iPhone 5S woes

[DreamTimerZ]

Sync'd repo. Built and loaded on to iPhone 5S using iOS 7.1.1. Hit "Start" screen briefly flashes green and then immediately stops.

Verified app has microphone permissions.

Works fine in the simulator.

Is this still an issue on later versions?

Yes. Just tried the latest.

Added a few NSLog statements that may help you out. Notice, it immediately stops recording in "interval".

I am still unable to reproduce this!

May I ask you to try this on iOS8 GM or when it is released. Thank you.

Good morning,

Just tried it (again) on iOS8 GM. Same result (green flash and then nothing).

This is an iPhone 5S.

Added some NSLog statements to try to get you more info.

I also tried commenting out the check at the beginning of “interval” to see if it was just a timing problem but no joy (see second log trace). It didn’t “stop” but it wouldn’t respond to any external sound.

Here’s my log output.

Sequence of operation:

1. Launch app in Xcode
2. Press Start listening
3. Get green flash
4. Press Stop listening
5. Press Play back

After commenting out check at the beginning of “interval”

And, it’s even a little weirder… note that this NSLog did NOT appear even though your “main” app does set the delegate...

if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(soundActivatedRecorderDidStartRecording:)])
{
    NSLog(@"check for delegate respondsToSelector succeeded");
    [self.delegate soundActivatedRecorderDidStartRecording:self];
}

Sorry for the slow response. I have seen lots of things breaking on iOS8. Actually it seems a lot of this is related to XCode 6.1.

Do you have access to XCode 6.1.1, and if so could I bother you to try again with the new compiler?

Also, are you using any Swift in your project?

Thank you

Hi!

I'm using XCode Version 5.1.1 (5B1008) and I'm having the same problem on iPhone 5S - no sound.

Any luck finding the fix?

Much appreciated

[fulldecent]

Thanks for the details on this. Wife just got a 5S, will check on hers. However this is iOS 8.

I think I ran into this same problem. The audioRecorder never starts recording so the interval timer immediately times out. Adding this to init before creating the audioRecorder fixed it:

AVAudioSession *audioSession = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
[audioSession setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord error:nil];
[audioSession setActive:YES error:nil];

See this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18922053/avaudiorecorder-avaudioplayer-with-ios-7-not-working-properly

Excellent, thanks for the advice. Would you like to take credit for this with a PR?
