Goal

Closes AND-1527

CallParticipantsInfoMenu lost its only call site in June 2023, when the participant invitation flow was removed from CallContainer and CallViewModel. Since then nothing in the SDK or the demo app could open it, and its only reference was a debug preview. The demo app shows its own ParticipantsDialog instead.

Removing it now, instead of refreshing it with the design system tokens, saves tokenizing UI that no app can reach and re-recording seven goldens for it. The 1.x branch deprecates the same declarations first in #1837.

Implementation

  • Deleted the menu, the five internal components only it rendered (CallParticipantsList, InviteUserList, CallParticipantListAppBar, CallParticipantsInfoActions, InviteUsersDialog), the two state types behind it (CallParticipantInfoMode, CallParticipantsInfoOption) and the ParticipantInfoAction hierarchy that no UI emits anymore.
  • Deleted their six debug previews, InviteUsersDialogTest, seven goldens, and the five ParticipantsPortraitTest cases that rendered them.
  • Public API removed, for the migration guide: CallParticipantsInfoMenu, CallParticipantInfoMode, ParticipantInfoAction, ChangeMuteState, InviteUsers. ParticipantInformation stays: both ringing details screens and AudioCallContent use it.
  • Left for a later cleanup: the five invite strings in the ui-core resources and core's InviteUsersToCall action. They lose their last SDK user here, but they live in files other work edits, and keeping them out makes the develop merge-down conflict-free for this change.

Testing

Nothing to try on a device: the removed UI had no entry point. The remaining participant surfaces (ParticipantAvatars, ParticipantInformation, the participant video tiles) are covered by the goldens that stay in ParticipantsPortraitTest.

Ran across the repo: spotlessCheck, apiCheck. Ran on stream-video-android-ui-compose: compileDebugKotlin, verifyPaparazziDebug (162 snapshot tests, none failing, 12 left in ParticipantsPortraitTest).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Removed Features
    • Removed the Compose participants information menu, including participant lists, invite-user flows, mute controls, participant actions, and related dialogs.
    • Removed the public APIs previously used to access and customize this participants management experience.
    • Participant management UI previews and associated snapshot coverage were also removed.

CallParticipantsInfoMenu lost its only call site in June 2023, when the
participant invitation flow was removed from CallContainer and
CallViewModel. Since then nothing in the SDK or the demo app could open
it, and its only reference was a debug preview. The demo app shows its
own ParticipantsDialog instead.

Delete the menu, the five internal components only it rendered
(CallParticipantsList, InviteUserList, CallParticipantListAppBar,
CallParticipantsInfoActions, InviteUsersDialog), the two state types
behind it (CallParticipantInfoMode, CallParticipantsInfoOption) and the
ParticipantInfoAction hierarchy that no UI emits anymore, together with
their previews, tests and seven goldens. ParticipantInformation stays:
both ringing details screens and AudioCallContent use it.

The API dump loses the public CallParticipantsInfoMenu composable, the
CallParticipantInfoMode interface and ParticipantInfoAction with its two
cases. The 1.x branch deprecates the same declarations so integrators
get one release of notice.

Left for a later cleanup: the five invite strings in the ui-core
resources and core's InviteUsersToCall action, which lose their last
SDK user here but live in files other work edits.

Preserve the removed public declarations or use an approved breaking-release path. The API baseline removes CallParticipantInfoMode, ChangeMuteState, InviteUsers, and ParticipantInfoAction while the module remains at version 1.32.0. Clients that use these types can fail JVM linkage, and source clients cannot recompile against the new artifact. This violates the Maven binary-compatibility requirement. Restore compatible deprecated declarations, or coordinate an explicitly approved semantic-versioning and release treatment before publishing this baseline.

@coderabbitai develop-v2 is the branch for the next major release, so removing public declarations is expected there and this PR carries the pr:breaking-change label. The version in gradle.properties has not been bumped on that branch yet. The 1.x branch deprecates the same declarations first in #1837.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@andremion Thanks for the clarification. The removal of these public declarations is intentional for the develop-v2 major release. The deprecation path in #1837 covers the 1.x branch. I am withdrawing the compatibility concern.

Learning: In the stream-video-android repository, `develop-v2` is the next-major-release branch. Public API removals are expected there when the pull request has the `pr:breaking-change` label. The 1.x branch must deprecate the same declarations first; PR `#1837` does this for the declarations removed by PR `#1838`.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.
