fix(android) Keep microphone enabled when app is in background

clvs7-gh commented 2 weeks ago

Description

Android app currently mutes when it's in the background or loses focus, which wasn't an issue in previous versions. This PR fixes the issue and restoring the ability to use the microphone in the background. (Maybe) Fixes https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/14615

Cause

Since Android 14, it appears to require more explicit permissions for foreground services. ( Reference : https://medium.com/@domen.lanisnik/guide-to-foreground-services-on-android-9d0127dc8f9a ) Currently, the app lacks the required permission, causing app to lose access to microphone in the background. This behavior maybe relates targetSdkVersion.

How to fix

Added the FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE permission to the app's manifest and configured it to be used by the JitsiMeetOngoingConferenceService.

Tested devices

SONY Xperia 5 V SO-53D (Android 14)
Motorola moto g52j 5G (Android 12)
