MPVolumeView's showsRouteButton was deprecated (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mediaplayer/mpvolumeview/showsroutebutton?language=objc). It's not clear how can we now hide this button without deprecation warning. The documentation is lacking. Please advise. Thank you!

Context: I am currently developing an app using the Push-to-Talk (PTT) framework. I have reviewed both the PTT framework documentation and the CallKit demo project to better understand how to properly manage audio session activation and AVAudioEngine setup. I am not activating the audio session manually. The audio session configuration is handled in the incomingPushResult or didBeginTransmitting callbacks from the PTChannelManagerDelegate. I am using a single AVAudioEngine instance for both input and playback. The engine is started in the didActivate callback from the PTChannelManagerDelegate. When I receive a push in full duplex mode, I set the active participant to the user who is speaking. Issue When I attempt to talk while the other participant is already speaking, my input tap on the input node takes a few seconds to return valid PCM audio data. Initially, it returns an empty PCM audio block. Details: The audio session is already active and configured with .playAndRecord. The input tap is already installed when the engine is started. When I talk from a neutral state (no one is speaking), the system plays the standard "microphone activation" tone, which covers this initial delay. However, this does not happen when I am already receiving audio. Assumptions / Current Setup Because the audio session is active in play and record, I assumed that microphone input would be available immediately, even while receiving audio. However, there seems to be a delay before valid input is delivered to the tap, only occurring when switching from a receive state to simultaneously talking. Questions Is this expected behavior when using the PTT framework in full duplex mode with a shared AVAudioEngine? Should I be restarting or reconfiguring the engine or audio session when beginning to talk while receiving audio? Is there a recommended pattern for managing microphone readiness in this scenario to avoid the initial empty PCM buffer? Would using separate engines for input and output improve responsiveness? I would like to confirm the correct approach to handling simultaneous talk and receive in full duplex mode using PTT framework and AVAudioEngine. Specifically, I need guidance on ensuring the microphone is ready to capture audio immediately without the delay seen in my current implementation. Relevant Code Snippets Engine Setup func setup() { let input = audioEngine.inputNode do { try input.setVoiceProcessingEnabled(true) } catch { print("Could not enable voice processing \(error)") return } input.isVoiceProcessingAGCEnabled = false let output = audioEngine.outputNode let mainMixer = audioEngine.mainMixerNode audioEngine.connect(pttPlayerNode, to: mainMixer, format: outputFormat) audioEngine.connect(beepNode, to: mainMixer, format: outputFormat) audioEngine.connect(mainMixer, to: output, format: outputFormat) // Initialize converters converter = AVAudioConverter(from: inputFormat, to: outputFormat)! f32ToInt16Converter = AVAudioConverter(from: outputFormat, to: inputFormat)! audioEngine.prepare() } Input Tap Installation func installTap() { guard AudioHandler.shared.checkMicrophonePermission() else { print("Microphone not granted for recording") return } guard !isInputTapped else { print("[AudioEngine] Input is already tapped!") return } let input = audioEngine.inputNode let microphoneFormat = input.inputFormat(forBus: 0) let microphoneDownsampler = AVAudioConverter(from: microphoneFormat, to: outputFormat)! let desiredFormat = outputFormat let inputFramesNeeded = AVAudioFrameCount((Double(OpusCodec.DECODED_PACKET_NUM_SAMPLES) * microphoneFormat.sampleRate) / desiredFormat.sampleRate) input.installTap(onBus: 0, bufferSize: inputFramesNeeded, format: input.inputFormat(forBus: 0)) { [weak self] buffer, when in guard let self = self else { return } // Output buffer: 1920 frames at 16kHz guard let outputBuffer = AVAudioPCMBuffer(pcmFormat: desiredFormat, frameCapacity: AVAudioFrameCount(OpusCodec.DECODED_PACKET_NUM_SAMPLES)) else { return } outputBuffer.frameLength = outputBuffer.frameCapacity let inputBlock: AVAudioConverterInputBlock = { inNumPackets, outStatus in outStatus.pointee = .haveData return buffer } var error: NSError? let converterResult = microphoneDownsampler.convert(to: outputBuffer, error: &error, withInputFrom: inputBlock) if converterResult != .haveData { DebugLogger.shared.print("Downsample error \(converterResult)") } else { self.handleDownsampledBuffer(outputBuffer) } } isInputTapped = true }

Hi, I just started to develop audio unit hosting support in my application. Offline rendering seems to work except that I hear no output, but why? I suspect with the player goes something wrong. I connect to CoreAudio in a different location in the code.

I’m using the shared instance of AVAudioSession. After activating it with .setActive(true), I observe the outputVolume, and it correctly reports the device’s volume. However, after deactivating the session using .setActive(false), changing the volume, and then reactivating it again, the outputVolume returns the previous volume (before deactivation), not the current device volume. The correct volume is only reported after the user manually changes it again using physical buttons or Control Center, which triggers the observer. What I need is a way to retrieve the actual current device volume immediately after reactivating the audio session, even on the second and subsequent activations. Disabling and re-enabling the audio session is essential to how my application functions. I’ve tested this behavior with my colleagues, and the issue is consistently reproducible on iOS 18.0.1, iOS 18.1, iOS 18.3, iOS 18.5 and iOS 18.6.2. On devices running iOS 17.6.1 and iOS 16.0.3, outputVolume correctly reflects the current volume immediately after calling .setActive(true) multiple times.

