Integration requires the undocumented peer dependency on calls-sdk-android 5.0.+, stub classes for legacy CallManager references, and corrected Call constructor argument order. Proper foreground service setup, ConnectionService wiring, and FCM VoIP push configuration are essential for full functionality.
What are the key workarounds needed for CometChat V6 calling on Android?
CometChat Android V6 Calls requires five documented workarounds: the undocumented calls-sdk-android 5.0.+ peer dependency, stub classes for legacy CallManager references, corrected Call constructor argument order, proper foreground service setup, and ConnectionService wiring. Additionally, FCM VoIP push configuration must be correctly implemented to enable real-time call notifications and seamless call routing in your Android application.
How to add calls to Android app with CometChat V6 calling SDK?
CometChat Android V6 Calls provides a complete calling SDK for Android. Start by adding the calls-sdk-android 5.0.+ peer dependency, then implement stub classes for legacy CallManager references and use the corrected Call constructor argument order. Configure foreground service permissions, wire ConnectionService for system integration, and set up FCM VoIP push handling. Use CometChat V6's UI kit for Compose or Kotlin Views to build the calling interface.
What's required for voice and video call implementation in CometChat Android V6?
CometChat Android V6 Calls supports both voice and video calls through its comprehensive SDK. Implementation requires the calls-sdk-android 5.0.+ dependency, legacy CallManager stub classes, and proper Call constructor configuration.
