Hello all, I may have stumbled upon a conversation regarding the same issue I’m having. We have developed a CarPlay view for our Jitsi based app. The problem is, if the phone locks, the meeting network flows stop after 2 minutes. If we keep the phone unlocked, the meeting runs no problem. details are here:

CarPlay Loses Network Traffic

Network traffic stops flowing only while connected to CarPlay. We have developed our own CarPlay UI for our Jitsi client. We use our own because we don’t like the limited capability of the CallKit framework.

As I watch the meeting from our web client, after 2 minutes,…

We are currently in the process of updating our SDK to the latest (7.0.1) and will try some of the suggestions in this thread.
