Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added AES-GCM end-to-end encryption for RTP media on Android and iOS.
    • Added participant/shared key management, lifecycle controls, sender/receiver transforms, and disposal handling.
    • Added encryption events, key-state reporting, and optional performance reporting.
    • Exported encryption APIs, configuration options, event types, and reporting data.
    • Added peer-connection helpers for locating senders and receivers by identifier.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved cleanup retry behavior and validation of encryption parameters.
  • Compatibility

    • Updated native WebRTC integration for encryption support.

145.17.0 is the first stable release carrying the framed AES-GCM E2EE
work (GetStream/webrtc#110), which previously shipped only as the
145.16.0 pre-release. The bindings are identical between the two, so the
E2EE bridge needed no changes: the Android AAR's classes.jar has the same
SHA-256 and RTCEncryptionManager.h is unchanged. The only functional
delta is in the audio receive path, where clearing a frame transformer
now reaches the media channel instead of being dropped (or hitting a
DCHECK); nothing we call exercises that path today.

Android resolves from Maven Central now that the version is a release
rather than a snapshot.

iOS goes back to depending on the StreamWebRTC pod. That pod is
published to CocoaPods trunk for this version, and the trunk podspec's
source is the same stream-video-swift-webrtc release asset the podspec
was downloading by hand, so dropping the vendoring block and third_party/
changes nothing about what gets linked. Also drops the .gitignore entry
for the download stamp the block wrote.

Both bridges narrowed keyIndex with a truncating conversion
(ReadableMap.getInt on Android, NSNumber.intValue on iOS) and left the
range check to the native binding, which only sees the result. Any
fractional value in (-1, 1) therefore landed silently on slot 0 rather
than being rejected, so removeSharedKey(-0.5) removed a live key; NaN
did the same, since it converts to 0 in both languages.

Validate on the double, before narrowing, for every key operation. NaN
fails the integrality comparison and the 0-255 range check covers both
infinities. Rejections reuse the existing {error} result, with the
messages naming the accepted range so a present-but-invalid index no
longer reports as a missing one.

The JS surface documents the range but does not enforce it, which makes
the bridge the trust boundary here.
dispose() removed the handle from the registry before calling
setObserver(null) and dispose() on it, so a throwing native cleanup
dropped the only reference to the manager: the C++ object leaked, and
neither a retried dispose() nor disposeAll() on teardown could still
reach it.

Deregister only once both native calls succeed, which is also what the
iOS bridge already did.
The xcframework is staged under XCFrameworkIntermediates by its owning
pod, which went back to StreamWebRTC when the podspec returned to the
pod dependency. The path had been left pointing at the vendoring-era
stream-react-native-webrtc directory.

CocoaPods regenerates this block, and both CI workflows run pod install
before building, so this only keeps the tracked file consistent with
what the current podspec produces.
@santhoshvai santhoshvai changed the title feat: e2ee support feat: add end-to-end encryption support Sep 8, 2026
dispose() marked the manager disposed from a finally block, so a native
cleanup failure still flipped the flag and every later dispose() returned
early. That defeats the native registries, which deliberately keep a
manager registered when its cleanup throws so the call can be retried.

The flag and the listener teardown now run only after the native dispose
succeeds. The event subscription stays attached on failure, which is
correct: the manager still exists natively and can still emit.
Both bridges range-checked the track type only after truncating it:
Android compared the result of ReadableMap.getInt, iOS range-checked
[value integerValue] and then forwarded the original NSNumber. A
fractional or non-finite value therefore landed on a valid enum entry
instead of being rejected -- -0.5 and NaN both became AUDIO, 1.5 became
VIDEO.

Silently selecting audio is the misgrouping the comment above the parser
warns about: a screen-share-audio track would join the microphone and
share its replay window. Both now validate the double before narrowing,
matching the key-index helper -- the floor/trunc comparison rejects NaN
and the range check covers both infinities.

we have newer version 145.19.0 - shall we bump to it?

santhoshvai added a commit to GetStream/stream-video-js that referenced this pull request Sep 28, 2026
💡 Overview

Adds end-to-end encryption to the React Native SDK. Encryption runs
natively in @stream-io/react-native-webrtc, using the same wire format
as the web and iOS SDKs, so encrypted calls interoperate across
platforms.

- EncryptionManager — native-backed implementation of the core
E2EEManager interface, API-compatible with the web manager.
- StreamVideoRN.setRingingCallLifecycleHooks() — ringing calls are
joined by the SDK, not by app code, so there is no moment where the app
can attach a manager before the join. These hooks are that moment, on
every ringing path.
- Dogfood: passphrase entry, lock badge, live re-keying, key-mismatch
warning.

 📝 Implementation notes

- Call.ts: globalThis.streamRNVideoSDK bridge plus cancellation checks
reusing leaveGeneration. No new Call fields; web and non-ringing calls
are untouched.
- Setup failure or the 5s timeout aborts the join and ends the ringing
flow. Joining unencrypted on a call the user believes is private is the
worse outcome.
- One Call is one call flow — discard it after leave/cancel/failed join.
Documented contract, not an enforced ban; inherited reuse behaviour and
tests are untouched.
- dispose() is mandatory on RN (no native detach, closing peer
connections doesn't release it), and gated on teardown succeeding.

Follow-ups to the review of #68.

- `getTrackById()` now returns the track wrapper the observer keeps.
Before, it used `pc.getReceivers()`, which disposes the wrappers from
its previous call and detaches their sinks. That broke the recorder when
E2EE `decrypt()` or `receiver.getStats()` ran on the same peer
connection. Android only.
- E2EE event forwarding on Android now catches exceptions and drops the
event, so a bad event cannot crash the app.
- The two "dispose E2EE managers first" comments no longer read as an
ordering requirement. Dispose order does not matter for safety.
- `encrypt()` docs say to attach before the sender has a track or is
negotiated to send.

Tested on dogfood: loopback recording keeps video while receivers are
enumerated mid-recording, and E2EE meeting join, leave, rejoin,
wrong-key, and bundle reload all pass on both platforms.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Prevented failures while processing encryption events from disrupting
event delivery; events that cannot be prepared are dropped safely.
  * Improved remote track lookup consistency.
* **Documentation**
* Clarified that encryption must be attached before a sender has a track
or is negotiated to send; frames sent beforehand are unencrypted.
  * Clarified encryption manager cleanup behavior during app reloads.

Backport note: adapted to `release-v1`, which does not have the
`ClientState` refactor (#2422) or the shared i18n runtime (#2436).

- `clientState` -> `clientStore` and `ClientState` ->
  `StreamVideoWriteableStateStore` in `Call.ts` and the two new ringing
  lifecycle test files.
- `ringingJoinIntegration.test.ts` hands the Call `client['writeableStateStore']`:
  v1 still has two stores, and `client.state` is the read-only one.
- RN SDK peer ranges for the sibling packages stay `>=0.1.0`; only the
  `@stream-io/react-native-webrtc` range and dev dependency change.
- Dogfood: adds a v1 `hooks/useAppI18n.ts` that maps the
  `t(key, fallback, options)` calls to v1's `t(key, options)`.
  `CallErrorComponent` and `ParticipantsInfoListModal` keep their v1
  strings and carry only this PR's own change.
- `yarn.lock` regenerated from v1's with `yarn install
  --mode=update-lockfile`, not merged from `main`.
