iOS simulator will not record audio

I’m using the record package and maybe a year ago I was able to record audio via the iOS simulator but since iOS 15 I was no longer able to record on the simulator.

The Android Emulator still works, and iOS physical devices work. Has anyone else experienced this and been able to fix it?

I posted about it on StackOverflow months ago and was told basically nothing helpful.

I don’t have any experience with recording audio using the simulator, but I have learnt that as it is just a simulator and not full emulation (unlike Android) not to rely on it for anything other and making sure my UI is working correctly. Even if audio recording was working, given how differently the simulator handles things like running in the background I would not trust it to give an accurate representation of how it would work on a real device.

I think your best bet, unfortunately, is to use a physical iOS device for testing recording.
