Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/740

Describe the issue

Receiving calls on Skype when installed through LC doesn't work, but placing or joining calls and all other functionality does, mostly as intended

Instructions to reproduce

Install Skype 8.138.0.213 in LiveContainer
Have another user attempt to either ring you in a group chat or call you directly either through Skype or MS Teams
Call fails, showing "[name] unavailable" or "[name] isn't online."

What version of LiveContainer and iOS are you using?

LC 3.6.0-Release (main/3a0007), iOS 18.5

Other

The value of CFBundleShortVersionString in the Info.plist is changed to a value higher than 8.200 solely for bypassing the Update Required screen, the app is otherwise fully unmodified. Receiving calls normally works on Skype outside of LiveContainer (App Store version prior to the 8.150.x update), so it isn't a Skype issue

If Skype (or any other VoIP apps in general) isn't running in LiveContainer in the background, it won't be able to receive calls. LiveContainer can only have one active app at the time, while multitask mode may not allow microphone input yet (#650).

It's running as the active app, and I'm not using multitask mode though, this happens both when it's in the foreground and background
