The main issue here is, when the microphone input is added, the device loses any haptic system sounds.
I setup the audio session here:
let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
do {
try self.audioSession.setCategory(.playAndRecord, options: .mixWithOthers)
try self.audioSession.setAllowHapticsAndSystemSoundsDuringRecording(true)
try self.audioSession.setActive(true)
} catch { }
I make sure I am using setAllowHapticsAndSystemSoundsDuringRecording.
Though out the app, I am adding the microphone and removing it on-demand:
do {
let microphonePermission = AVCaptureDevice.authorizationStatus(for: AVMediaType.audio)
if microphonePermission != .denied && microphonePermission != .restricted {
let audioDevice = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: AVMediaType.audio)
let audioDeviceInput = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: audioDevice!)
if self.session.canAddInput(audioDeviceInput) {
self.session.addInput(audioDeviceInput)
}
else { print("Could not add audio device input to the session.") }
} else {
}
}
catch { print("Could not create audio device input: \(error).") }
As soon as the microphone is added, it loses haptic feedback and system sounds.
