Your use case

What would you like to do?

Implement MSC2762, MSC3819, and MSC3846 in Element iOS

Why would you like to do it?

It's a prerequisite for integrating Element Call into Element iOS, which is the future of VoIP in Element.

How would you like to achieve it?

Firstly, the most basic functionality of the widget API (negotiating capabilities, notifying the widget when the client is ready, etc.) needs to be implemented. Then, Element iOS needs to add support for each of the MSCs listed above. Hopefully, both of these tasks can be greatly simplified by reusing the matrix-widget-api project, and referencing the matrix-react-sdk implementations linked on each of the MSCs.

Have you considered any alternatives?
