CometChat Calls integration for Flutter UIKit v5 (GetX-based chat kit) on the v5 Calls SDK (cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2, added as a DIRECT dependency — raw SDK + custom call surface). Covers the 5.x lifecycle (CometChatCalls.init/login/loginWithAuthToken/generateToken/joinSession/getLoggedInUser), the CallSession.getInstance() in-call controls (mute/pauseVideo/switchCamera/raiseHand/setLayout/setAudioModeType/recording/leaveSession), SessionSettingsBuilder, the 5 split listeners (SessionStatus/ParticipantEvent/MediaEvent/ButtonClick/Layout), Android FCM + ConnectionService for VoIP push, iOS CallKit + PushKit, foreground service correctness on Android 14+, hangup cleanup, and additive-vs-standalone modes. The 4.x-bound cometchat_calls_uikit prebuilt call widgets are documented only as a legacy alternative incompatible with the 5.x calls SDK.

CometChat Calls integration for Flutter UIKit v5 (GetX-based chat kit) on the v5 Calls SDK (cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2, added as a DIRECT dependency — raw SDK + custom call surface). Covers the 5.x lifecycle (CometChatCalls.init/login/loginWithAuthToken/generateToken/joinSession/getLoggedInUser), the CallSession.getInstance() in-call controls (mute/pauseVideo/switchCamera/raiseHand/setLayout/setAudioModeType/recording/leaveSession), SessionSettingsBuilder, the 5 split listeners (SessionStatus/ParticipantEvent/MediaEvent/ButtonClick/Layout), Android FCM + ConnectionService for VoIP push, iOS CallKit + PushKit, foreground service correctness on Android 14+, hangup cleanup, and additive-vs-standalone modes. The 4.x-bound cometchat_calls_uikit prebuilt call widgets are documented only as a legacy alternative incompatible with the 5.x calls SDK.

compatibility
Flutter >= 2.5, Dart >= 2.17; cometchat_chat_uikit ^5.2.14; cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2 (DIRECT dependency — raw SDK, custom call surface); cometchat_sdk ^4.1.2. NOTE: cometchat_calls_uikit ^5.0.16 transitively pins cometchat_calls_sdk ^4.2.2 and its prebuilt call widgets are 4.x-bound — do NOT use them with the 5.x calls SDK.
Production-grade voice + video calling for Flutter UIKit v5 (GetX-based chat kit) on the v5 Calls SDK (cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2, added as a direct dependency). Loaded by cometchat-calls when framework === "flutter" and flutter_version === "v5". Operates in two modes:
Standalone — calls is the product. cometchat_chat_sdk (signaling) + cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2 (WebRTC) without the cometchat_chat_uikit UI Kit. Custom call screens. VoIP push is mandatory — same rule as native iOS / Android.
Additive — calls layered onto an existing v5 chat integration. Keep the existing GetX chat UI Kit (cometchat_chat_uikit), add the raw cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2 directly, and build a custom call surface around it. Mount the global incoming-call listener at the app shell.
DEPENDENCY CONTEXT — why raw SDK, not the calls UI Kit (read first). The V5 Flutter calls UI Kit cometchat_calls_uikit (latest 5.0.16) transitively pins cometchat_calls_sdk ^4.2.2, and its prebuilt call widgets (CometChatCallButtons / CometChatIncomingCall / CometChatOutgoingCall / CometChatOngoingCall) are compiled against the 4.x API. To run the 5.x calls SDK (cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2) on the Flutter V5 (GetX) chat UI Kit — per the product decision that all families use the V5 calls SDK — you integrate the raw cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2 directly with a custom call surface. You do NOT use cometchat_calls_uikit's prebuilt call widgets — they require the 4.x SDK and will clash with the 5.x pin. Wherever this skill mentions those widgets, they are a legacy 4.x-kit alternative, incompatible with the 5.x calls SDK. Substrate of record (Dart 5.x): ~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/cometchat_calls_sdk-5.0.2/lib/.
Read these other skills first:
cometchat-calls — dispatcher (modes, hard rules, anti-patterns)
1. The seven hard rules — Flutter v5 specialization (5.x Calls SDK)
THIS SKILL TARGETS THE 5.x CALLS SDK (read this first). Add cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2 as a direct dependency. The 5.x SDK splits its surface: lifecycle is static on CometChatCalls (init/login/loginWithAuthToken/logout/generateToken/generateCallToken/joinSession/getLoggedInUser) while in-call controls are instance methods on the CallSession singleton fetched via CallSession.getInstance(). Settings use SessionSettingsBuilder (NOT CallSettingsBuilder — @Deprecated in 5.0.2, src/builder/call_settings.dart:209). Events arrive through the 5 split listeners (NOT the single CometChatCallsEventsListener — @Deprecated, src/listener/cometchat_calls_events_listener.dart:16). Do not pull calls transitively via cometchat_calls_uikit — that brings the 4.x SDK (see the dependency-context note above).
