Background audio recording

Question

I wish to record audio when my app is not active. Currently AVAudioRecorder works great for active mode of app. But inactive mode is unpredictable.

AVAudioRecorder can be used for inactive also? Any other class which could serve the purpose?

Answer 1

From project navigation select your app - > capabilities - > turn on background modes -> check Audio, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture

This setup will add required background modes key in your info.plist

After making this setup you can record audio in background by AVAudioRecorder.
