-------------------------------
Summary: iOS Media plugin: cannot play video and record audio
simultaneously
Key: CB-6820
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6820
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: iOS, Plugin Media
Affects Versions: 3.5.0, 3.6.0
Environment: iOS, all versions
Reporter: Nikos Nakas
Before the initiation of the recording process in iOS, the media API ensures
that the application is recording-capable, by setting the category of the
AVAudioSession to "AVAudioSessionCategoryRecord". This behavior is incorrect in
the case that the category is already set to the value of
"AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord". Obviously in this case, the application
already has recording capabilities, and changing the category to record-only
deprives the app of being able to play video at the same time.
The only possible workaround to this, is setting the AVAudioSession category to
play-and-record after the recording has started, and then initiate video play.
However, this may be unacceptable in various scenarios. Thus, the Media plugin
should first check if the audio session is already configured for
play-and-record, and if not, then set the session category to record-only.