1.0 The 5.x Calls SDK has its OWN login
Unlike 4.x, the 5.x Calls SDK is logged in explicitly and caches the auth token internally — generateCallToken/joinSession then need no per-call token argument. The lifecycle (all static on CometChatCalls, src/plugin/cometchatcalls.dart):
generateCallToken(sessionId, {onSuccess, onError}) — :565 (uses the cached auth token)
joinSession({sessionId: OR callToken:, sessionSettings:, onSuccess:, onError:}) — :735
getLoggedInUser() — :698
import 'package:cometchat_sdk/cometchat_sdk.dart';
import 'package:cometchat_calls_sdk/cometchat_calls_sdk.dart';
// 1. Chat SDK login (signaling).
CometChat.login(uid, AUTH_KEY,
onSuccess: (User user) async {
// 2. Calls SDK login (5.x has its own). Borrow the Chat auth token.
// getAuthToken() is NOT a User method — use the static CometChat.getUserAuthToken().
final authToken = await CometChat.getUserAuthToken();
if (authToken != null) {
CometChatCalls.loginWithAuthToken( // :316
authToken: authToken,
onSuccess: (cu) { /* Calls SDK ready */ },
onError: (CometChatCallsException e) { debugPrint(e.message ?? ''); },
);
}
},
onError: (CometChatException e) { /* chat login failed */ },
);
You can also CometChatCalls.login(uid: uid, authKey: AUTH_KEY, ...) (:224) directly with the app's auth key in dev. In production use loginWithAuthToken with a server-minted token (rule 1.4).
Surprises:
CometChatCalls.init(...) (:172) takes a CallAppSettings (built via CallAppSettingBuilder, src/builder/call_app_settings_request.dart:36) — appId + region, no authKey field.
After login, CometChatCalls.getLoggedInUser() (:698) returns the calls user; generateCallToken (:565) and joinSession (:735) use the cached auth token — no per-call token arg.
Both modes integrate the raw 5.x calls SDK directly (no calling-extension widget — that's a 4.x-kit construct). Chat SDK initiates ringing; the 5.x Calls SDK joins the WebRTC session via joinSession:
// ✓ RIGHT — raw 5.x dual-SDK (additive AND standalone)
import 'package:cometchat_chat_sdk/cometchat_chat_sdk.dart';
import 'package:cometchat_calls_sdk/cometchat_calls_sdk.dart';
// Chat SDK — initiate ringing
// Chat SDK Call — NAMED constructor; `type`/`receiverType` are Strings (the constants resolve to strings).
final outgoing = Call(
receiverUid: receiverUid,
type: CometChatCallType.video, // 'video'
receiverType: CometChatReceiverType.user, // 'user'
);
final settings = (SessionSettingsBuilder()
..setTitle('CometChat Call') // src/builder/session_settings.dart:155
..startAudioMuted(false) // :173
..startVideoPaused(false)) // :167
.build();
// initiateCall is VOID + callback-based — the Call (with sessionId) arrives in onSuccess,
// NOT via `await`/a return value. Join the WebRTC session inside that callback.
CometChat.initiateCall(
outgoing, // POSITIONAL Call arg
onSuccess: (Call initiated) {
CometChatCalls.joinSession(
sessionId: initiated.sessionId, // SDK mints the call token internally
sessionSettings: settings,
onSuccess: (Widget? widget) {
// render widget via SizedBox.expand; register split listeners on
// CallSession.getInstance() (rule 1.0 / references/call-session.md)
},
onError: (CometChatCallsException err) {
debugPrint('joinSession failed: ${err.message}');
},
);
},
onError: (CometChatException e) { debugPrint('initiateCall failed: ${e.message}'); },
);
Legacy 4.x-kit alternative (incompatible with the 5.x calls SDK). The old cometchat_calls_uikit path registered a CometChatCallingExtension on UIKitSettingsBuilder and used CometChatUIKitCalls.startSession + the prebuilt CometChatCallButtons/CometChatIncomingCall/CometChatOutgoingCall/CometChatOngoingCall widgets. Those widgets are compiled against the 4.x calls SDK — they cannot run against cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2. Do not mix them in.
