[Android SDK] Screen sharing not working for Android 10, 11, 12 [Edit]

[KacperL98]

Description:

for devices above Android 9, screen sharing does not work.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set the toolbox.enabled flag to true
2. Click on the three dots and choose screen sharing
3. There is a black screen on the screen sharing

or

1. according to the documentation use TOGGLE_SCREEN_SHARE
2. Click the button of your choice and share the screen
3. There is a black screen on the screen sharing

Expected behavior:

Screen sharing works on any version of Android. Screen Sharing only works with Api 28 and lower versions.

Actual behavior:

Screen sharing doesn't work above Android 9.

Server information:

• Jitsi Meet version:
• I checked a few versions (6.2.2, 7.0.0, 7.0.1)

Client information:

• Browser / app version: latest mobile app
• Operating System: Android 10, 11, 12

Additional information:

Has there been anything changed for Screen sharing? I think it might be something with MediaProjection.

What error do you get? (please check with adb logcat)

I checked, but there is no specific information. I found similar problems, however they are not solved:

• https://community.jitsi.org/t/jitsi-android-sdk-screen-sharing-issue/110235
• Screen sharing feature not working fine on Android 12 #11367

Now, I tested in Android 12 for Samsung A51

It looks as if in the flag does not work something properly toolbox.enabled or TOGGLE_SCREEN_SHARE

I also found repository, where is working fine for version 2.11.0 (2020-11-17)

Could you check if something has changed for Screen sharing in the latest versions?

I don't recall anything changing. I also cannot reproduce the problem on the Jitsi Meet app. At any rate, we are planning to release SDK 8 soon, which is built to target more modern Android versions, that might have something to do with it.

In the Jitsi meet app it works. A lot of examples on Android use older versions of Jitsi. After adding the latest version 7.0.1 in the app, it only works for me up to API 28 (Android 9).
