Added manual disposal for pc factory related resources (peer connections/tracks/etc.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for explicitly releasing media tracks and media streams.
    • Added peer connection close and disposal operations.
    • Improved lifecycle management for call factories and associated media resources.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented stale call-factory instances from persisting when replacements are created.
    • Ensured resources are released in a consistent order during call-factory disposal.

Changes

iOS factory and media resource disposal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Factory lifecycle state and references
ios/RCTWebRTC/Utils/PeerConnectionFactory/PeerConnectionFactoryRegistry.swift
The registry reports live bare-fork defaults, separates reference release from disposal, and returns whether the final reference was released.
Resource disposal API wiring
ios/RCTWebRTC/WebRTCModule+RTCMediaStream.h, ios/RCTWebRTC/WebRTCModule+RTCPeerConnection.h, ios/RCTWebRTC/WebRTCModule.m
The module declares resource release operations and routes call-factory disposal through ordered cleanup.
Ordered factory cleanup and replacement
ios/RCTWebRTC/WebRTCModule.m
Factory creation replaces stale bare-fork defaults. Disposal closes peer connections, releases tracks and streams, clears video effects, and disposes the factory and audio device module with exception handling.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to ad341

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.

🩺 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.
