Walkthrough

Migrates audio and video usage from expo-av to expo-audio and expo-video across recording, playback, VoIP, ringer, previews, tests, and package dependencies, and updates seek and status handling to the new APIs.

Changes

Expo media migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Seek and playback status app/containers/AudioPlayer/Seek.tsx, app/containers/AudioPlayer/index.tsx	Seek callbacks become synchronous, gesture finalize uses saved seek snapshots, and playback status handling maps expo-audio fields to player state and end detection.
Recorder permissions and lifecycle app/containers/MessageComposer/components/Buttons/MicOrSendButton.tsx, app/containers/MessageComposer/components/RecordAudio/Duration.tsx, app/containers/MessageComposer/components/RecordAudio/RecordAudio.tsx	Recording permissions move to expo-audio APIs, recorder state types change to RecorderState, and recording now uses recorder hooks, stop-based cleanup, and recorder URI/state for upload and review paths.
VoIP end-of-call sound and tests app/lib/services/voip/playCallEndedSound.ts, app/lib/services/voip/playCallEndedSound.test.ts	VoIP call-ended playback uses a synchronous expo-audio player with watchdog cleanup, and the tests validate creation, completion, coalescing, timeout cleanup, and error logging.
AudioManager factory and caches app/lib/methods/AudioManager.ts	AudioManager becomes a factory-backed expo-audio manager with per-key player caches, listener management, seek and rate restoration, end handling, sequence lookup, and release-based unload logic.
Video rendering and preview app/views/AttachmentView.tsx, app/views/ShareView/Preview.tsx, app/views/AttachmentView.test.tsx	Attachment and share preview video playback use expo-video players and views, with loading, error, blur, and sizing behavior moved into local video components and the test mock removed.
Ringer playback app/containers/Ringer/index.tsx	The ringer component switches to expo-audio player hooks, maps sound names to assets, and starts looping playback from the created player.
Package dependencies package.json	expo-audio replaces expo-av in dependencies, and expo-video is added.
