iOS 13 VOIP Background call is not working

[sushantgiri]

Hello there,
I tested the application on iOS 12 it is working fine in all three states:

1. App in foreground.
2. App in back stack.
3. App cleared from backstack.
   However in iOS 13 only App in foreground condition works. I do not receive any VOIP calls in background.

"On iOS 13.0 and later, if you fail to report a call to CallKit, the system will terminate your app. Repeatedly failing to report calls may cause the system to stop delivering any more VoIP push notifications to your app. If you want to initiate a VoIP call without using CallKit, register for push notifications using the UserNotifications framework instead of PushKit"

Please let me know if i have missed something or necessary changes that i have to make.

Hello
Not sure if you have fixed this issue or not,
But for me
I have fixed by modifying some of the code
like whenever you receive a VoIP push, you have to trigger the call kit screen, because as of ios13 this is a necessary thing, and after this whenever the users accepts it will call didRecieveSession delegate and you have to just push to ur controller by accepting the call.

Hello @gurpreet029 Just implement

func pushRegistry(_ registry: PKPushRegistry, didReceiveIncomingPushWith payload: PKPushPayload, for type: PKPushType, completion: @escaping () -> Void){
}

and report incoming call to callkit via reportNewIncomingCall and update the provided sample reportNewincomingCall to reportCall(with: uuid, updated: update)
