Hi,
I didn't see a CallKit forum so I hope it's OK to post this here.
The app I'm working on provides video and audio communication between users of the app. Currently, we do not implement CallKit. When one user places a call to another user, we use regular push notifications to notify the other person, and make the connection over our own server if the user responds to the notification and opens the app.
The incoming call notification is the weak point in the app: it is easy to miss and difficult to respond to. We want to improve this by making the incoming call "ring" like a regular telephone call. It would also be nice, but not critical, if we could keep calls active in the background with the green banner like a regular phone call. Beyond that, we don't need or want to integrate with anything else in iOS. We don't need to have our calls show up in call logs, or use the iOS contacts, we don't need any UI from iOS, and we don't want to "integrate" with other calling apps, etc.
Is CallKit the right tool for this?
I tried reading a CallKit tutorial but it was extremely confusing and didn't even address the issue of how the app gets alerted to incoming calls.
Thanks,
Frank