Hello, Starting in iOS 17, our application started having some issue publishing to our video session. More specifically the video capture seems to be broken in some, but not all sessions. What's troubling is that we're seeing that it fails consistently every 4 sessions. It also fails silently, without reporting any problems to the app. We only notice that there are no frames being rendered or sent to the remote devices. Here's what shows-up in the console: <<<< FigCaptureSourceRemote >>>> Fig assert: "! storage->connectionDied" at bail (FigCaptureSourceRemote.m:235) - (err=0) <<<< FigCaptureSourceRemote >>>> Fig assert: "err == 0 " at bail (FigCaptureSourceRemote.m:253) - (err=-16453) Anyone seeing this? Any idea what could be the cause? Our sessions work perfectly on iOS16 and below. Thanks

Hey there, I just upgraded to Mac OS Tahoe ,son an apple MacBook Pro 2019 16inch. am using IntellijIDEA and Flutter to develop a mobile app which I test on the simulator app running iOS 18.4 . the issue: when I start the simulator app. ( while in the loading phase and in the operation phase as well ), the audio from an already open YouTube tab on safari (this happens on chrome browser as well). the sound glitches and becomes Noise. a fix I found online is to kill the audio deamon on Mac OS, This works using the command: "sudo killall coreaudiod" this kills the audio process, (while the emulator is operational), then the macOS restarts the audio deamon then the audio works fine alongside with the simulator being open. I just want to ask is there a permanent fix for this? is Apple working on a fix for this in the upcoming update?

Bug Report: ScreenCaptureKit System Audio Capture Crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS Summary When using ScreenCaptureKit to capture system audio for extended periods, the application crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS in Swift's error handling runtime. The crash occurs in swift_getErrorValue when trying to process an error from the SCStream delegate method didStopWithError. This appears to be a framework-level issue in ScreenCaptureKit or its underlying ReplayKit implementation. Environment macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 Swift 5.8 ScreenCaptureKit framework Detailed Description Our application captures system audio using ScreenCaptureKit's audio capture capabilities. After successfully capturing for several minutes (typically after 3-4 segments of 60-second recordings), the application crashes with an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error. The crash happens when the Swift runtime attempts to process an error in the SCStreamDelegate.stream(_:didStopWithError:) method. The crash consistently occurs in swift_getErrorValue when attempting to access the class of what appears to be a null object. This suggests that the error being passed from the system framework to our delegate method is malformed or contains invalid memory. Steps to Reproduce Create an SCStream with audio capture enabled Add audio output to the stream Start capture and write audio data to disk Allow the capture to run for several minutes (3-5 minutes typically triggers the issue) The app will crash with EXC_BAD_ACCESS in swift_getErrorValue Code Sample func stream(_ stream: SCStream, didStopWithError error: Error) { print("Stream stopped with error: \(error)") // Crash occurs before this line executes } func stream(_ stream: SCStream, didOutputSampleBuffer sampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer, of type: SCStreamOutputType) { guard type == .audio, sampleBuffer.isValid else { return } // Process audio data... } Expected Behavior The error should be properly propagated to the delegate method, allowing for graceful error handling and recovery. Actual Behavior The application crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS when the Swift runtime attempts to process the error in swift_getErrorValue.

Impact This issue prevents reliable long-duration audio capture using ScreenCaptureKit. This bug significantly limits the usefulness of ScreenCaptureKit for any application requiring continuous system audio capture for more than a few minutes. Perhaps this issue might be related to a macOS bug where the system dialog indicates that the screen is being shared, even though nothing is actually being shared. Moreover, when attempting to stop sharing, nothing happens.

I'd like to find out: Can backgrounded apps record audio? In the past as I recall, I found that backgrounded apps were pretty restricted and couldn't do much of anything. However I'm not familiar with the current state of affairs. With iOS 15.8 and above, can backgrounded apps record audio if they've been given permission by the user to access the microphone? Thanks.

We require assistance in resolving a critical audio design conflict within our Push-to-Talk (PTT) application. Our current volume amplification strategy—which relies on applying a GAIN factor to PCM samples in conjunction with setting the AVAudioSession category to Playback—is working successfully when PTT is used independently. However, upon integrating and reporting the same PTT call through the CallKit framework, this amplification effect is lost. The CallKit integration appears to be forcing a different, non-amplifying audio session category or configuration, negatively impacting the user's perceived call volume. We need guidance on how to maintain the AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback setting, or an equivalent high-volume configuration, while operating under the control of CallKit.

Hi, macOS (latest macOS, latest HW, but doesn't matter) seems to prevent CoreMIDI driver logging with standard logging procedures (syslog, unified logging). The only chance to log something is writing to a file at one of the rare write-accessible locations for CoreMIDI. How is this supposed to work? Any hint is highly appreciated. Thanks!

