Recording Permission

Starting in iOS 7, your app must ask and receive permission from the user before you can record audio. If the

user does not give your app permission to record audio, then only silence is recorded. The system automatically

prompts the user for permission when you use a category that supports recording and the app attempts to

use an input route.

Instead of waiting for the system to prompt the user for recording permission, you can also use the

requestRecordPermission: method to manually ask the user for recording permission. Using the

requestRecordPermission: method allows your app to get recording permission from the user at a time

that doesn’t interrupt the natural flow of the app. This provides a smoother experience for the user.
