[Due for payment 2026-06-01] [BATCH 5] Migrate to requestIdleCallback

[blazejkustra]

requestIdleCallback

Refer to README.md for more information what's the overall strategy and why we're migrating away from InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions.

Strategy

Use requestIdleCallback for non-urgent background work

Pusher subscriptions, typing event listeners, search API calls, and contact imports are non-urgent background work. They should not block rendering or animations. requestIdleCallback schedules them during idle periods.

1. Realtime Subscriptions

File	Line	Current	Migration	PR
Pusher/index.ts	206	InteractionManager wrapping subscribe call	Replace with requestIdleCallback(() => subscribe())	#53751
Pusher/index.native.ts	211	InteractionManager wrapping subscribe call	Replace with requestIdleCallback(() => subscribe())	#56610
UserTypingEventListener.tsx	35	InteractionManager wrapping unsubscribe	Replace with requestIdleCallback(() => unsubscribe())	#39347
UserTypingEventListener.tsx	49	Store ref for InteractionManager handle	Update to store requestIdleCallback handle ref	#39347
UserTypingEventListener.tsx	59	InteractionManager wrapping subscribe	Replace with requestIdleCallback(() => subscribe())	#39347
UserTypingEventListener.tsx	70	InteractionManager wrapping unsubscribe	Replace with requestIdleCallback(() => unsubscribe())	#39347

Please do not post proposals, since this will be implemented by Software Mansion team or later distributed to externals. Thank you!
