Foundation for native LiveKit calling: the LiveKit iOS SDK carries the call media
natively and coordinates its audio engine with CallKit's AVAudioSession (AudioManager
.setEngineAvailability on didActivate/didDeactivate) — the thing WebKit's WebRTC can't
do. With this, the CallKit call stays active (stable ring + lock-screen answer +
background) AND the mic works. Native connection code + server LiveKit token in the VoIP
payload + WebView coordination come next. Don't build yet.

The native call feature (iOS). Backward-compatible: without the plugin (current
builds) nativeCallOn() is false and every CallKit branch is skipped, so web/older
builds behave exactly as before.
Native (mobile/plugins/native-call, a local Capacitor plugin like audio-route):
- PushKit: registers for VoIP pushes, reports the VoIP token to JS (-> /api/v1/devices
'ios-voip'). On an incoming VoIP push, reports a CallKit incoming call (full-screen
ring, works when the app is force-killed).
- CallKit: answer/decline/end -> events to JS; configures the call AVAudioSession on
didActivate so the WebView's WebRTC audio rides a call-priority session (background).
- Outgoing calls register with CallKit too (reportOutgoingCall) so they get the same
active-call background-audio context.
- NativeCall.podspec (frameworks CallKit/PushKit/AVFoundation); added to mobile deps;
ios-patch.sh now sets UIBackgroundModes = [audio, voip] (voip required for PushKit).
Web bridge (home.html): setupNativeCall() registers the VoIP token, joins on CallKit
answer, leaves/declines on CallKit end; on CallKit devices the in-app call-invite popup
+ WebAudio ring are suppressed (the system rings instead); outgoing calls are reported
to CallKit; call-end events dismiss the CallKit call. calls.js threads a stable call
uuid through the dm-call/group-call WS events + start responses so both sides can match
the CallKit call.
Needs a Codemagic build to compile the plugin; first on-device iteration expected.
