A project I'm working on works mainly around a good UI/UX. The one issue I'm facing is answering calls on a locked iOS device.

Documentation:

Apple introduced the CallKit and PushKit features to allow access to the native call screen which is good, but not ideal in my case.

There is good literature on both of these components, e.g.

Previously asked?

There are many questions about this issue, mostly centered around 2 years ago, which is why I am asking again.

Some extra CallKit/PushKit tutorials

The issue is non of these, as far as I have read, provide a mechanism to open an app directly after answering.

Viable solutions

The only way to do this with the current implementation is to use the last of the 6 buttons on the CallKit screen (optionally with an AppIcon), see image [Masked Image Icon]:

Question:

I can't find any solution to open my iOS (Flutter app) when answering a VoIP call from a locked state - is this at all possible?

    This isn't possible due to the CallKit used by iOS - this is simply they way they've implemented any and all call answering to standardize it across apps see Discord, WhatsApp, etc – CybeX Nov 30 '21 at 07:35
  • On whatsapp after answering call app automatically open how it's possible during locked mode? – Asad Farooq Nov 30 '21 at 12:03
  • On Android yes, just tested and confirmed it is not the case with iOS. the CallKit is used and goes the the screen shown above. To go to WhatsApp, you have to press the Masked image icon (6th button) – CybeX Nov 30 '21 at 15:10
