cometchat-flutter-v6-calls

CometChat Calls integration for Flutter UIKit v6 (Bloc-based, stable). Production-ready at v6.0.1 GA (validated 2026-05-27 on Pixel 3) with ONE explicit MaterialApp wiring requirement still active from v6.0.0-beta2 — MaterialApp MUST wire navigatorKey to CallNavigationContext.navigatorKey or the outgoing-call screen never renders. (Vendor's own 6.0.1 sample is missing this line and broken out-of-the-box — file a vendor ticket if you find that sample first.) The earlier outgoing-to-in-call BLoC transition bug from beta2 is FIXED in 6.0.1 GA per the v6.0.0 changelog's 'Refreshed BLoC implementations across ongoing call flows' entry. Customers can now use V6 for calls. Covers UIKitSettings calling block, CometChatUIKitCalls.init() after CometChatUIKit.init() (CALLS_INIT_AFTER_CHAT_INIT), the kit's Bloc-driven CometChatCallButtons / CometChatIncomingCall / CometChatOutgoingCall / CometChatOngoingCall / CometChatCallLogs / CometChatCallBubble widgets, CallingConfiguration, CallOperationsServiceLocator lifecycle, VoIP push via external packages (FCM + PushKit + flutter_callkit_incoming — there is NO bundled native_call_kit module in the kit), and additive-vs-standalone modes.
