On iOS, the OS suspends the process within seconds of the screen locking or the app being backgrounded. While suspended, the Rust SDK's reconnect loop (10 attempts × 5s) cannot actually run, exhausts its retries, and fires Disconnected with no path to recover when the app returns to the foreground. Android shows the same symptom under longer backgrounding via Doze. Disconnect the room cleanly when OnApplicationPause(true) fires, and rebuild the connection — auto-restoring camera and mic if they were enabled — when the app resumes. This avoids relying on the engine's auto-reconnect across a suspension window where it can't make progress. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Alternative to #281
Attempt to not have to run
FOREGROUND_SERVICEOnApplicationPause(true)the Meet sample now disconnects from the room and cleans up tracks (after snapshotting whether camera/mic were active).OnApplicationPause(false)it rebuilds the connection by re-fetching a token, reconnecting, and re-publishing camera/mic if they were on before.Disconnected, and never recover.This is a sample-level fix only — the underlying SDK still has no manual reconnect surface; that's a separate item.
