💡 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.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added React Native end-to-end encryption support, including AES-GCM key management and native WebRTC integration.
    • Added encryption setup for calls, shared-key updates, and visible encryption status indicators.
    • Added controls for entering encryption keys and notifications for local or participant key mismatches.
    • Added configurable lifecycle hooks for ringing calls before joining and after leaving.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved cancellation and cleanup when ringing calls are left during setup or joining.
    • Improved failed push-call handling and call teardown.
    • Prevented duplicate or stale call joins from leaving behind active registrations.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Sync the input with later store updates.

draft is seeded from stored only on mount. E2EEKeyNotification.applyKey writes a new e2eeKeyInput during a call. JoinMeetingScreen stays mounted in the native stack, so after returning from the call this input still shows the previous passphrase while the store holds the new one. The status line then also describes the stale value.

🐛 Proposed fix
   const [draft, setDraft] = useState(stored);
   const styles = useStyles();
+
+  // Adopt keys applied elsewhere (e.g. the in-call mismatch banner).
+  useEffect(() => {
+    setDraft((current) => (current.trim() === stored ? current : stored));
+  }, [stored]);

Add useEffect to the React import.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fail the configured E2EE join when call.currentUserId is absent.

Call.currentUserId reads connectedUser?.id. If it is absent, MeetingUI and the ringing lifecycle continue after this helper resolves and call join() without an E2EE manager. The auto-on contract rejects that manager-less join, so the user receives a later join failure instead of this module's explicit error. Throw here so both callers abort before joining and show the intended message.

🛠️ Proposed fix
   const userId = call.currentUserId;
   if (!userId) {
     // The manager labels the frames it encrypts with the local user, so there is
     // nothing sane to attach before the client has connected one.
-    console.warn('Cannot enable E2EE before the user is connected');
-    return;
+    throw new Error(
+      'Cannot enable end-to-end encryption before the user is connected.',
+    );
   }
