Is there a way to finish broadcast gracefully from within RPBroadcastSampleHandler?

Question

I am implementing a broadcast upload extension in iOS using my own custom SampleHandler extending RPBroadcastSampleHandler. The problem is pretty easy - I need a way to gracefully end the broadcast from within the extension.

The requirement is to stop broadcasting and turn off screen recording when all the other users stop watching the broadcast. I can easily detect that case. However, it seems that RPBroadcastSampleHandler does not provide a way to finish it, at least not a graceful way.

Based on official documentation, there is a broadcastFinished() callback on broadcast finishing (when the user ends it), and there is a way to finish it when there is an error - finishBroadcastWithError(_:). I could provide some nice error message and end it with an error, but I would prefer to just end it without showing any error at all - I don't want to indicate that there was any error, since this is intended behavior.

Anyone have a way on how to achieve this?

@iOSLifee as far as I know, there is no way to do this.. but if you come up with any good solution, please, let me know — Milan Nosáľ, Jul 05 '19 at 06:20
Have you got any solution on it.. because i am facing same issue and not able to dismiss to gracefully — Yogesh Dalavi, Nov 25 '19 at 12:53
@YogeshDalavi we just disconnect from the broadcast and in our app we try to open `RPSystemBroadcastPickerView` that allows the user to turn it off.. We haven't found a way to turn it off gracefully (the user has to do it AFAIK) — Milan Nosáľ, Nov 25 '19 at 15:04
Yes i have tried that way using RPSystemBroadcastPickerView . User can tap on top red bar to stop screen share. But not found a way to do it programatically without user interaction. — Yogesh Dalavi, Nov 26 '19 at 04:51

You should do it using Obj-C code. As you can see on the Telegram Official repository they use BroadcastUploadHelpers in order to stop the sampleHandler gracefully.

void finishBroadcastGracefully(RPBroadcastSampleHandler * _Nonnull broadcastSampleHandler) {
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wnonnull"
[broadcastSampleHandler finishBroadcastWithError:nil];
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
}

Is there a way to finish broadcast gracefully from within RPBroadcastSampleHandler?
