Twilio Video MediaStreamTrack TypeError with Cordova

I’m developing a video live streaming app with Cordova using Twilio video conferencing. I’m trying to stream video from the device front-facing camera. It works well Android but I'm facing some issues on iOS.

I’m using a cordova-plugin-iosrtc plugin to expose the navigator.mediaDevices API

on the connect method I get this error

TypeError: track must be a LocalAudioTrack, LocalVideoTrack, LocalDataTrack, orMediaStreamTrack

I changed the code to the required track type 

const { LocalAudioTrack, LocalVideoTrack, connect } = require('twilio-video');

constmediaStream = awaitnavigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints); 

const tracks = mediaStream.getTracks().map(track => track.kind === 'audio' ? newLocalAudioTrack(track) :newLocalVideoTrack(track)); const room = awaitconnect('token', { tracks });

and I get this error after the change

TypeError: Argument 1 ('track') to mediaStream.addTrack must be an instance of MediaStreamTrack and sometimes this one => typeError undefined isn't an object (evaluating 'tracks.id')

Thanks In Advance I appreciate any kind of help

Cordova IOS compiled version doesn't stream the same media stream track types as same as Safari does on Web, I switched to Capacitor.js and worked with its plugins but still, that didn't work with me.

As far as this issue it will not work with Cordova cordova-plugin-iosrtc and we postponed this feature in our app

Twilio developer evangelist here.

When you have MediaStreamTrack objects, you can pass them directly to Video.connect through the options. So, you can do something like this:

const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints);

const room = await Video.connect(token, { tracks: stream.getTracks() })

This will turn your MediaStreamTracks into LocalTracks without you having to worry about it.

Let me know if that helps at all.