1.2 VoIP push — flutter_callkit_incoming + firebase_messaging + platform-channel bridges
Standalone mode requires working VoIP push end-to-end. The Flutter stack:
flutter_callkit_incoming — bridges CallKit (iOS) and a custom heads-up notification (Android). Single Dart API for "ring this device".
firebase_messaging — FCM data messages on Android (priority high, data payload — NOT notification).
iOS PushKit — Flutter doesn't have a first-party PushKit plugin; the skill ships a tiny platform-channel bridge in ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift registering PKPushRegistry.voIP and forwarding payloads through a MethodChannel to Dart.
Server side — same split as native: PushKit (VoIP cert) for iOS, FCM data-message for Android.
In additive mode, this is opt-in but recommended.
1.3 Foreground service — Android 14+ rules apply unchanged
⚠️ Android build prerequisite — Jetifier. If your build pulls in any legacy com.android.support:* AAR transitively, AGP fails assembleDebug with dozens of Duplicate class android.support.v4.* errors against androidx.core. Set in android/gradle.properties:
The 5.x calls SDK ships CometChatOngoingCallService (src/services/ongoing_call_service.dart) — call CometChatOngoingCallService.launch() after the session starts and .abort() on teardown (both static Future<void>, no-arg). The host app's android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml must declare the four FOREGROUND_SERVICE permissions plus MANAGE_OWN_CALLS / BIND_TELECOM_CONNECTION_SERVICE — the same rule as native Android (cf. cometchat-android-v5-calls rule 1.3).
Silent crash on Android 14+ if FOREGROUND_SERVICE_PHONE_CALL is missing. The tools namespace must be declared on the <manifest> element.
1.4 Server-minted auth tokens
cometchat-flutter-v5-production covers the token-endpoint pattern. In production, log BOTH SDKs in with a server-minted auth token, not the app auth key: CometChat.loginWithAuthToken(token) (Chat SDK) then CometChatCalls.loginWithAuthToken(authToken: token, onSuccess:, onError:) (Calls SDK, :316). The 5.x calls SDK caches that token internally — generateCallToken (:565) / joinSession (:735) then need no per-call token.
Future<void> endCall(String sessionId) async {
// 1. Leave the Calls SDK session — releases WebRTC tracks.
// In 5.x the canonical teardown is the CallSession INSTANCE method
// leaveSession() (call_session.dart:272). The static CometChatCalls.endSession
// still exists (cometchatcalls.dart:676) but is @Deprecated — it just
// delegates to CallSession.getInstance()?.leaveSession() internally.
await CallSession.getInstance()?.leaveSession();
await CometChatOngoingCallService.abort();
// 2. Tell the OS-level call UI the call ended
await FlutterCallkitIncoming.endAllCalls();
// 3. Pop the call screen
if (mounted) {
Navigator.of(context, rootNavigator: true).popUntil((r) => r.isFirst);
}
// 4. After logout flows: reset ServiceLocator if it was used directly
// (UIKit handles this for additive mode)
}
Skipping FlutterCallkitIncoming.endAllCalls leaves the lock-screen/heads-up call UI stuck. Skipping the Navigator.popUntil strands the Dart-side call screen with WebRTC views still in the tree.
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key><string>So you can be seen during video calls.</string><key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key><string>So you can talk during voice and video calls.</string><key>UIBackgroundModes</key><array><string>audio</string><string>voip</string><string>remote-notification</string></array>
Android — manifest as above (rule 1.3) plus runtime requests via permission_handler.
1.7 IncomingCall mounted at app root + a global navigator key
With the raw 5.x SDK + custom call surface, use a plain GlobalKey<NavigatorState> on MaterialApp.navigatorKey so call overlays can navigate even when a call is initiated from a sub-route. (Do NOT use CallNavigationContext.navigatorKey — that is a cometchat_calls_uikit (4.x-kit) symbol and is not available on the raw 5.x SDK path.)
// ✓ RIGHT
final navigatorKey = GlobalKey<NavigatorState>();
MaterialApp(
navigatorKey: navigatorKey,
// ...
);
Incoming calls are signaled by the Chat SDKCallListener — register it app-wide in the app shell's State, not in a feature screen:
class AppShellState extends State<AppShell> with CallListener {
static const _listenerId = 'app-shell-call-listener';
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
CometChat.addCallListener(_listenerId, this);
}
@override
void dispose() {
CometChat.removeCallListener(_listenerId);
super.dispose();
}
@override
void onIncomingCallReceived(Call call) {
// Show your custom incoming-call UI / flutter_callkit_incoming, then on
// accept: CometChat.acceptCall(call.sessionId) → CometChatCalls.joinSession(...)
