In my app there is a recording option.
I written code to record the voice by using AVAudioRecorder it will work fine, but my client requirement is it opens the native Voice recorder in ios device that is "Voice Memos". As per my research so many answered that we are unable to access Voice Memos app. I am confused.
Can u please help me there is an any way to access Voice Memos.
Till date it is not allowed to access voice memos recorded by native ios recorder. The best option is to use AVAudioRecorder and let the user record their own memos in your app to upload to the server and access these to show the recorded memos.

I'm currenty trying to find out if it's possible to control the music of other apps, e.g. Spotify, within my app. The two solutions I found are:
using the SDK of the specific service (e.g. Spotify SDK)
take over the audio session in my app, but this only allows me to stop/ play the music
I'm trying to find a solution that provides me with pause, play, forward, backward control and access to the title, maybe also the cover. Then I came across the "Sony Headphones Connect" app. It has a page with media control buttons, the title of the current song and is does not require any kind of sing in to Spotify or something else.
Picture is from the app from the App Store, I tested the controls and they work.
So somehow it must be possible, does anyone have an idea how I can achieve my desired result or how the "Sony Headphones Connect" app is handling this issue?
I think I found the answer, the "Sony Headphones Connect" app is controlling the music over bluetooth. So it's not directly possible to control the music of another app.
We are trying to capture voice notes on one of our app using the Capture.captureAudio() method.
On iOS, the recording starts before the permission prompt comes up resulting in a stuffed audio file.
Is there a way to prompt for the permission before the recording starts or are we doing something wrong.
I have an idea for an app and have the design created but unsure how to go about doing it programatically. The idea is simple... ping a silent phone the way "Find My Phone" can make a silent phone make a sound. The idea is to have the app read an incoming text message with a command embedded in the text from an "authorized" user.
Example: #URGENT from my wife would make my phone sound even if it was on silent but #URGENT from my friend would not cause any action because he is not "Authorized" in my app.
From what I have found online, reading text messages in iOS is prohibited unless you build your own API/SKD (BMW reads the text from the notification center for their iDrive function) which will then get rejected by the app store. Is this correct or is there a way to do this?
My questions:
Can an app trigger an event by reading text messages with embedded commands like on Android?
In iOS is there any way to make a silent phone create a sound at full volume?
I've found that this is possible for Android, but I want to see if it is possible for iOS.
Unfortunately, the answer is no.
In order:
An iOS app has no access to the text messages of the user at all, so there's no way to trigger anything that way.
Not as a notification sound, but it's possible that by using a background audio session you could play a sound on a phone that is silenced, but still has the media volume up. However, Apple might not like this (you'd be using media playback APIs for alert noises, Apple doesn't want anyone circumventing the users decision to silence the phone).
Hey I have a video app which uses AVPlayer, I received an email from a user saying he couldn't use his car's bluetooth anymore since I updated the app some time ago.
Now, I didn't tried to support bluetooth back then, but apparently this functionality came along with MPMoviePlayerController which I used before.
Is there a way to check if there's a bluetooth device connected and to send audio to it?
I've seen this question, but it didn't help, the volume control shows but no button letting me chose the output.
Do I have to do something else in order to use bluetooth as output?
I've only tested with my car's bluetooth, which works with phone calls and also other apps like Viber.
I am developing an iOS app that will play music from soundcloud. I want to give the user the option of an offline mode so he/she can play music even if there is no connection available.
it is technically possible to download the streamed mp3:s locally (I have already implemented it) but will Soundcloud allow me to do it? I have no intention of making these mp3:s accessible outside the app.
The problem of using a downloaded copy instead of the streamed track would be that the play would not count. Is there a way to register a play without actually playing the track?
I have tried to reach them through mail and twitter but I have got no reply yet.
Any thoughts?
