When using the latest (6.11.0+) react-native-video alongside VAPI SDK, the voice stops working on physical iOS devices. This was tested mainly on an iPhone 16 running iOS 18.3.2. Reverting to v6.10.2 fixes the issue.
Here is a comparison of the changes made from 6.10.2. to 6.11.0: https://github.com/TheWidlarzGroup/react-native-video/compare/b8459ca71dd0a7695f0b03108af919de67c5d3d4..ede502bf748aae76fb37bda11d8bc335793162d5
My hunch is that is has something to do with the new Audio Session Manager (ios/Video/AudioSessionManager.swift).
I'm not sure if anyone encountered this issue, but perhaps this will help someone.
Maybe there is some way the VAPI SDK can be improved to mitigate interference of this sort?
