Project permissions

As you'll be using the microphone when making a call, you need to request the permission to use it.

Info.plist

Every Xcode project contains an Info.plist file containing all the metadata required in each app or bundle - you will find the file inside the AppToPhone group.

A new entry in the Info.plist file is required:

1. Hover your mouse over the last entry in the list and click the little + button that appears.

2. From the dropdown list, pick Privacy - Microphone Usage Description and add Microphone access required in order to make and receive audio calls. for its value.

Your Info.plist should look like this:

Request permission on application start

Open AppDelegate.h and import the AVFoundation library right after where UIKit is included:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

Next, call requestRecordPermission: inside application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: within AppDelegate.m:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    [AVAudioSession.sharedInstance requestRecordPermission:^(BOOL granted) {
        NSLog(@"Allow microphone use. Response: %d", granted);
    }];
    return YES;
}

Build and Run

You can now build and run the project, by either selecting Product > Run from the top menu, or pressing Cmd + R, and launch it in the simulator.

Notice the prompt asking for permission to use the microphone:
