chore: improve pc factory disposal - #63
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesiOS factory and media resource disposal
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to The disposal path can release the peer-connection factory even when peer connections, tracks, or streams fail to clean up, leaving live dependents tied to a released factory and risking native resource failures. Merge should wait until cleanup failures preserve the factory for retry. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Do not dispose the factory after a dependent cleanup failure.
If peerConnectionDispose:, mediaStreamTrackRelease:, or mediaStreamRelease: throws, the affected resource can remain live. The method logs the exception and still calls disposeCurrent on Line 291. This violates the required dependency order and can release the factory while a WebRTC dependent still retains it.
Track cleanup failures. If any dependent remains registered, keep the factory alive and return failure so cleanup can be retried.
