Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Compatibility: Requires @cloudflare/realtimekit-react-native (React Native Core) v2.0.0 or later

This is a major breaking release. Review all breaking changes below before upgrading.

Breaking changes

Upgraded to @cloudflare/realtimekit-react-native v2.0.0 and @cloudflare/realtimekit v2.0.0. All breaking changes from Web Core v2.0.0 and React Native Core v2.0.0 apply.
Removed the KeepAlive Service from the UI Kit. Background Audio/Video support for Android is now managed by @cloudflare/realtimekit-react-native v2.0.0. Update your integration to use useRealtimeKitClient({ keepAliveService }) from the Core SDK.
RtkPluginMain now uses plugin.component (an HTMLElement-like object) instead of an iframe. This aligns with the plugin API redesign in Web Core 2.0.0.
RtkMoreMenu is now scrollable rather than a fixed-height container.

Features

Breakout Rooms support:
- New RtkBreakoutRoomsManager component: full manager UI for creating, assigning participants, and starting or stopping breakout rooms.
- New RtkBreakoutRoomsToggle component: control-bar button to open or close the breakout rooms manager.
Connected meeting switching UI: RtkMeeting now handles changingMeeting events and shows a "Joining…" interstitial screen while switching between connected rooms.
New exported types: ConnectedMeeting, ConnectedMeetingParticipant, ConnectedMeetingState, PluginIframe.
New state fields in the States type:
- activeBreakoutRoomsManager — tracks breakout manager open/close state and room-switch destination.
- activeBreakoutConfirmation — breakout action confirmation dialog state.
