Dec 1, 2025In December 2025, delivered a cohesive and production-ready Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature for bitmovin-player-react-native. The work spans enabling PiP with robust lifecycle handling, UI improvements, and a gated auto-PiP activation to minimize disruptions. We centralized PiP logic into a dedicated handler, implemented reliable event lifecycle cleanup, and performed targeted code organization and sample-app refinements to improve maintainability and onboarding. An experimental expo plugin workaround was evaluated and reverted to ensure stability. The result is a more resilient PiP experience that enhances multitasking support and user engagement across supported platforms.