I've been wondering if there is a way to modify or even disable tones for indicating channel states. The behaviour regarding tones seems like a black box with little documentation. During migration to Apple's PT Framework we've noticed that there are few scenarios where a tone is played which doesn't match certain certifications. For example; moving from a channel to another produces a tone which would fail a test case. I understand the reasoning fully, as it marks that the channel is ready to transmit or receive, but this doesn't mirror the behaviour of TETRA which would be wanted in this case. I'm also wondering if there would be any way to directly communicate feedback regarding PT Framework?

We have an application that capture audio and video. App captures audio PCM on internal or external microphone and displays audio level on the screen. App was working fine for many years but after iOS 26.4 upgrade, averagePowerLevel and peakHoldLevel are stuck to -120 values. Any suggestion?

I am trying to use SpeechTranscriber from Speech framework. Is it possible to use it on Simulator of iOS 26 (Mac OS Tahoe)? Function "supportedLocales" returns an empty array.

So, I've been wondering how fast a an offline STT -> ML Prompt -> TTS roundtrip would be. Interestingly, for many tests, the SpeechTranscriber (STT) takes the bulk of the time, compared to generating a FoundationModel response and creating the Audio using TTS. E.g. InteractionStatistics: - listeningStarted: 21:24:23 4480 2423 - timeTillFirstAboveNoiseFloor: 01.794 - timeTillLastNoiseAboveFloor: 02.383 - timeTillFirstSpeechDetected: 02.399 - timeTillTranscriptFinalized: 04.510 - timeTillFirstMLModelResponse: 04.938 - timeTillMLModelResponse: 05.379 - timeTillTTSStarted: 04.962 - timeTillTTSFinished: 11.016 - speechLength: 06.054 - timeToResponse: 02.578 - transcript: This is a test. - mlModelResponse: Sure! I'm ready to help with your test. What do you need help with? Here, between my audio input ending and the Text-2-Speech starting top play (using AVSpeechUtterance) the total response time was 2.5s. Of that time, it took the SpeechAnalyzer 2.1s to get the transcript finalized, FoundationModel only took 0.4s to respond (and TTS started playing nearly instantly). I'm already using reportingOptions: [.volatileResults, .fastResults] so it's probably as fast as possible right now? I'm just surprised the STT takes so much longer compared to the other parts (all being CoreML based, aren't they?)

Hi all, I have been quite stumped on this behavior for a little bit now, so thought it best to share here and see if someone more experience with AVAudioEngine / AVAudioSession can weigh in. Right now I have a AVAudioEngine that I am using to perform some voice chat with and give buffers to play. This works perfectly until route changes start to occur, which causes the AVAudioEngine to reset itself, which then causes all players attached to this engine to be stopped. Once a AVPlayerNode gets stopped due to this (but also any other time), all samples that were scheduled to be played then get purged. Where this becomes confusing for me is the completion handler gets called every time regardless of the sound actually being played. Is there a reliable way to know if a sample needs to be rescheduled after a player has been reset? I am not quite sure in my case what my observer of AVAudioEngineConfigurationChange needs to be doing, as this engine only handles output. All input is through a separate engine for simplicity. Currently I am storing a queue of samples as they get sent to the AVPlayerNode for playback, and after that completion checking if the player isPlaying or not. If it's playing I assume that the sound actually was played- and if not then I leave it in the queue and assume that an observer on the route change or the configuration change will realize there are samples in the queue and reset them Thanks for any feedback!

I started playing which transcription of audio files on macOS today, latest beta of Xcode and latest beta of Tahoe. Transcription itself works really well, but for some reason the majority of the results contain no audioTimeRange. I got 22 single-word results with time ranges, spread out all over total file of 53 minutes. Is there something I can do to improve this? To my understanding, I have followed sample code and instructions very closely, but the SwiftTranscriptionSampleApp and other examples I've seen lead me to believe I should be getting a lot more time ranges than I actually do.

I'm developing an iOS app that requires continuous audio recording. Currently, when a phone call comes in, the AVAudioSession is interrupted and recording stops completely during the ringing phase. While I understand recording should stop if the call is answered, my app needs to continue recording while the phone is merely ringing. I've observed that Apple's Voice Memos app maintains recording during incoming call rings. This indicates the hardware and iOS are capable of supporting this functionality. Request Please advise on any available AVAudioSession configurations or APIs that would allow my app to: Continue recording during an incoming call ring Only stop recording if/when the call is actually answered Impact This interruption significantly impacts the user experience and core functionality of my app. Workarounds like asking users to enable airplane mode are impractical and create a poor user experience. Questions Is there an approved way to maintain microphone access during call rings? If not currently possible, could this capability be considered for addition to a future iOS SDK? Are there any interim solutions or best practices Apple recommends for this use case? Thank you for your help. SUPPORT INFORMATION Did someone from Apple ask you to submit a code-level support request? No Do you have a focused test project that demonstrates your issue? Yes, I have a focused test project to submit with my request What code level support issue are you having? Problems with an Apple framework API in my app