}
}
Use a stable string ID for the listener — duplicate IDs overwrite, distinct IDs fire both (double-ring bug).
Do NOT add cometchat_calls_uikit. Its latest (5.0.16) transitively pins cometchat_calls_sdk ^4.2.2 and clashes with the 5.x SDK above. The raw cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2 is the calls dependency; build a custom call surface around it (Section 3). See the dependency-context note at the top.
Standalone mode is identical except you use the raw cometchat_chat_sdk (CometChat.init) instead of the chat UI Kit for signaling.
3. The raw 5.x calls surface (custom UI)
Import the raw SDK barrel — it re-exports the lifecycle class, CallSession, SessionSettingsBuilder, the 5 listeners, the enums, and CometChatOngoingCallService:
You build the call surface yourself (custom widgets) around these APIs. There are no prebuilt 5.x call widgets in this package — joinSession hands back a Widget? you render via SizedBox.expand, and you wrap it with your own controls bound to the CallSession singleton.
Lifecycle — static on CometChatCalls (src/plugin/cometchatcalls.dart):
Pin/unpin a participant (Flutter: single nullable arg + unPinParticipant capital P — differs from Android)
setChatButtonUnreadCount(int)
:489
In-call chat badge
leaveSession()
:272
End session, release tracks
Settings:SessionSettingsBuilder (src/builder/session_settings.dart) — setTitle (:155), startAudioMuted(bool) (:173), startVideoPaused(bool) (:167), setLayout(LayoutType) (:179), setIdleTimeoutPeriod(int seconds) (:185), setAudioMode(AudioMode) (:191), and the hide*Button(bool) family (:215–:305). NOT CallSettingsBuilder (@Deprecated, src/builder/call_settings.dart:209).
Listeners — register on CallSession.getInstance(): the 5 split interfaces in src/listener/: SessionStatusListeners, ParticipantEventListeners, MediaEventListeners, ButtonClickListeners, LayoutListeners. NOT the single CometChatCallsEventsListener (@Deprecated, src/listener/cometchat_calls_events_listener.dart:16). See references/call-session.md.
Legacy 4.x-kit alternative (incompatible with the 5.x calls SDK).cometchat_calls_uikit ships prebuilt CometChatCallButtons / CometChatIncomingCall / CometChatOutgoingCall / CometChatOngoingCall / CometChatCallLogs widgets and a CometChatUIKitCalls facade — but those are compiled against the 4.x calls SDK (cometchat_calls_sdk ^4.2.2). They cannot be used with cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2. Replicate their behavior with your own widgets bound to the raw 5.x API above. For call-log history, fetch via CometChatCalls.getCallDetails(sessionId, ...) or the Chat SDK CallLogRequestBuilder and render your own list.
4. Standalone integration
When product === "voice-video" and there is no v5 chat integration.
Telemetry attribution (ai-agent). Session mode (§4a) MUST init the calls SDK via CometChatCalls.initFromSettings(onSuccess:, onError:) (cometchat_calls_sdk >= 5.0.4, verified against lib/src/plugin/cometchatcalls.dart) reading the cometchat-settings.json asset — it persists the ai-agent source and the report fires on CometChatCalls.loginWithAuthToken/login. Additive mode (raw calls SDK added to a v5 chat integration) is attributed by the chat side when chat inits via CometChatUIKit.initFromSettings (cometchat-flutter-v5-core). Pin cometchat_calls_sdk: ^5.0.4 — the floor that ships initFromSettings.
Split by calling mode:
4a. Standalone — Session mode (meeting-room UX, no ringing)
5.x Calls SDK ONLY. The Chat SDK is present only as the source of the auth token used to log the Calls SDK in (rule 1.0). Scaffold:
pubspec.yaml — cometchat_calls_sdk: ^5.0.4 (the floor that ships initFromSettings) + cometchat_chat_sdk (for the auth token). No cometchat_chat_uikit, no cometchat_calls_uikit. Declare cometchat-settings.json under flutter: assets:.
lib/main.dart — CometChat.init(...) + CometChat.login(...) (Chat SDK only mints the auth token), then CometChatCalls.initFromSettings(onSuccess:, onError:) reading the committed cometchat-settings.json asset so the calls app self-reports integrationSource = "ai-agent" (on <= 5.0.3 the method is absent — fall back to CometChatCalls.init(callAppSettings, onSuccess:, onError:) built via CallAppSettingBuilder()..appId=…..region=…) + CometChatCalls.loginWithAuthToken(authToken: ..., ...) (the login that fires the report) + permission_handler flow.
lib/screens/call_screen.dart — StatefulWidget implementing the relevant 5.x split listeners (SessionStatusListeners, etc.). CometChatCalls.joinSession(sessionId: ..., sessionSettings: SessionSettingsBuilder().build(), onSuccess:, onError:). Register listeners on CallSession.getInstance() in onSuccess. CometChatOngoingCallService.launch/abort. See references/call-session.md.
