Description

Calling RNCallKeep.setup causes app to crash with PhoneAccount connection service requires BIND_TELECOM_CONNECTION_SERVICE permission error. This error appears to typically be caused by a misconfiguration. After carefully reviewing the installation steps, reviewing my implementation, and rebuilding and testing the expo development client, I don't believe that's the case here. The logs have been edited to remove potentially sensitive information, for example, com.company.app.

RNCallKeep.setup is being called in a useEffect 2 seconds after the main tab navigator mounts upon initial app launch.

1. Followed all configuration steps:

// AndroidManifest.xml permissions

  <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.audio.output"/>

// AndroidManifest.xml - within the application tags

<service android:name="io.wazo.callkeep.VoiceConnectionService" android:label="Wazo" android:permission="android.permission.BIND_TELECOM_CONNECTION_SERVICE" android:foregroundServiceType="camera|microphone" android:exported="true">

      </intent-filter>
    </service>
    <service android:name="io.wazo.callkeep.RNCallKeepBackgroundMessagingService"/>

// app.config.ts android permission config for good measure:

android: {
      googleServicesFile: "./google-services.json",
      package: "com.company.app",
      allowBackup: false,
      versionCode: 21,
      adaptiveIcon: {
        foregroundImage: "./assets/logos/companyAppLogo1000x1000.png"
      },
      permissions: [
        "android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE",
        "android.permission.BLUETOOTH",
        "android.permission.CAMERA",
        "android.permission.INTERNET",
        "android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS",
        "android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO",
        "android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW",
        "android.permission.WAKE_LOCK",
        "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE",
        "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE",
        "android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION",
        "android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE",
        "android.permission.CALL_PHONE",
        "android.permission.BIND_TELECOM_CONNECTION_SERVICE",
        "android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE"
      ]
    },

I've also tried updating android/app/src/debug targetApi to 30 along with setting the minSdkVersion in expo build properties to 30.

Here's my options object:

    const CKConfig = {
      ios: {
        appName: 'App Name',
        imageName: 'grayscale-icon',
        supportsVideo: true,
        maximumCallGroups: '1',
        maximumCallsPerCallGroup: '1'
      },
      android: {
        alertTitle: 'Permissions required',
        alertDescription: 'App needs to access your phone accounts',
        cancelButton: 'Cancel',
        okButton: 'Ok',
        additionalPermissions: [],
        imageName: 'grayscale-icon',
        selfManaged: false,
        // Required to get audio in background when using Android 11
        foregroundService: {
          channelId: 'com.company.app',
          channelName: 'Foreground service for my app',
          notificationTitle: 'My app is running on background',
          notificationIcon: 'app-icon',
        }, 
      }

I was able to resolve this issue by using the following config plugin:

[ark-fabtechsol]

hi, I need some assistance , I gave all the permissions , Basically i was trying to call via my mobile sim cards using the phone's default calling screen, it asks for permissions , takes me to phone accounts were i give permission to my app and then when i make call , it uses mobiles default calling screen to make a call.

issue:
The issue is that the call keeps dialing and does not stop secondly the call does not connects to the other user and his phone doesnt ring.

i have just two functions in my app one to start call other to end. right now i didnt impleented any call reciving functionality but because it is calling via sim so the other user mst recive the call.
