We have an issue when we screenshare from iOS client. During screenshare, the invitees are unable to view other apps or screens when the publisher navigates to other application.

//Following is the code that we are using--

fileprivate func startScreenSharing() { self.isSharingScreen = true

    multipartyScreenSharer = OTMultiPartyCommunicator.init(view: UIApplication.shared.keyWindow)
    multipartyScreenSharer?.dataSource = self

    // publishOnly here is to avoid subscripting to those who already subscribed
    multipartyScreenSharer?.isPublishOnly = true

    publisherView?.isHidden = true
    multipartyScreenSharer?.connect {
        [unowned self](signal, remote, error) in
        self.isSharingScreen = true

        guard error == nil else {
            self.dismiss(animated: true) {
                SVProgressHUD.showError(withStatus: error!.localizedDescription)
            }
            return
        }

        if signal == .publisherCreated {
            self.multipartyScreenSharer?.isPublishAudio = true
        }
    }
}

multipartyScreenSharer = OTMultiPartyCommunicator.init(view:UIApplication.shared.keyWindow)

We only can share the application window. Can someone explain how we can share besides the application window.

Thanks.

It is not straight forward to share other apps screens or home screen. You will need to implement screen sharing extension and implement OpenTok streaming in the extension.