Native config — Camera + microphone permissions only (no PushKit, no FCM for VoIP).
Why no chat UI Kit / no VoIP push: session mode never touches a Chat SDK call entity. No ringing. The Chat SDK is present only to mint the auth token for CometChatCalls.loginWithAuthToken.
lib/services/voip_service.dart — Combines flutter_callkit_incoming events + firebase_messaging + iOS platform-channel PushKit. On payload → FlutterCallkitIncoming.showCallkitIncoming(...). On accept → CometChat.acceptCall(sessionId) → navigate to ongoing-call screen.
lib/widgets/call_button.dart — Custom voice + video icon buttons → CometChat.initiateCall(...).
lib/screens/ongoing_call_screen.dart — CometChatCalls.joinSession(sessionId: ..., sessionSettings: ..., onSuccess:, onError:) with the returned Widget? rendered via SizedBox.expand. Implements rule 1.5 cleanup (CallSession.getInstance()?.leaveSession()). Sets resizeToAvoidBottomInset: false.
lib/screens/call_logs_screen.dart — /calls route. Custom list via Chat SDK CallLogRequestBuilder (or CometChatCalls.getCallDetails).
MaterialApp.navigatorKey: navigatorKey — a plain GlobalKey<NavigatorState> (rule 1.7).
Native config — Info.plist (rule 1.6), AndroidManifest.xml (rule 1.3 + FCM service registration), Firebase config (google-services.json in android/app/, GoogleService-Info.plist in ios/Runner/).
5. Additive integration
When chat is already integrated (existing GetX cometchat_chat_uikit). The skill:
Adds cometchat_calls_sdk: ^5.0.4 (raw, direct) to pubspec.yaml — NOT cometchat_calls_uikit.
Inits + logs in the 5.x Calls SDK alongside the existing chat init/login (rules 1.0, 1.1).
Sets a plain GlobalKey<NavigatorState> on MaterialApp.navigatorKey (rule 1.7).
Mounts the global Chat SDK CallListener in the app-shell State (rule 1.7).
Adds a custom call button (e.g. into CometChatMessageHeader's trailing slot) → CometChat.initiateCall(...).
Builds a custom ongoing-call screen around CometChatCalls.joinSession + CallSession controls (Section 3, references/call-session.md).
VoIP push: opt-in (substantial native config).
6. Anti-patterns
MaterialApp without a global navigatorKey. Call overlays can't navigate; in-app ring works but accept-into-ongoing breaks. Rule 1.7.
Adding cometchat_calls_uikit to get calls. It pins cometchat_calls_sdk ^4.2.2 and clashes with the 5.x SDK; its prebuilt call widgets are 4.x-bound. Use the raw 5.x SDK + custom surface.
CallSettingsBuilder / single CometChatCallsEventsListener / CometChatCalls.startSession. All 4.x (the builder + listener are @Deprecated in 5.0.2). Use SessionSettingsBuilder, the 5 split listeners, and joinSession.
Per-screen incoming-call handling. Calls only ring on the screen where the listener is attached. Listener belongs in the app shell (rule 1.7).
Skipping resizeToAvoidBottomInset: false on Scaffolds with call UI. Keyboard-show during a call resizes WebRTC views and breaks layout.
Calling in-call controls statically on CometChatCalls (e.g. CometChatCalls.muteAudio(...), CometChatCalls.setLayout(...)). In 5.x those are INSTANCE methods on CallSession.getInstance().
Sending Android push as notification instead of data. ConnectionService can't intercept notification payloads. Server must send data: { type: "incoming_call", sessionId: ... } with priority: "high".
7. Verification checklist
Static:
cometchat_calls_sdk ^5.0.2 is a DIRECT dependency in pubspec.yaml; cometchat_calls_uikit is ABSENT
Lifecycle uses CometChatCalls.init/loginWithAuthToken/joinSession; settings via SessionSettingsBuilder; events via the 5 split listeners on CallSession.getInstance()
In-call controls go through CallSession.getInstance()?.X(), not static CometChatCalls.X()
MaterialApp.navigatorKey is a GlobalKey<NavigatorState>
Global Chat SDK CallListener attached in app-shell State, removed in dispose
Listener uses a stable string ID
Camera + microphone + notification permissions requested via permission_handler
