17. The issues are inconsistent, but generally the video connection cuts out after a couple seconds, seemingly because of network issues.

I saw that there was a mention of WebRTC in the security content of iOS 17, and I've seen some reports on Reddit about users of smart home devices with cameras having connection issues after updating to iOS 17. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

This is the WebRTC package I'm using: https://github.com/stasel/WebRTC

Given that you’re using an open source WebRTC library, you have a couple of options:

  • You can escalate this via the library’s support channel.

  • You can take ownership of the code and debug things yourself.

One you, or the library’s author, has isolated this to some Apple API, I’m happy to discuss what’s going on with that.
