CoHostStore
Introduction
Cross-room connection feature allows hosts from different live rooms to interact in real-time. CoHostStore provides a comprehensive set of APIs to manage the entire cross-room connection lifecycle.
Important:
Always use the factory method create(liveID:) with a valid live room ID to create a CoHostStore instance. Do not attempt to initialize directly.
Note:
Connection state updates are delivered through the state publisher. Subscribe to it to receive real-time updates about connection status, connected hosts, invitations and applications.
Warning:
If a connection request does not receive a response within the specified timeout, the timeout event will be triggered. Always handle timeout scenarios in your UI.
Features
Bidirectional Connection:Hosts can initiate connection requests to other hosts, and also receive connection requests from other hosts
State Management:Real-time tracking of connection status, connected hosts, invitation list and applicants
Event-Driven Architecture:Provides connection event stream for monitoring various connection state changes
Layout Templates:Supports multiple connection layout templates, such as dynamic grid layout and 1-to-6 layout

Connection Operations
requestHostConnection
Initiate host connection request
public func requestHostConnection(targetHost liveId: String,layoutTemplate: CoHostLayoutTemplate,timeout: TimeInterval,extraInfo: String = "",completion: CompletionClosure?){fatalError("\(#function) must be overridden by subclass")}
Initiate a cross-room connection request to target host.
After calling this method, a connection request is sent to the target host. The request will remain active until:
• Target host accepts via acceptHostConnection(fromHostLiveID:completion:)
• Target host rejects via rejectHostConnection(fromHostLiveID:completion:)
• Timeout expires
• You cancel via cancelHostConnection(toHostLiveID:completion:)
Version
Supported since version 3.5.
