🐛 Screen Sharing status always false

[AndreLiu1225]

Description

Hello! I am unable to display a screen share on my Iphone (not simulator) that I am using for debugging. isScreenShareActive() always returns false and a screen share tile does not show.

Following the steps in this documentation https://www.100ms.live/docs/flutter/v2/how-to-guides/set-up-video-conferencing/screen-share#how-to-startstop-screenshare-from-the-app. I have done the following:

• Implemented startScreenShare() and stopScreenShare() override methods
• Added in switch cases in onSucces(), onTrackUpdate, and onException() for screenSharing

100ms Flutter Version

1.9.13

Steps to reproduce

Run Debug Mode in main.dart Press Join Button Press ScreenShare button

Expected results

I expected a screen sharing tile to pop up and the screen sharing button color to change to green.

Hello! Thank you for filing an issue.

Please include relevant logs or detailed description for faster resolutions.

We really appreciate your contribution!

hey @AndreLiu1225 Can you try reproducing this on the latest version of hmssdk_flutter which is 1.9.14? The version you mentioned - 1.0.0 is very old.

Hi there! Im so sorry! It's a typo, the version I;m using is 1.9.13

[Decoder07]

@AndreLiu1225 are you able to see screenshare on the other end ?

[AndreLiu1225]

Nope, the screen share is just not active. I'm guessing that the screenShareTrack is null

[AndreLiu1225]

@AndreLiu1225 are you able to see screenshare on the other end ?

If I'm not wrong upon pressing the screen sharing button, a screen broadcast pop up would appear and u could choose the app's broadcast extension, but nothing pops up.

[AndreLiu1225]

Upon closer inspection, I realised the auth token was updated and that I was using an outdated one. @ygit @Decoder07 Thank u so much for ur time!
